Trump Junior’s web revelations

The eldest son of US President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Junior, has released a series of private Twitter exchanges between himself and Wikileaks during and after the 2016 election, including pleas from the website to publicise its leaks.

In the exchanges, Wikileaks praises his father’s positive comments about Wikileaks and asks Trump Junior to release his father’s tax returns to the site.

The revelations could increase calls in Congress to have Trump Junior testify publicly as part of several committee probes into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
