reality television personality. He is the eldest child of the 45th
president of the United States,

information about the
campaign of
Hillary Clinton in the
2016 presidential election.[2][3][4]
He has also received attention for promoting various conspiracy theories.[5][6]

February 14:
Eric and Donald Trump, Jr. own a massive private hunting preserve in upstate
New York — and neighbors say it sounds like a 'war zone'
Incorporation records filed with the state show that the LLC's articles of
organization were filed by a Trump Organization executive based out of Trump
Tower and that Trump Jr. designated himself in July 2013 as the company's
authorized person. In disclosure reports filed with New York City and obtained
by the AP under a public records request, Trump Jr. lists himself as the owner
of "DT Leather Hill Road LLC" and Eric Trump lists himself as the owner of "194
Leather Hill Road LLC."

July 11: President Donald Trump's eldest
son,
Donald Trump Jr., agreed to meet with someone he believed to be a "Russian
government attorney" last summer after receiving an email offering him "very

publicly released on Tuesday.

How Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump, Jr., Avoided a Criminal Indictment
In the spring of 2012, Donald Trump’s two eldest children, Ivanka Trump and
Donald Trump, Jr., found themselves in a precarious legal position. For two
years, prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office had been building
a criminal case against them for misleading prospective buyers of units in the
Trump SoHo, a hotel and condo development that was failing to sell. Despite the
best efforts of the siblings’ defense team, the case had not gone away. An
indictment seemed like a real possibility.
Back to top
The evidence included e-mails from the Trumps making clear that they were aware
they were using inflated figures about how well the condos were selling to lure
buyers.

Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.’s Wife, Files for Divorce
Ms. Trump, 40, is seeking an uncontested divorce to end her 12-year marriage
with the president’s son. Mr. Trump, 40, the eldest of five children from
President Trump’s three marriages, met his wife, a former model, when
his father introduced them at a 2003 fashion show. They married in 2005 at
Mar-a-Lago, the family’s club in Palm Beach, Fla. They have five children.
“After 12 years of marriage, we have decided to go our separate ways,” the
couple said in a joint statement. “We will always have tremendous respect for
each other and our families. We have five beautiful children together and they
remain our top priority. We ask for your privacy during this time.”

April 29: Did Donald Trump Jr. Admit to
Violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?
Back to top
The recently-released
Minority report of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI)
discloses a copy of an e-mail sent by Donald J. Trump Jr., on September 21,
2016, to a group of top Trump campaign officials. The e-mail is interesting
because Trump may have confessed in it to committing a federal crime,
specifically 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(2). It's just a misdemeanor based on the
facts we know. But depending on the circumstances, the violation could also be
a felony.

Russian lawyer: What to know

September
18: President Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr.
appeared to make light of new details of allegations of sexual assault against
his father's pick to be the next Supreme Court Justice. The social media post
comes as Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University in
California, detailed
the alleged encounter in the 1980's with Judge Brett Kavanaugh in an interview
with the Washington Post. Ford said in her account that Kavanaugh
"was trying to attack me and remove my clothing."
Trump Jr. posted a meme on Instagram Monday with the caption "Judge Kavanaugh
sexual assault letter found by Dems..." The photo attached shows a crumpled-up
piece of notebook paper with a scribbled message: "Hi Cindy will you be my
girlfriend, Love Bret." The note, which has boxes to check for "yes" or "no,"
seemingly compares Kavanaugh's accuser to a school yard crush.

Trump Jr. went on, writing, "Oh boy...the Dems and their usual nonsense games
really have him on the ropes now."

Rob Goldstone wishes he'd never set up that Trump Tower meeting with the
Russians
"I'm willing to believe that I don't know who wanted this meeting,"
Rob Goldstone told NBC's Cynthia McFadden in a wide-ranging interview, in
which he also discussed Trump's behavior in Moscow during the 2013 Miss Universe
pageant.
Asked if he had conveyed a "dirty offer" to the Trump team in brokering
the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, Goldstone said, "Yes. That is true."
"That [dirt] didn't materialize," said Goldstone, but he believes the apparent
willingness of campaign officials to accept dirt is what drew the scrutiny of
congressional investigators and special counsel Robert Mueller.
He considered
the Russian's presentation "complete and utter nonsense," he said.
Back to top
Nonetheless, he acknowledged that the candidate's son,
Donald Trump Jr., came into the room anticipating — and very happy to accept
— "opposition research" he believed was coming from the Russian government.

November 3:
Donald Trump Jr. Tweets Out a Neo-Nazi Dog Whistle
Perhaps because they are running scared, the Trump family—and Republicans in
general—are going all-in on a campaign of overt
racism and white supremacist dog whistles to rally MAGA voters across the
country as Tuesday’s midterm elections approach.
On Saturday, Don Jr. tweeted an attack against independent Maine Sen. Angus King
that could have come straight from the
white supremacist Iowa Republican congressman Steve King. It had the
standard fearmongering of the “other,” in this case, Syrian and “Somalian”
refugees; it criticized Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish; and for
good measure, it included the dog whistle term “88,” which neo-Nazis use as code
for “Heil Hitler.”
And no, it wasn’t a typo.

November 7: Donald Trump Jr. Expecting to Be
Indicted by Mueller Soon
Back to top
Last year, Donald Trump Jr.
testified that he never informed his father of a meeting with Russian
officials promising “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. It seemed hard to believe that
the ne’er-do-well son would neglect to seek credit for his expected campaign
coup from the father whose approval he so obviously craves. And now it seems
that Robert Mueller has obtained proof that it is not in fact true. The
Trump family lies all the time, of course, but doing it under oath is a crime.

17: ... the president's eldest son had to revise
his statement several times after it emerged that he agreed to the meeting after
he was offered "dirt" on Clinton. The offer, according to one email Trump Jr.
received from the British music publicist Rob Goldstone, was "part of Russia and
its government's support" for Trump's candidacy.
