Where’s the Fight Over Don Jr.’s Testimony Headed?

The Special Counsel might have ended, but the investigations continue. Last week the Senate Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena for Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest child, to appear before them. Don Jr., as he’s often referred to, has been running the Trump Organization alongside his brother Eric since his father ascended to the presidency.More than his other siblings, Don Jr. has embraced the kind of populist messaging that elected his father in 2016. And the conservative base, at events such as the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), has returned that support. After his well-received speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention, National Review writer Michael Brendan Dougherty observed, “Republicans nominated the wrong Donald Trump.” Following the separation and then divorce from his wife, Don Jr. began dating former FOX News commentator Kimberly Guilfoyle.The media speculation that Don Jr. would follow his father’s footsteps into a political career, whether eventually running for governor of New York or the presidency itself, was dashed in the summer of 2017. It was revealed that during the previous summer’s campaign, Don Jr. organized a meeting at Trump Tower between himself, his brother-in-law (now senior advisor to the president) Jared Kushner, then-campaign manager (now federal inmate) Paul Manafort, and Russian lobbyists.
