Article snippet: President Trump defended his son Donald Trump Jr. again for the controversial meeting he held with a Russian attorney during the campaign season last year, calling him a "great young man" and saying that "most people would have taken that meeting." Trump Jr. has drawn fire for the meeting, as well as an email chain in which he was offered damaging information from a Russian government source about his father's campaign rival, Hillary Clinton. In response, Trump Jr. wrote, "I love it," but recently said that nothing came out of the meeting. He also denied the lawyer worked for the Russian government. "As far as my son is concerned, my son is a wonderful young man. He took a meeting with a Russian lawyer — not a government lawyer but a Russian lawyer. It was a short meeting. It was a meeting that went very, very quickly. Very fast," Trump Sr. said, responding to a question from ABC News' Cecilia Vega during a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. "I think, from a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting. It's called opposition research or even research into your opponent," Trump said. Before that, Trump and Macron spent much of the press conference talking about their mutual respect. Trump is in France to commemorate Bastille Day, the country's national holiday, on July 14, and the U.S. engagement alongside French troops during World War I. Link to the full article to read more
