U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted a defense his son, Donald Trump Jr., Wednesday morning against allegations of Russian collusion during the 2016 U.S. presidential election after details regarding a meeting between Trump Jr. and a Kremlin-linked lawyer became public.

Trump's defense included retweeting Fox New's Jesse Watters who claimed Trump Jr. is "the victim here," Trump himself tweeting, "This is the greatest Witch hunt in political history. Sad!" and a final tweet in which Trump wrote, "Remember, when you hear the words sources"sources say" from the Fake Media, often times sources are made up and do not exist."
"My son Donald did a good job last night," Trump also wrote on Twitter, referring to a television interview by his son late Tuesday on the issue.
