United States president Donald Trump is standing by his son as the controversy over Donald Trump Junior's meeting with a Russian lawyer continues to grow.


United States president Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to defend his son as "open, transparent and innocent."

The comments come after Donald Trump Junior released emails showing he met with a Russian lawyer, hoping to get information incriminating Hillary Clinton in last year's election.

Mr Trump Junior then appeared in a television interview on Fox News to defend his actions, but admitted he would "have done things a little differently" in retrospect.

The President has been quick to praise his son's interview, messaging on Twitter that Donald Trump Junior is a victim of the "greatest witch-hunt in political history."
