WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump’s eldest son was told a Russian prosecutor was offering his father’s 2016 presidential campaign incriminating information about White House rival Hillary Clinton as part of Russian government support, according to an email chain that the son released on Tuesday.


“The Crown prosecutor of Russia offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” said the June 3, 2016, email to Donald Trump Jr from publicist Rob Goldstone.


“This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr Trump,” according to the email posted by Trump Jr on Twitter.


“If it’s what you say I love it,” Trump Jr replied in part.
