Rep. Adam Schiff set his sights on a new target this week and directly accused Donald Trump Jr. of “misleading the country” during testimony he delivered months ago; baselessly suggesting the President’s eldest son made false “statements about Moscow.”
“We have a lot of concerns about the veracity of [Trump Jr.’s] statements about the Moscow-Trump Tower meeting. We know that publicly he misled the country about that meeting and the character of that meeting just as his father… misled the country about that,” said the House Intel Chairman.

Schiff’s comments come hours after the Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaed Trump Jr. to expand on more than 20 hours of testimony regarding his meeting at Trump Tower heading into the 2016 election.
DEVELOPING: Ocasio-Cortez THREATENS to ‘Subpoena' Trump Jr. for 'TROLLING'
Incoming Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez directly threatened Donald Trump Jr. with “subpoena power” on social media Friday; saying “keep it coming” after he posted a scathing critique online.
The future legislator warned the president’s son on Twitter Friday afternoon, posting “I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up. Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a ‘very, very large brain’ idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month. Have fun!” she tweeted.

Cortez’ comments come days after she came under fire from both parties for directly comparing members of the ‘migrant caravan’ in Tijuana with “Jewish families” who fled the Second World War.
BEHAR GOES NUCLEAR: Joy Says There’s NO DIFFERENCE Between Trump, Assad, Kim
Comedian Joy Behar found herself in hot-water Thursday after she wildly claimed there was no clear “moral” difference between President Trump, Kim Jong Un, and Bashar al-Assad; saying she sees Trump as “provoking war” across the globe.
“We’ve gotten to the point in this world now where we have to rely on the sanity of Kim Jong Un and [Vladimir] Putin over the President of the United States,” said Behar.
“Do you think Kim Jong Un is less moral than Trump? Do you?” Behar asked co-host Meghan McCain.
“It’s hard for me to sit here with moral relativism about many things with Trump,” McCain fired-back. “If you think that Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, and Bashar al-Assad, and President Trump are the exact same thing, it’s when you lose all arguments with me in every way.”
“What I’m saying is that the two of them are backing off of war and Trump is provoking war, that’s what I see,” said Behar.
