On Fox News, Donald Trump Jr. appears to confirm Comey's testimony on Flynn investigation

President Trump's outside counsel said the president “never, in form or substance, directed or suggested that Mr. Comey stop investigating anyone”

From the June 10 edition of Fox News' Justice with Judge Jeanine:

DONALD TRUMP JR.: I think it's clear that everything that went on in the Comey testimony was basically ridiculous. They're saying, “hey, he never asked me to stop a Russia investigation.” When I hear the Flynn comments, you know my father a long time, when he tells you to do something, guess what, there is no ambiguity in it. There is no, “hey, I'm hoping.” You and I are friends, “hey, I hope this happens, but you've got to do your job.” That's what he told Comey, and for this guy, as a politician, to then go back and write a memo, “oh, I felt threatened.” He felt so threatened? But, he didn't do anything.

JEANINE PIRRO (HOST): Did he lie under oath when he said --

TRUMP JR.: The dates seem very confusing to me, based on what I saw in The New York Times and based on his claim that it was because of a tweet from my father the day after? It doesn't seem right to me. 

PIRRO: That can't be the reason that it's based on a tweet when The New York Times had it. 

TRUMP JR.: Listen, he's a very sophisticated political player, and he's playing the game, but I think he even got caught up in his own nonsense on this one.
