WH: Trump Jr. Had Reasons Not to Answer House Panel Questions

The White House said on Thursday that Donald Trump Jr. was on solid legal ground when he refused to answer questions from a congressional committee about a conservation he had with his father, President Donald Trump, about emails relating to a meeting he attended with Trump associates and Russians.

Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said the White House believed there was a "legitimate reason and basis for not answering those questions." She declined to provide details.
