Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump Are Lashing Out at Michael Cohen on Twitter
As President Donald Trump’s former longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen testified on Wednesday, the President’s sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took to Twitter to make their feelings known.
Amid the public testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee. Republican Rep. Jim Jordan alleged that Cohen was motivated to attack Trump because he didn’t get a job in the White House.
During the exchange, Cohen said that he was offered a White House job in the counsel’s office, which he declined because he if he took a position, he would no longer have attorney client privilege.
Trump’s sons saw the matter differently, taking to Twitter to sling barbs at Cohen.
Donald Trump Jr. tweeted:
Hahahaha Michael Cohen begged to work at the White House and everyone knows it.

Nailed it. It really was the biggest joke of the entire transition. The beginning of his bitterness was when he realized that was never going to happen. #Delusional. https://t.co/ddizWugguU
