Donny, Jr. might have nowhere to run now -- except to Daddy.

Now that the Ds control the House, Jr.'s false behind-doors testimony will be turned over to Mueller.

Fallout from Michael Cohen‘s plea deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller could soon ensnare President Donald Trump‘s oldest son. A presidential pardon might be his only hope.

Donald Trump Jr. previously made several statements about a prospective Trump Tower deal in Moscow when questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee in mid-May of this year. To hear Trump Jr. tell it at the time, this deal wasn’t that big of one–and the younger Trump played absolutely no part.

2. Trump Jr. was then pressed as to whether the counter-party was “somebody connected to [former mobster and Trump family business associate] Felix Sater.” He replied, “I don’t know if they’re connected to Felix Sater or they knew Felix. He was involved as a broker. I don’t know if he’s a principal. I wasn’t involved.”

5. Trump Jr. was also asked whether he was aware of Cohen’s attempts to contact a Kremlin representative before those attempts were reported on in the media. He replied, “No, I was not.”

They can collude on a semi-fictional tell-all called "From the Penthouse to the Big House, by way of the White House," which will go straight to the remainder bins.
