'In retrospect, I probably would have done things a little differently'

By Eli Watkins, CNN
Updated 8:10 PM ET, Tue July 11, 2017

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump Jr. said on Tuesday evening that looking back, he probably would have done things differently when presented with the prospect of getting information from Russia ...

He argued that the exchange happened prior to Russian involvement becoming a major story during the campaign season so his alarm "sirens" didn't sound when he was told of a Russian effort to help his father's candidacy ...

... just moments after Trump Jr. tweeted the emails, The New York Times published them. A deputy managing editor at the Times said Trump Jr. posted the emails after being told the Times had them.
