In response to the New York Times' report on the meeting Trump Jr. had last summer, the eldest son of the president released the email chain on his Twitter account. The Twitter post came after he heard that NYT was going to release the same emails. 

Trump Jr. included a statement along with the posted emails, explaining that he wanted to be "totally transparent" when it came to the email correspondence he had with Goldstone.

"The information they suggested they had about Hillary Clinton I thought was Political Opposition Research," stated Trump Jr. on his Twitter handle.

"And, as we have said, she had no information to provide and wanted to talk about adoption policy and the Magnitsky Act. To put this in context, this occurred before the current Russian fever was in vogue."
