Donald Trump Jr.’s ‘entire chain of messages’ with WikiLeaks

• During the 2016 election, Donald Trump Jr. was in touch with WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy website that published wave after wave of damning information on Hillary Clinton’s campaign from hacked emails.
• The Atlantic reported on the messages Monday, in which WikiLeaks repeatedly encouraged Trump Jr. to promote its hacked and leaked information.
• Trump Jr. reportedly told high-level Trump campaign officials – including Kellyanne Conway, Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, and Hope Hicks – that WikiLeaks had contacted him.
• On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump said multiple times that he “loved” WikiLeaks, as well as the hacked material it was publishing about Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.
• While Trump Jr. didn’t respond to a message from WikiLeaks on October 12, 2016, Trump tweeted about the group less than an hour later.
• Trump Jr. is under scrutiny by Robert Mueller, the special counsel in the Russia investigation, according to NBC News, in part because he did not disclose all of his contacts with Kremlin-linked people.
• In the messages, WikiLeaks also asked Trump Jr. to have Trump persuade Australia to nominate the website’s founder, Julian Assange, as US ambassador.
• On Monday night, Trump Jr. released what he said was the “entire chain of messages” between him and WikiLeaks.

Here are the messages with WikiLeaks that Trump Jr. released, and the tweet from Trump:
