The Russia Scandal Catches Up With Trump Even As He Hides Behind Hurricane Harvey

The news that Donald Trump Jr. will give a transcribed interview to the Senate Judiciary Committee serves as a reminder that while Trump tries to play president in Texas, the Russia scandal still caught up to him.

While Trump was playing president in Texas:

While Trump was in Texas, his son made a deal to appear before the Senate, “President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has agreed to sit down for a transcribed interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee, as investigators continue to dig into his attendance at a 2016 meeting where he was promised Russian dirt on the Clinton campaign.”

Trump can run the whole to Texas. His administration can act like the storm is the big distraction that they can use to pardon racists and ban transgender persons from the military, and no one will notice, but reality is never far behind Trump. The Russia scandal is always there. It is a shadow that follows this president everywhere.

The fact that his son will be interviewed by the same Senate Judiciary Republicans who are trying to destroy the Russia investigation should not be overlooked, but even on a day when the White House thought that they could generate positive news by sending Trump to Texas, the Russia scandal took over the headlines.

Trump can’t change the subject.

Where ever he goes, the Russia scandal follows.
