Trump Jr.: If ‘weaker’ Republicans only call for certain witnesses, ‘they don’t deserve to be in office’

President Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr. said Sunday that “weaker” Senate Republicans should go on record about whether they are only willing to hear from witnesses requested by Democrats in President Trump’s impeachment trial.

“The, let’s call it weaker Republicans … make a vote on it, if some of those guys don’t want to hear from the witnesses we’d want to hear from but will hear from the others, I want to know about it, because they don’t deserve to be in office,” Trump Jr. said Sunday on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“Hearing from everyone is totally fair. That’s not what we’ve heard so far while the Democrats have controlled the process,” he added.

Numerous Senate Republicans have said that if witnesses are called in the trial, the witness list should include both those requested by Democrats, who include Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former national security adviser John Bolton, and those requested by Republicans, including former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Trump Jr. also responded to recent communications involving Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani who was indicted last year on campaign finance charges, in which Trump Jr.’s name is mentioned.

“I met him at some fundraising events…. I didn’t even realize he was Ukrainian, I thought he was Israeli,” the younger Trump said. “That’s the problem with how this world works, you take a couple pictures with someone, if someone’s a donor, they get in line, they stood at a dinner with 50 people.”

“I guarantee my father couldn’t pick this guy out of a lineup, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t taken pictures with him,” Trump Jr. added.
