Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have always been their father’s biggest supporters. And now that Donald Trump is in big legal trouble, they’re of course going to double down. The Daily Beast reported that Don Jr. called this case “Communist-level bulls***” and that Eric told Fox News this is the result of “the weaponization of politics” and that his dad “at some point … deserves a pass.”
And they’re not slowing down, sharing how proud they are of Trump on Twitter, and Don Jr. sharing a petition to “defend the Constitution and stop the political persecution” of Trump. They and Trump’s team are worried about a potential gag order the court might put on the former president. As Vice reported, this would mean he can’t speak about anything involving the case or his insistence that he’s innocent. If he does talk, it could send him straight to jail. Don Jr. said in a video that this “feels like a violation not just of your 1st Amendment, but of your 5th Amendment, and probably a bunch of other Amendments!”

According to The Independent, Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, visited him a couple of days before he went to New York and posted a simple statement on Instagram. “I love my father and I love my country. Today I am pained for both… I appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern,” she wrote.
