Man, the shade in this video. You thought the #GuptaLeaks was something, but this is on some other level. For some time now, there have been rumours that Russia meddled in the American Presidential elections.

All this time, there has been denial. Earlier this week, though, the New York Times reported that it is aware of a meeting between Trump Jr and a Russian lawyer who promised him damaging information about Hilary Clinton.

Then, on Tuesday, Trump Jr went ahead and Tweeted those emails… “for transparency”… seemingly not realising that it now implicates him.

The (freelance) journalist who broke the story couldn’t believe it.

It’s quite something. It sort of be like Duduzane Zuma Tweeting all the comms between him and Guptas. Sorta.

Anyway. To get your head around this, here is Trevor Noah with some epic shade.

Can you even with this story? Trump Jr denies that his father knew anything of the meeting. He told Fox News that he did not bother to brief his father on his encounter with Natalia Veselnitskaya as it had been a “waste” of time — but wished he had handled things differently in hindsight.

But wait! He further went on to admit that he was hoping to learn damaging information about Clinton, calling it “opposition research”.

Woah.
