"White House: Trump Jr. had ‘legitimate reason’ to refuse to discuss conversation with president"
"Donald Trump Jr. had a “legitimate reason” while testifying before lawmakers to decline to discuss a conversation with his father by citing attorney-client privilege, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday."
"Trump Jr. declined to tell members of the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday about a conversation with President Donald Trump over the summer after news broke that Trump’s eldest son had met with Russian-linked contacts in Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential race."
"Though neither the president nor his son is an attorney, Trump Jr. told congressional investigators that the discussion was subject to attorney-client privilege because there was a lawyer in the room"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't attorney-client privileges apply to the need to keep conversations between an attorney and his client secret? And the questions asked were in reference to the son's conversations with his father, which last I knew, neither one is an attorney. This is right up there with the claim the President can't obstruct justice
Also points out that the House investigating committee has no real interest in examining Russian influence in the election, no legitimate investigating entity would let that pass, they are more interesting in getting their endless Hillary conspiracies air time. Mueller's is the only real investigation
