The New York Times went head-to-head with Donald Trump Jr. Tuesday morning, and Hollywood was quick to react.
It all began when the President's son decided to share the actual emails between himself, Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, leading up to a meeting the trio had with a Russian lawyer, allegedly initiated to get dirt on Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential election.
Trump Jr. tweeted out the email chain just minutes before the Times, who broke the story over the weekend, was going to release more details about the email interaction between the Trump team and the intermediary between them and the Russian lawyer.

View StoryThe emails revealed that Trump Jr. was told by the trusted intermediary that the lawyer would hand over information that would "incriminate Hillary," to which he responded, "if it's what you say I love it." Trump's contact, however, also wrote, "This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump."
Hollywood quickly took to Twitter in response to the latest bombshell report on possible collusion between Trump's team and the Russian government to win the 2016 election.
