Donald Trump Jr calls out 'The View' host Sunny Hostin for getting paid by network that 'protected' Epstein
The fight is not over between Donald Trump Jr and 'The View' host Sunny Hostin. While dueling over Don Jr's decision to tweet the Ukrainian whistleblower's name on the ABC daytime show, Hostin had claimed that his actions were a "federal crime". However, he had defended his action on the show and later tweeted a link to an article refuting Hostin's legal take, saying that Hostin should ask for a refund for her law degree. Hostin, a lawyer, is the senior legal correspondent for ABC News, along with co-hosting 'The View'.
Hostin replied with her own tweet that asked if Don Jr also thought what he did "at the Trump foundation was legal?" drawing attention to how the Trump foundation funds had been misused to further the personal, political and business interests of the Trump family.
Not one to back down, he tweeted the latest salvo in the Twitter war on November 9: "What's it like to draw a paycheck from a network that not only protected pedophile-rapist Jeffery Epstein but then retaliated against the courageous female whistleblower". His tweet refers to the controversy around anchor Amy Robach's "hot mic" revelation that ABC News killed the Jeffrey Epstein story three years ago even though she had his "underage sex slave", Virginia Roberts, on record with incriminating photographs and documents.
On November 3, Project Veritas had published a video it obtained of ABC News anchor Amy Robach in a discussion with her producer about the nixed story back in August, venting: "I've had this interview for years. I've had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air." The producer who was fired for "leaking" Amy Robach's rant about the network killing the story has claimed she is innocent during an interview with Megyn Kelly.
