Dear @DonaldJTrumpJr our offer of being ambassador to the US still stands. I could open a hotel style embassy in DC with luxury immunity suites for whistleblowers. The public will get a turbo-charged flow of intel about the latest CIA plots to undermine democracy. DM me.#vault8 — Julian Assange (@JulianAssange) November 14, 2017

Trump Jr. has given his private Twitter correspondences with WikiLeaks over to lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. Some of those correspondences leaked to the Atlantic on Monday, so Trump Jr. released them on Twitter.

Trump Jr. did not respond to most of the messages from WikiLeaks, but the contact has only added to the scrutiny surrounding the Trump campaign and possible ties to Russia.

The U.S. intelligence community earlier this year stated with "high confidence" that members of Russia's military intelligence service hacked the Democratic emails and then gave them to WikiLeaks. Assange has repeatedly denied that charge.

Trump Jr. has also come under scrutiny for a meeting he had last summer with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information about Clinton.

The meeting was also attended by Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman who has been indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller, and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. In one of the emails that led up to the meeting, an intermediary said the "sensitive information" being offered was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump."
