First son Donald Trump, Jr. (screengrab)
Donald Trump Jr. shared his father's criminal denials on Twitter, which has banned the twice-impeached one-term president over his election lies that led to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
New York attorney general Letitia James' office announced its investigation of Trump Organization was now criminal, as well as civil, and the former president lashed out in a lengthy statement from the blog in social media exile, which his namesake son tweeted out.
Other social media users mocked -- and fact-checked -- Trump Jr.'s attempt to get his father's message out.

Not everything is political, Jr. Perhaps don't break the law and the types of things wouldn't happen to you. It's a pretty easy concept.— Jess Balzer (@Jess Balzer) 1621442232
If you didn\u2019t want to be the target of criminal investigations, you shouldn\u2019t have engaged in shady or criminal activities.— ChirpyTopiary (@ChirpyTopiary) 1621441711

Oh this is a hoot! The former guy sounds pretty scared. And he should be. Years of criminal activity finally coming to light. Or, as they say, the chickens coming home to roost. I predict indictments very soon. Hope it is all televised too— suzyaz (@suzyaz) 1621444151
