As fired FBI Director James Comey delivered dramatic testimony to the Senate intelligence committee on Thursday, President Trump was silent on Twitter. He was reportedly watching at the White House with his legal team and close advisers.

But his son, Donald Trump Jr., took up the mantle in his stead, furiously live-tweeting in defense of his father and hitting back at Comey’s testimony recounting several interactions with the president he considered inappropriate. By noon, Trump Jr. had tweeted 30 times, including retweets from other accounts.
