Trump Jr. sought to downplay the results of the Mueller investigation when asked about the plea deals and indictments of Trump associates that have resulted from the probe.
"I understand that they are trying to get my father, and they'll do anything they can to get that," he told ABC News.
The President's eldest son also said the investigation "has been very difficult" for him personally, but he has been able to compartmentalize it, according to ABC News.
"And in the end, I know what I've done," he added, "and I'm not worried about that at all, because you know, I've done nothing that anyone else wouldn't do in that position, in my opinion."
According to ABC News, Trump Jr. also said that "there will never be a conclusive end" to the investigation, suggesting that Democrats would try to use the probe "as a permanent asterisk on my father's record" and to "sway" the upcoming midterms and the 2020 election.
Trump Jr. told ABC News that he believes "without question" that Democrats will attempt to impeach his father if his base does not turn out in the midterm elections to keep Congress under Republican control, echoing remarks the President made at a rally in Montana last week.
