I did not know about it!” Trump tweeted on Sunday. “This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics – and it went nowhere. On Sunday, the President offered his most direct acknowledgment to date that his son, along with campaign chairman Paul Manafort and son-in-law Jared Kushner, met with a Russian lawyer to get damaging information on Clinton. The meeting, which occurred at Trump Tower in Manhattan, has been partially the subject of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether or not members of Trump’s team colluded with Russians. They will do anything they can to try to stop that, to try to block that, to try to prevent that from happening.” A Russian lawyer tells NBCs Today show that she was summoned to Trump Tower during last years presidential campaign to meet with Donald Trump Jr. “That is, I guess, the ultimate distraction from what’s really going on in this country which is, you have a Republican president, a very conservative president, who is getting stuff done,” Trump Jr. meets with Russian lawyer at Trump Tower. The upshot: substantial misrepresentations of what the special counsel’s Russia investigation actually found.
#DONALD TRUMP JR TWITTER RUSSIAN COLLUSION SERIES#
He decried media scrutiny surrounding the episode, saying it was an attempt to deter attention from his father’s accomplishments. WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - President Trump took to Twitter early Sunday. WASHINGTON (AP) The no-collusion chorus sang loudly this past week, with President Donald Trump in full-throated roar and even Russian President Vladimir Putin chiming in. In one of a series of early-morning tweets, Trump addressed a meeting that his son Donald, Jr., held with a Russian lawyer affiliated with the Russian government. RELATED: President urged to stop tweeting on Trump Tower meeting “You know that’s not the premise that got them in the room and then they started it was essentially a bait and switch to talk about that, and everyone has basically said that in testimony already.” There was tremendous collusion on behalf of the Russians and the Democrats, Trump said when asked about the ongoing investigation led by former FBI director Robert Mueller into Russian. “(Adoptions) was the primary thing that we had spoken about in the meeting,” Trump Jr. said the session lasted 20 minutes, and maintained the central focus was on adoptions - even as he conceded the Clinton dirt was how the Russian lawyers secured the meeting in the first place.
