Donald Trump |
You may remember that when the story broke about Don Trump Jr. meeting with a Russian government attorney at Trump Tower during the 2016 elections, Donald Trump described the meeting as a short introductory meeting discussing a program about the adoption of Russian children that was popular with American families years ago but had been stopped by the Russian government.
Trump Jr. said the meeting was not campaign-related in any way.
And then his emails were made public and the world found out he'd lied.
Sunday morning, the president confirmed (seemingly by accident) that Junior's meeting was, in fact, a confab about getting dirt from Russian agents about Hillary Clinton, which, by the way, is illegal.
Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!— Donald J.

oops you just admitted it was collusion! https://t.co/vTIEM2d3hS— Topher Spiro (@TopherSpiro) August 5, 2018
POTUS deep-sixes the “adoption” lie. Collusion is fine and everyone does it. https://t.co/Pg0IIq6MBm— Nick Confessore (@nickconfessore) August 5, 2018

We are going to be hearing about this tweet a whole lot for a long time. As well as whatever insane nonsense Rudy comes up with to explain it. https://t.co/4UlhnAPYhz
