Trump may have let something slip about the Russian lawyer from the Trump Tower meeting

"SNIP.........


At a rowdy rally Saturday night, President Donald Trump commented for the first time about the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya's revelation that she is an "informant" for the Russian government.

Veselnitskaya was one of the key players in a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Russian lobbyists and top Trump campaign officials.

Trump suggested that Veselnitskaya said she was a Kremlin informant because Russian President Vladimir Putin told her to do so in order to stoke the Trump-Russia controversy.

Trump has not previously acknowledged a possible relationship between Veselnitskaya and Putin

While he was trying to explain away and dismiss her admission of being a Kremlin informant, at the same time Trump acknowledged that she made the admission on Putin's direction!

Just another factoid for team Mueller. If Trump keeps going,at this pace,he will be his own Impeachment Team.
