BRIDGEWATER, N.J. President Trump on Sunday offered his most definitive and clear public acknowledgment that his oldest son met with a Kremlin-aligned lawyer at Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign to get information on an opponent, defending the meeting as totally legal and done all the time in politics.
It is, however, against the law for U.S. campaigns to receive donations or items of value from foreigners, and that June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Natalia Veselnitskaya is now a subject of special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs Russia probe.
While collusion is not mentioned in U.S. criminal statutes, Mueller is investigating whether anyone associated with Trump coordinated with the Russians, which could result in criminal charges if they entered into a conspiracy to break the law, including through cyber-hacking or interfering with the election.
Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower, the president wrote in one of several early morning tweets Sunday, many of which took aim at the media. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics and it went nowhere.

Trumpy keeps changing his story.

(12,344 posts)Fake news reports I said nothing came out of the meeting. I did get information on Clinton's totally illegal actions, but I didn't pay for it, so it's totally legal. Why doesn't the fake news report that Clinton gave me the information herself? Sad!
And,
DOJ should investigate Clinton illegally selling dirt on herself to the Russians. Pixie Jeff, do your job!

(16,794 posts)Now that the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting is back in the news cycle. What did Trump know and when did he know it?
Who needs a sit down with Robert Mueller when Trump continues to spill his guts out on Twitter that Mueller reads each day?
