Report Says RNC Delegate Was Told Trump Requested Russia-Friendly Platform Tweak
Diana Denman, a Republican delegate who supported arming U.S. allies in Ukraine, has told people that Trump aide J.D. Gordon said at the Republican Convention in 2016 that Trump directed him to support weakening that position in the official platform. … Denman has told people she spoke with Gordon, a national security aide on the Trump campaign, at the Republican convention in Cleveland last year. Gordon identified himself as a representative with the Trump campaign and informed her he had phoned “New York” about the Ukraine proposal, in Denman’s account.
She followed up by asking with whom Gordon had spoken. And, more than once, Gordon replied he had discussed the issue with Trump.
Gordon denies it. But Denman is apparently going to tell her side of the story soon to House and Senate investigators—and, one presumes, to Robert Mueller (if she hasn’t already)
