Trump’s Son Met With Russian Lawyer After Being Promised Damaging Information on Clinton

By JO BECKER, MATT APUZZO and ADAM GOLDMANJULY 9, 2017

President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before agreeing to meet with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign, according to three advisers to the White House briefed on the meeting and two others with knowledge of it.

The meeting was also attended by his campaign chairman at the time, Paul J. Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Mr. Manafort and Mr. Kushner only recently disclosed the meeting, though not its content, in confidential government documents described to The New York Times.

The Times reported the existence of the meeting on Saturday. But in subsequent interviews, the advisers and others revealed the motivation behind it.

THE PLOT THICKENS=> Russian Lawyer Who Met with Trump Team Denied US Visa, Entered with Special Permission

“I was detained for two hours by Heathrow Airport officials who specifically targeted me on the basis of the parole number that the United States Government had assigned to me. During this detention I was unjustifiably subjected to a strip search, for no apparent reason. I should not be subjected to such humiliation when I have been promised entry into the United States to defend against the scandalous accusations in this lawsuit on behalf of my clients.”

   Quite a step up from the other Trump Son Lawyer, Jamie Gorlick:

Donald Trump Jr. has confirmed the meeting, and originally said they had talked just about adoptions.  Then when the evidence was presented that he was caught lying, he admitted more.

But on Sunday, presented with The Times’s findings, he offered a new account. In a statement, he said he had met with the Russian lawyer at the request of an acquaintance from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, which his father took to Moscow. “After pleasantries were exchanged,” he said, “the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.”

He said she then turned the conversation to adoption of Russian children and the Magnitsky Act, an American law that blacklists suspected Russian human rights abusers. The 2012 law so enraged President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia that he halted American adoptions of Russian children.

“It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting,” Mr. Trump said.

So if his statement is true, then in a way, they mostly just talked about adoptions.

Awesome. Another nothing story about Russia. No one cares anymore.

Once he discovered no damaging information was forthcoming, Patrick Bateman - a.k.a. Donald Trump, Jr - abruptly ended the meeting by saying, "I've got to return some videotapes."
