Trump Jr. asked Russian lawyer for evidence of illegal Clinton Foundation donations: report
By Brandon Carter - 12/05/17 05:22 PM EST
During a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower, Donald Trump Jr. asked Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya for evidence of illegal donations to the Clinton Foundation, according to a new report.
NBC News reports that Veselnitskaya told the Senate Judiciary Committee about Trump Jr.’s request. She told the committee in written answers to questions that she had no evidence of illegal donations, and that when she told Trump Jr. that, he became uninterested in the meeting.
"Today, I understand why it took place to begin with and why it ended so quickly with a feeling of mutual disappointment and time wasted," Veselnitskaya wrote, according to NBC News. "The answer lies in the roguish letters of Mr. Goldstone."

So what? If such evidence existed and he was told someone had it, asking to see it would be the right thing to do.
Offering to alter US law in exchange would not. Nobody has ever made any claim of an offer or exchange for it.
