This weekend the New York Times published a pretty big story about a previously undisclosed meeting between members of Donald Trump’s campaign and a Russian lawyer with ties to the Kremlin. The meeting took place shortly after Trump had clinched the Republican presidential nomination and Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr. were in attendance, along with then-campaign chief Paul Manafort. The NYT noted that both Kushner and Trump Jr. confirmed the meeting took place, linking it to Russian adoption.
During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said that the meeting was a “nothingburger” for the Trump team while suggesting it could have been an attempt by Democrats to set up the Trump campaign, linking it to the infamous Steele dossier.
