Two weeks after Donald J. Trump clinched the Republican presidential nomination last year, his eldest son arranged a meeting at Trump Tower in Manhattan with a Russian lawyer who has connections to the Kremlin, according to confidential government records described to The New York Times.
The previously undisclosed meeting was also attended by Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman at the time, Paul J. Manafort, as well as the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to interviews and the documents, which were outlined by people familiar with them.
While President Trump has been dogged by revelations of undisclosed meetings between his associates and Russians, this episode at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, is the first confirmed private meeting between a Russian national and members of Mr. Trump’s inner circle during the campaign. It is also the first time that his son Donald J. Trump Jr. is known to have been involved in such a meeting.
Representatives of Donald J. Trump Jr. and Mr. Kushner confirmed the meeting after The Times approached them with information about it. In a statement, Donald Jr described the meeting as primarily about an adoption program. The statement did not address whether the presidential campaign was discussed.

Oh, my Lord, they’re still trying this. Unbelievable.
Barack Hussein Obama got his start in politics thanks to a domestic terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and pledged support to the North Vietnamese in a time of war.
ESNYT
they create a false story about russian collusion, and then report about the reports. after a few months of that, they report that the administration has been “dogged” by reports that didn’t exist until they created them.
No mention of Crooked Hillary’s connections to Russia?
I met Santa many moons ago with kids.
The Clinton team “colluded” constantly with Podesta.
