Snip
Donald Trump Jr. has made a potentially damaging New York Times report much, much worse.
The Times on Sunday reported that the president's eldest son was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in New York on June 9, 2016.
As Times reporters Jo Becker, Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman explained, Trump Jr.s motivation for agreeing to the meeting points to the central question in federal investigations of the Kremlins meddling in the presidential election: whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. The accounts of the meeting represent the first public indication that at least some in the campaign were willing to accept Russian help.
Paul Manafort, the campaigns chairman at the time, and Jared Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law and adviser, also attended.
