The meeting was also attended by Trump's campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Manafort and Kushner only recently disclosed the meeting, though not its content, in confidential government documents described to The New York Times.
The meeting, which took place at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, two weeks after Trump clinched the Republican nomination, points to the central question in federal investigations of the Kremlin’s 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.

In a statement on Sunday, Donald Trump Jr. said he had met with the Russian lawyer at the request of an acquaintance.
“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 Ms. 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 law enraged Russian President Vladimir Putin that he retaliated by halting 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,” Trump's son said.

January 20, 2025: As president-elect Mike Pence is sworn in by chief justice Ted Cruz, watched by the entire Trump family, the New York Times reports that Kellyanne Conway has been seen using Russian dressing during the 2016 campaign at the Des Moines Marriott.
They lie about Russian collusion.
The fake news media’s desperate efforts to portray Trump as a Kremlin stooge have plumbed to a new low.
This is their only real talking point. Putin helped to elect Trump!
Risible nonsense debunked with five minutes of sleuthing.
LOL, so, more fake news?
I’m just going to assume it’s 100% true.
So what.
On election night I didn’t have a clue who to vote for . . . until ole Vlad called me up and told me to pull the lever for his buddy Trump!
Meanwhile, has ANYONE asked how the Donald Trump/Access Hollywood tape landed in the Clinton campaigns hands..did they collude with NBC to release it in October to achieve the maximum damage
Let’s be honest. EVERYTHING about the idiotess who boinked bubba in order to gain status and position is damaging.
The woman has no talent in anything save for being perhaps the most disgusting presidential wife evah!
Do ya think?

Was that what he was saying? My Russian is pretty meager. I thought he was threatening to put me in a Judo choke hold if I didn’t give him my wallet.
Consider the source
I don’t think The Clenis had status or position when she started boinking him.
And...? THIS is supposed to be a big deal?
This is the final push by the deepstate. If they’re going to manufacture evidence it’s going to happen now.
LOL, so, more fake news?
Nah, this is going to blow up in the Dems face exploding cigar style since this “meeting” was organized by the Democrats involved with the “Steele Dossier”.
So what. Suppose the Russians had met with Hillary’s people to provide negative info on Trump. The MSM would have considered that a valuable service to the American people.
The very FIRST reports of this meeting said it concerned ADOPTIONS of Russian Children by Americans!!!!
There is absolutely nothing illegal about Russia providing information it may have in it’s possession.
The media shot the horse dead. They beat it anyway. They’ve been kicking it for months. Now they’re trying to give it artificial respiration.
The horse is dead. Long live the horse...

This one is different and big. I agree with the Breitbart article on this. TIt was the Russkies who were colluding with the Democrats (same ones who did the “dossier”) to frame Trump, IMO.
