WASHINGTON Before arranging a meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer he believed would offer him compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his fathers candidacy, according to three people with knowledge of the email.
The email to the younger Mr. Trump was sent by Rob Goldstone, a publicist and former British tabloid reporter who helped broker the June 2016 meeting. In a statement on Sunday, Mr. Trump acknowledged that he was interested in receiving damaging information about Mrs. Clinton, but gave no indication that he thought the lawyer might have been a Kremlin proxy.
Mr. Goldstones message, as described to The New York Times by the three people, indicates that the Russian government was the source of the potentially damaging information. It does not elaborate on the wider effort by Moscow to help the Trump campaign.
There is no evidence to suggest that the promised damaging information was related to Russian government computer hacking that led to the release of thousands of Democratic National Committee emails. The meeting took place less than a week before it was widely reported that Russian hackers had infiltrated the committees servers.

If I was that Russian Lawyer I would watch my back. She could get Arkancide.
TRUMP has a damn RAT in his group!!
Is there a law against accepting opposition research from anyone — individual or govt agent?
Come on now, we all know its against the law to speak with a Russian, unless of course that Russian might be a Prostitute that peed on a bed.
All e-mails have totally valid information, always.
I know. I got one yesterday from Nigeria, promising to pay me $40,000. I’ve already picked out my Lexus.
Suppose they are right and Trump worked with Putin to save America from the Satanic, pedophile-protecting, pro-Islamist, anti-American, anti-freedom Democrat Party. Would that have been a bad thing? Trump and Putin are Christians who are each dedicated to the preservation of Christendom. Whatever they decided to do to accomplish that goal should be applauded, not prosecuted.
The Five were spreading it too.
“The Five were spreading it too.”
What? The Five other than Juan saw it for what it was-—Bullshit. And Perino is a Never-Trump that knows its Bullshit, but hey it can be used to hurt the man that took down her darling Jeb.
So by June 2016, the whole political establishment were pooping their panties over the possibility that Donald J. Trump could beat the wicked witch of the west.
um...so?
Of course there are four authors. One had to write the story and fake the e-mail while the other three had to “have knowledge about the e-mail.” It all works in the world of jer nal ism.
Clinton is special.
Putinized
Wow. Now I’m watching Hannity and he is spreading it too. Just stop talking about it.
Changa to British = golden showers = joy in fakenewsistan.
The media is well into the boy who cried wolf territory. They’re getting zero traction with anyone outside the political class.
A person being Russian does not make them evil and does not make interacting with them evil.
“It does not elaborate on the wider effort by Moscow to help the Trump campaign.”
Notice how they place this in as if a statement of established fact.
Clintons met with and took money from actual Chinese communist party officials.
