Hillary Clinton isn’t buying Donald Trump Jr.’s latest explanation for meeting a Kremlin-connected lawyer during the presidential campaign.
“It’s ridiculous,” Clinton said on NBC’s “Today” Wednesday. “It’s another absurd lie to cover up what really was going on, which I hope we uncover and understand.”
The June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a lawyer with ties to the Kremlin, was pitched to Trump Jr. as an opportunity to receive damaging information about Clinton as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”
After originally asserting the meeting was about policies related to Americans’ adoption of Russian children, Trump Jr. eventually released the emails arranging the meeting where he said he’d “love” dirt on Clinton. President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort were also in attendance at the meeting.
The meeting is now under investigation by multiple congressional committees and special counsel Robert Mueller. Trump Jr. has maintained that no usable information came out of the meeting, but told Senate investigators he would have sought legal advice before acting on anything provided.
“To the extent they had information concerning the fitness, character or qualifications of a presidential candidate, I believed that I should at least hear them out,” Trump Jr. said, in a statement obtained by the New York Times. “Depending on what, if any, information they had, I could then consult with counsel to make an informed decision as to whether to give it further consideration.”
Clinton said in an interview with USA Today Monday she’s “convinced” there was collusion between Trump associates and Russia.

This is what happens when you don’t lock her up.
Hillary lost the Rose Law Firm records for years. Turns out they were on a table in her hallway.
But that’s believable.
Well if anyone knows about absurd lies..........
Can you imagine outrage on the left if there were mysterious and conveniently timed deaths in Trump wake the way there is in Clinton’s?
Yeah everybody is lying except Hillary, except for example about that YouTube video which had nothing to do with the Benghazi attack but she lied to the nation and the world about it.
Maybe she is threatening to have all Russians killed to prevent them from giving information about her.
This woman has no moral or ethical standing to accuse anyone of wrong-doing.
Don Jr. has more common sense than Hillary Clinton.
Hillary, I’d lay off that line if I were you. If he wanted to, Don Jr. would figuratively cut you off at the knees.
Why doesn’t Hillary apologize to the women who were abused by her husband and then targeted by her for personal destruction.
That would be a change.
AG Sessions...come out of your corner!!
Daddy Trump is holding back on her, she’s on thin ice messing with his kids.
Hillary, let’s review your work in Haiti.
Where did all the Clinton Fund money go?
How much did Lockheed give you when Jim Comey was general counsel there?
The truth always strikes Hillary as absurd and ridiculous.
...says the uncontested Queen of Lies.
Well when it comes to LYING Hitlary Clinton wins first prize
Exactly. Sessions has to go after her and hopefully shut her up for good. I don’t understand how Pres. Trump is allowing this shrew to go on and on disparaging him. Take her out.
Pretty sure we could publish a 500 page tome containing Hillary’s “absurd lies”.
Jeff Sessions needs to man up and investigate the Clinton Foundation. Otherwise, he needs to get out of the way.
Obama has started a foundation. We need to get control of these corrupt sleazebags.
Yes, I agree, and Don Jr. will blast her back for sure.
