BREAKING: AP article confirms Trump was at Trump Tower the afternoon of June 9, 2016...

...and was only away during lunch.




Amid fundraising worries, Trump gathers potential donors

JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press

June 9, 2016
NEW YORK (AP) — Presumptive GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday summoned allies and Republican Party heavyweights to kick off a general election fund-raising operation and push back against the notion that his late-starting cash collecting would be outgunned by Hillary Clinton's.

"We'll raise what we need to raise," Paul Manafort, the campaign's chief strategist, told reporters after a lunch meeting. He suggested that the money needed to win the race is "not as much as people think."

"We have enough to win," Manafort said.

Trump loved to boast during the primaries that he was self-funding his campaign — though he also did accept donations — and he poured in more than $40 million of his own money into the bare-bones campaign. The move to an expensive, national general election campaign, however, requires a far bigger operation, so the Trump campaign signed a joint-fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee last month.

But the Trump campaign has been slow to raise money, only scheduling a few fundraisers. He had previously said he wanted to raise $1 billion for the battle against Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, but this week said he would be aiming to raise far less.

...info on other meetings/calls he had that day and how much interaction he had with Kushner, Manafort and Jr.

I've no doubt the CIA and FBI already have all this...and more.
