Trump crafted misleading statement for Don Jr one day after speaking with Putin about adoption [View all]

President Donald Trump personally “dictated” a misleading statement about his son’s meeting with a Russian lawyer — allegedly to discuss adoption rules — one day after discussing the same issue with Vladimir Putin.

Trump himself confirmed that he had discussed the topic during one of their previously undisclosed meetings July 7 during the summit, during a wide-ranging New York Times interview, reported Business Insider.

“The meal was going toward dessert,” Trump told the newspaper. “I went down just to say hello to Melania, and while I was there I said hello to Putin. Really, pleasantries more than anything else. It was not a long conversation, but it was, you know, could be 15 minutes — just talked about things. Actually, it was very interesting, we talked about adoption.”

next day he dictates a response for Prince Donnie Jr. that says the same thing Pootey told him to say. coinkydink.
