Trump Jr.’s and Sr.’s and other White House staff’s stories
surrounding the June 16 meeting at the
Trump tower has changed as new facts come out.
People can only lie about things for so long until the attempt to deceive
becomes apparent.
On July 8, 2017, Jr. said the meeting was primarily about adoption
of Russian children.
On July 9, after finding out that the New York Times knew
about the hunt for dirt on Clinton, Donald Jr. said the purpose of the meeting
was to get information that “might be
helpful to the campaign.”
On July 12th the White House released a statement by Donald
Jr. about the meeting. One of Trump’s
lawyers said the President was not involved in writing the memo.
On Aug. 1, White House Press. Sec. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said
the President ‘weighed in’ on the content of the statement.
On Jan 29, 2018 two of the President’s lawyers said Trump
dictated the statement.
Of course, others also lied about the incident.
