The July 8 statement by Trump Jr. became controversial in its own right because of conflicting stories about who had written it. On July 11 it was reported that the statement had been drafted by presidential advisers aboard Air Force One on the way home from the G20 summit in Germany, and that it had been approved by President Trump.[63][64] On July 12 Trump's lawyer Jay Sekulow insisted that it had been written by Trump Jr. in consultation with his lawyer, and that Donald Trump "wasn't involved in that".[65][66] He repeated these statements on July 16.[67] On July 31 The Washington Post reported that Trump had indeed personally dictated, worked on, and released the statement in Trump Jr's name, with claims that "were later shown to be misleading".[64] According to The Post, Trump had "overruled the consensus" of Trump Jr., Kushner, aides, and lawyers, who favored issuing a transparent account "because they believed the complete story would eventually emerge." Some advisors reportedly feared "that the president’s direct involvement leaves him needlessly vulnerable to allegations of a coverup."[64][66][68] The next day, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders stated that Trump "certainly didn't dictate, but ... he weighed in, offered suggestions, like any father would do".[69] In January 2018, in a confidential letter from Trump's legal team to special counsel Robert Mueller, Trump's lawyers acknowledged for the first time that Trump had in fact dictated the first statement put out about the meeting in Trump Jr.'s name, thus contradicting prior representations.[70]
Although Goldstone's emails described Veselnitskaya as a "Russian government attorney",[19] Scott Balber, formerly a lawyer for Trump and now for Agalarov, said in a July 14, 2017 interview that she had no association with the Russian government.[71] For his part, Akhmetshin denied having ties to Russian intelligence, and said that the efforts by Veselnitskaya and himself "were not coordinated with the Russian government."[33] Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the government didn't know Akhmetshin or Veselnitskaya, or anything about the meeting.[72][73] In a November 2017 statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Veselnitskaya said "I have no relationship with Mr. Chaika, his representatives and his institutions other than those related to my professional functions as a lawyer."[21] However she also stated in April 2018: “I am a lawyer, and I am an informant,” adding that "since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general," Yury Chaika.[21]
CNN reported on October 9 that Balber had obtained the memo which Veselnitskaya took to the meeting,[74] and it was released by Foreign Policy.[75] It should be noted, though, that Veselnitskaya was Balber's only source for the document, as well as the only source of the claim that this is the same document that was brought to the Trump Tower meeting;[74] this matters because Veselnitskaya has elsewhere been indicted on charges of falsifying the origin of another document which she helped draft and release to US investigators in a separate investigation which is also related to William Browder and the Magnitsky Act.[76] The memo released by Veselnitskaya claimed that an American firm, Ziff Brothers Investments, illegally evaded tens of millions of dollars in Russian taxes, and contributed to Clinton's election campaign. Veselnitskaya reportedly coordinated this accusation in advance with Chaika, and Putin later repeated the charge.[77]
Two previously undisclosed emails from Rob Goldstone emerged on December 7, as discovered by congressional investigators. The recipients included Trump Jr., Kushner, and Manafort. In a June 14, 2016 email, five days after the meeting, Goldstone forwarded a news story about Russian hacking of Democrats' emails, describing the news as "eerily weird" in light of what had been discussed at Trump Tower.[78] This discovery contradicted the initial statement by Trump Jr. that "there was no follow up" after the meeting,[2] as well as his September 2017 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in which he stated: "Rob, Emin and I never discussed the meeting again".[78]
On May 16, 2018, the Senate Judiciary Committee released emails and text messages in which Trump attorney Alan S. Futerfas provided a prepared statement for Goldstone, Agalarov and Kaveladze, further asserting that it "would be our preference" if they did not say anything else in response to inquiries about the meeting.[79][80]
Michael Cohen asserted in July 2018 that the president knew of the Tower meeting in advance.[81]
You should send that to Mueller. He must have missed it.
Funny thing is. The report is going to say the same exact thing that the report on Hillary's email did that you monkeys had a meltdown over.
"There is not enough evidence to prosecute".
Not so funny is that you'd come here and just lie your ass off. Weird the way Trump is going to skate despite the fact that you claimed it was a "documented fact" that he met with the Russians in order to discuss receiving stolen materials.
You are seriously the dumbest idiot here. And it's not close.
We? will let you know when you've been dethroned. You don't get to decide that.

It's funny and frightening all at the same time watching the liberal reaction to this on CNN and MSNBC right now. They are still looking for anything to get Trump on. God they are pathetic. No evidence to present a case for obstruction? THERE MUST BE OBSTRUCTION EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T SAY SO RESIST RESIST RESIST! Faggots.
I like the fact that Hondo referred to other people here as "monkeys" when his little cut and paste job where he tosses pages of bullshit against the wall hoping something sticks in a pathetic and dishonest effort to claim it supports his "documented fact" that the Russians offered Trump the hacked DNC emails is very monkey like in it's behavior.
Hondo if the argument is over whether or not there was a meeting at Trump Tower with Russians you're fucking killing it but unfortunately unfortunately for you the argument is over this claim by you
And it's a documented fact that Trump's team met with a Russian team to discuss giving DNC emails and Hillary emails to Trump.
and no amount of cut and paste and bullshit you toss against the wall is going to make that claim stick.
You've now maintained a fucking lie for over a month all because you lack the basic integrity to admit you were wrong.

Hi there. What do you think is on pages 51 to 65?
Work the balls Hondo, work the balls. I thought it was already a "documented fact" and that the Fox News article you linked established that fact? Why don't you just admit that you lied your fucking ass off Kunt?

I think it backs up Mueller's own conclusion that there was absolutely zero zip nada collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia.

Mueller is in on the cover-up. They have the goods on the Trump campaign and are refusing to prosecute.
