Donald Trump Jr. initially claimed the meeting with Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was simply to discuss an adoption program. But after further reporting, the Times discovered that Trump Jr. had been promised the information about Clinton before arranging the meeting. Trump Jr. then released another statement that differed from his original explanation, offering two versions within a 24-hour period.
The Kremlin also denied knowing about the meeting , according to The Associated Press.
In a Sunday statement to several news organizations, including Reuters, Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Trump’s outside legal team handling matters related to the Russia probes, said that “the president was not aware of and did not attend the meeting.”
Prior to the Times reporting that Veselnitskaya had promised damaging information about Clinton, Trump Jr. released a statement to the media on Saturday:
According to Mueller's report, Trump was aware of the existence of emails related to the Trump Tower meeting by June 2017.
Trump Jr. said that if the caveat was not included it would appear "as though I'm lying later when they inevitably leak something ."
Trump at first instructed her to provide no comment, which she thought was "odd because he usually considered not responding to the press to be the ultimate sin ," Mueller wrote. Trump asked Hicks what the meeting had been about, to which Hi cks said she was told it was "about Russian adoption.".
As a source for the Trump campaign, Veselnitskaya proved disappointing, as she did not provide the damaging information about Clinton that was promised.
