Trump Son Told Info Was from Russian Government
July 10, 2017 at 9:12 pm EDTBy Taegan Goddard125 Comments
Before arranging a meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer he believed would offer him compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his fathers candidacy, the New York Times reports.
The email to the younger Mr. Trump was sent by Rob Goldstone, a publicist and former British tabloid reporter who helped broker the June 2016 meeting
Mr. Goldstones message, as described to The New York Times by the three people, indicates that the Russian government was the source of the potentially damaging information.
It does not elaborate on the wider effort by Moscow to help the Trump campaign
But the email is likely to be of keen interest to the Justice Department and congressional investigators, who are examining whether any of President Trumps associates colluded with the Russian government to disrupt last years election.
