SPICEY'S BACK! And he's here to assure you that Don Jr's meeting was ONLY about Russian adoptions. [View all]

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer asserted on Monday that Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with Russians during the 2016 election season was only about adoptions — although emails suggest otherwise.

In an off-camera briefing, Spicer was asked about the recent revelations that President Donald Trump’s son met with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya to obtain damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

According to reporters who attended the briefing, Spicer insisted that the meeting had only been about Magnitsky Act sanctions against Russia, which prompted President Vladimir Putin to halt all Russian adoptions for parents in the U.S.

“There was nothing as far as we know that would lead anyone to believe” they discussed another other than the Magnitsky Act, Spicer reportedly said.
