President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel’s investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.
Mr. Trump wrote in a Sunday tweet- “This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere.” He said he did not know about it.
That is a far different explanation than Mr. Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the President but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read- “We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago.”
