Read the whole story. Trump Jr. confirmed the whole damn thing in the middle of denying it. What a fucking moron.

And Trump’s lawyer claimed that Trump had no knowledge of the meeting. Sure.

JEDIT: If you can’t read the story, here are the money quotes.

In a statement on Sunday, Donald Trump Jr. said he had met with the Russian lawyer at the request of an acquaintance. “After pleasantries were exchanged,” he said, “the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.”

He’s trying to claim he had no idea she would be offering dirt on Clinton. But then he says:

“It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting,” Mr. Trump said.

Whoops.
