BREAKING: Trump Jr. Drops Emails Showing He Met With Russian Lawyer As ‘Part Of Russia And Its Government’s Support For Mr. Trump’

After The New York Times ran a story earlier this week reporting on a meeting between Donald Trump Jr., Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and a Russian government-connected lawyer named Natalia Veselnitskaya, the immediate reaction from the Trump administration was denial. Trump Jr. claimed that none of it was a big deal; his lawyer stated that it was “much ado about nothing.” And indeed, despite the Times’ assertion that Trump Jr. knew that the Russian government was supposedly attempting to pass along information to the Trump campaign, no openly incriminating material had actually surfaced.

So much for that.
