The old adage “like father, like son” holds true for the Trump family. When asked by officials if he had any dealings with the Russians, Donald Trump Jr. replied that he had not. His father has the art of making false statements down to a science, too.
Trump Jr.’s lawyer made the lame excuse that no information was gleaned from the meeting. So, I suppose, if you rob a bank and don’t find any cash inside the bank, that you won’t be charged with bank robbery?
I find it difficult to believe that a controlling person such as Donald Trump was unaware of that meeting.
