The Trump family relationship with the truth is an amazing sight to behold - it's apparently whatever they believe it to be at any given moment.
Now Don Jr. has said, in his prepared statement to Congressional staffers interviewing him today, that he took the meeting with the Russian lawyer in hopes of getting information about Hillary's "fitness for office", but nothing came of it. This is at least his third or fourth iteration of explaining what actually happened; it seems like we're approaching the real truth but are not quite there yet. He still insists that Trump Sr. didn't know about the meeting, but that seems less and less plausible; Mueller wants to interview WH staff that were on AF-1 when the original explanation was crafted.
Funny thing about telling the truth - you don't have to remember what it was you said previously. |
