President Trump denied in a tweet that he is concerned that his eldest son is a target of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation for his meeting with a Russian lawyer during the presidential campaign, insisting that his son’s actions were “totally legal.”
Said Trump: “This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics – and it went nowhere.”
He added: “I did not know about it!”
Axios: “Trump and his son have repeatedly changed their stance on the purpose of the 2016 meeting. In a statement to The New York Times last July, which investigators now know was dictated by President Trump, Don Jr. said the meeting was primarily about Russian adoptions. Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen has also claimed that the president approved the meeting ahead of time, contradicting continued denials by Trump and his legal team.”
