Donald Trump Jr. says Russian lawyer claimed Clinton campaign collusion

President Trump’s eldest son said Sunday that there was more to his meeting with a Russian lawyer last year than previously acknowledged, prompting fresh speculation about Trump campaign intrigue with the Kremlin.

In a startling switch, Donald Trump Jr. said the lawyer claimed Russia was working to help Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

When the New York Times first reported the meeting Saturday, Donald Trump Jr. issued a statement saying the meeting was focused mainly on a discontinued program for U.S. adoptions of Russian children

The younger Mr. Trump said that during the meeting the lawyer claimed to have information that “individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee” and supporting Clinton.

He said no details or supporting information was ever offered, and that his father was unaware of the meeting.

I just read Trump fired 500 VA employees and suspended 200 more.
The Trump administration has reportedly terminated 548 VA employees, another 200 were suspended, and 33 demoted.
The disciplined parties include “22 senior leaders, more than 70 nurses, 14 police officers, and 25 physicians.”
