Trump not aware of 2016 meeting between son, Russian lawyer -legal spokesman

President Donald Trump was "not aware of and did not attend" a 2016 meeting between his son, Donald Trump Jr., and a Kremlin-connected lawyer that the New York Times reported on Sunday followed promises of damaging information on Hillary Clinton, Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Trump's legal team, said.

The Times, citing three advisors to the White House, said Trump's then-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also attended the meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

When Clinton left office he had huge legal debts for years due to Gingrich and Starr.

So now we are to believe that Don Jr. and Kushner went rogue on Trump?

Does anyone believe that either of these sycophants even piss without clearing it with "dad"?
