Here is the story behind how Junior's meeting leaked out.
Jared did not fill out his disclosure forms for security clearance adequately, as in chunks of info missing, so Feinstein and Grassley, who over see clearance in the Judiciary Comm., challenged his security clearance in a letter to the WH, requesting his complete info.
This was a few weeks ago. The letter was posted online.
Paul Manafort did not file the required info about contact with Russians during the campaign, but has since done so, and the meeting was in the filings.There is credible suspicion that he did the paperwork like Flynn did, AFTER being questioned by FBI and other investigators.
So, the meeting was finally known.
In March,the NYTimes asked Don Jr., bout any foreign contacts, he denied any, then.
but he is still lying. HE says “I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance, but was not told the name of the person I would be meeting with beforehand.”
But Kushner says, same article, "this meeting with a Russian person, which he briefly attended at the request of his brother-in-law Donald Trump Jr. "
and Manafort's lawyers says. ."Mr. Manafort, the former campaign chairman, also recently disclosed the meeting, and Donald Trump Jr.’s role in organizing it,"
so, Manfort and Kushner have thrown DonJr under the bus, and Trump, who was in the Tower that day, says, thru his lawyers, he knew nothing at all about it.
