Updated at 5:43 p.m. | A review of open-source data indicates then-candidate Donald Trump was inside Trump Tower last year when his eldest son and at least two other top aides huddled with a Russian lawyer they believed had Kremlin-supplied information that could hurt presidential rival Hillary Clinton.
White House and Trump campaign officials, along with the presidents private legal team, have not disputed as of publication time that he was at his Manhattan steel-and-glass haven. That means Trump was nearby though likely on a different floor when his son and associates believed they were about to receive information from the Kremlin intended to ding another candidate for the countrys highest office.
Mr. Mueller will almost certainly want answers, under oath, clarifying whether President Trump was made aware at the time of the existence of the meeting in general, to say nothing of the specific details of the meeting, said Bradley Moss, a national security lawyer, referring to Justice Department special counsel Robert S. Mueller. He will also want to know whether President Trump was debriefed about the meeting at any time in the aftermath.

I doubt a meeting like that would go unattended by dt one way or another if he was in the building.

(33,112 posts)The Jaundiced Blimp is a huge personal coward and uses surrogates to do his dirty-work. You know he knew exactly what was going on in that meeting. This has been his way of doing business for years as cover. I read a piece recently about how one of the spawn would be in a meeting and make a deal, but, before it was finalized they would have to go up to the throne room and deliver the precise terms to Don Boilerione and if he didn't like it they would have to go back down and renegotiate.
Also, recall the body guard delivering the "Comey, you're fired!" message to the FBI headquarters?
