Trump Lawyer Confirms Meeting Ukrainian, Denies Carrying Peace Plan

President Trump's personal lawyer has acknowledged to NBC News that he met privately in New York last month with a controversial Russian-born Trump associate and a member of Ukraine's parliament, but disputes a New York Times report that the men gave him a peace plan for Ukraine that he delivered to then-National Security Adviser Mike Flynn.

The episode is drawing scrutiny because of the intense interest in any dealings by Trump associates having to do with Russia or Russia-related issues.

The Times reported that the meeting was called to discuss a peace plan being pushed by a Ukrainian lawmaker, Andrey Artemenko, who is associated with a former Ukrainian leader backed by Russian president Vladimir Putin and advised by Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman.

Manafort is the subject of an FBI inquiry over his Ukraine dealings, and the FBI is also investigating whether any Trump associates colluded with the Russian campaign to interfere in the U.S. presidential election.

Drip drip drip...Trump's lawyer now confirms NY Times reports of a meeting that Trump and company have been deriding as fake news...

[livetohike]

1. Guess they better work on getting their stories

straight. Hope this all comes up together soon and we can be rid of all of them.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. You had to know

they were pushing the #fakenews angle for a calculated reason

No better way to coverup than to have evidence disbelieved

[George II]

3. Another lying sack of shit. If the meeting took place before January 20 it was treason.

[ProudLib72]

4. What?

I thought he already said he delivered it but didn't know what it was. WTF?

Is this the way it's going to be from now until 2020? Who's on first... Were we supposed to have been studying Russian literature so that we'd have experience keeping all the names and their relations to one another straight?

[yallerdawg]

5. I wonder if a Ukrainian could be...

"a Russian agent"?

[SunSeeker]

6. K & R for exposure.

[cstanleytech]

7. Anyone else notice the clause he inserted about Flynn? Makes me wonder if there was a 3rd party

involved also he specified documents but what if he delivered a usb drive with the deal on it? Technically he would not be "lying" he would claim but we all know its just misdirecting and still a lie.

8. K & R

9. K&R

Slowly the wheels of justice grind...

[Dave Starsky]

10. Patience, Grasshopper.

Remember that it was two years between the Watergate break-in and Nixon's resignation.

It's unbelievable how fast this stuff is happening in just one month.

[czarjak]

11. "I was lying then...

and that's the truth", huh?

[turbinetree]

12. Rachel Maddow had a great piece on this tonight

and since Manafort and this crowd are heavily involved in this sh**t, I just wonder how they can explain the deaths of people falling out of the sky and getting shot down needlessly, and on the ground needlessly, and the Fitash "guy", that the DOJ has been trying to get a hold of for over 3 years being in Austria.
As Maddow tonight, said he is the thread to this entire corruption scheme, and he knows

[NurseJackie]

13. "Okay, so, we know they know about the meeting, but the don't know what we said..."

"... so as long as we only admit to just the meeting and deny everything else then they'll never be able to prove a thing. But we have to stick to our story Comrade."
