https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/may/16/trump-russia-investigation-donald-trump-jr-senate-testimony?CMP=twt_guThe Trump Organization fed a prepared statement to a publicist for Russians involved in the notorious 2016 meeting at Trump Tower on what to tell the press about what was discussed, it emerged on Wednesday.
An attorney for the Trump familys company urged the publicist in an email to endorse Donald Trump Jrs version of events on the meeting and said it would be our preference if he did not say anything else in response to inquiries.
The attorney, Alan Futerfas, also directly contacted two Russians involved in the meeting shortly before its existence was made public in the media, according to copies of emails released by Congress.
Another email showed the incoming White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told the same publicist, Rob Goldstone, it was important that we remain consistent and united in the face of public pressure about the meeting.

the goods on Hillary or not. It matters that they tried to get dirt on Hillary from a foe of the USA. Donny Jr. et al tried.
