In Sworn Testimony in Inauguration Scandal Case, Donald Trump Jr. Made Apparently False Statements

[Soph0571]

One of the clearest instances of Trump Jr. not testifying accurately came when he was asked about Winston Wolkoff. As the lawsuit notes, during the organization of the inauguration, Winston Wolkoff, then a close friend of Melania Trump, had raised concerns with the president-elect, Ivanka Trump, and Gates about the prices the Trump Hotel was charging the inauguration committee for events to be held there. This included a written warning to Ivanka Trump and Gates that Trump’s hotel was trying to charge the committee twice the market rate for event space. (Gates ignored the warning, the lawsuit notes, and the committee struck a contract with the Trump Hotel for $1.03 million, an amount the lawsuit says was far above the hotel’s own pricing guidelines.)

During his deposition, Trump Jr. was asked about Winston Wolkoff: “Do you know her?” He replied, “I know of her. I think I’ve met her, but I don’t know her. If she was in this room I’m not sure I would recognize her.” He added, “I had no involvement with her.”

1. I really hope they prosecute him for this.

2. You know, I'm so old that I remember when lying was frowned upon.

Believe it or not, honesty was considered a virtue.

3. Yeah, just about blowjobs though. nt

5. I'm even older than that.

Seriously, lies and liars were held in low esteem at one point.
