In reply to the discussion: Trump Jr. Was Told in Email of Russian Effort to Aid Campaign [View all]riversedge
(70,186 posts)22. nyt saying Don Sr. only found out of meeting at end of his trip.....
........News of the meeting involving the younger Mr. Trump, Mr. Kushner and Mr. Manafort blunted whatever good feeling the presidents team had after his trip to Europe for the Group of 20 economic summit.
The president learned from his aides about the 2016 meeting at the tail end of the trip, according to one White House official. But some people in the White House had known for several days that it had occurred, because Mr. Kushner had revised his foreign contact disclosure document to include it.
The president was aggravated by the news of the meeting, according to one person close to him less over the fact that it had happened, and more because it was yet another story about Russia that had swamped the media cycle.
