Trump’s Russia Cover-Up By the Numbers – 102 contacts with Russia-linked operatives - The Moscow Project
"The Trump campaign issued at least 15 blanket denials of contacts with Russia, all of which have been proven false.
- July 24, 2016: Paul Manafort appeared on ABC’s This Week and George Stephanopoulos asked him 'Are there any ties between Mr. Trump, you or your campaign and Putin and his regime?' To which Manafort responded, 'No, there are not. That’s absurd. And you know, there’s no basis to it.'
- July 24, 2016: Donald Trump Jr. appeared on CNN and told Jake Tapper that the Clinton campaign’s suggestion that Russia was helping Trump was 'disgusting' and 'phony,' noting, 'Well, it just goes to show you their exact moral compass. I mean, they will say anything to be able to win this. I mean, this is time and time again, lie after lie.'"
