Yet Marco Rubio AND the GOP members agree 2016 Cheeto got help from Putin
Russian Dirt on Clinton? âI Love It,â Donald Trump Jr. Said
The June 3, 2016, email sent to Donald Trump Jr. could hardly have been more explicit:
One of his fatherâs former Russian business partners had been contacted by a senior Russian government official and was offering to provide the Trump campaign with dirt on Hillary Clinton.
The documents âwould incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,â read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, â
This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its governmentâs support for Mr. Trump.â
If the future presidentâs eldest son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material â or the notion that it was part of a continuing effort by the Russian government to aid his fatherâs campaign â he gave no indication.
He replied within minutes: âIf itâs what you say I love it especially later in the summer.â
Email exchanges reviewed by The Times offer a detailed unspooling of how an eager Donald Trump Jr. came to meet with a Kremlin-connected lawyer.
