Lawyers Admit Trump “Dictated” Response to Trump Tower Meeting Despite Denials
In July 2017, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, who remains on the President's legal team, was conclusive about his boss's role in the crafting of that statement from Don Jr. -- which insisted the meeting had primarily been about adoption policies. (We learned later that was not the reason the meeting was called or its main goal.)
"Let's focus on what the President was aware of: nothing,"
insisted Sekulow on CNN's "New Day." "I wasn't involved in the statement drafting at all nor was the President. I'm assuming that was between Mr. Donald Trump Jr. and his lawyers. I'm sure his lawyer was involved, that's how you do it. To put this on the President, I think, is absolutely incorrect."
By the following month, the White House hedging began. "The President weighed in as any father would, based on the limited information that he had,"
said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders about Trump's involvement in the statement.
Neither of those statements were accurate, it turns out. How do we know? Because the Trump legal team, in a 20-page January memo to special counsel Robert Mueller, first obtained by The New York Times, said they weren't accurate.
