<\/a>RUSSIA PROBE<\/strong>. Mueller learned of Donald Trump Jr. meeting from Paul Manafort<\/a>: \u201cIn fact, Manafort had alerted authorities to a controversial meeting on June 9, 2016, involving Trump\u2019s son Donald Jr., other campaign representatives and a Russian lawyer promising damaging information on Hillary Clinton, according to people familiar with the matter. The president and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were dragged into the matter in July as details repeatedly emerged that contradicted the initial accounts of that meeting. Manafort disclosed the meeting to lawmakers about three months ago\u00a0in response to a congressional request for any information related to Russia during his time on the campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Tony](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tonyabbott.jpeg?resize=195%2C195\")

We live<\/a> and we learn and hopefully after Aug. 26, he won\u2019t be speaking that same language.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
