President Trump personally dictated a false and misleading statement—attributed to Donald Trump Jr.—about a meeting the president’s son arranged with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign. That’s according to The Washington Post, which reported President Trump’s decision to withhold important details about the meeting came over objections from his senior advisers, who wanted to provide a truthful account in case full details later emerged. Donald Trump Jr. accepted the meeting after receiving an email from an associate describing it as an attempt by the Russian government to peddle information incriminating Hillary Clinton. The statement dictated by President Trump described the meeting as short and not focused on campaign-related issues.
