No Images? Click here         Trump Denies He Knew Of His Son’s Trump Tower Meeting With Russians President Donald Trump on Friday denied reports that his longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen claimed he had prior knowledge of his son’s June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer. ".....I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs maybe?). He even retained Bill and Crooked Hillary’s lawyer. Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice!" he tweeted. In other tweets, he attacked “the Fake News” for asking “dumb questions” and again decried special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia as “a rigged Witch Hunt.” Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting, which was also attended by then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, has raised significant questions about whether the campaign colluded with Russia during the presidential election.
