AP News out with a Trump piece... Talk about an outright LIE

This is why people hate the media these days. What's the point in lying about this:

---

In a change, Trump says meeting’s purpose was Clinton info

---

That's the headline. Now, I know MOST of you will see it with out anything else posted. That is an OUT RIGHT lie.

That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr.,. read: “We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago.”

---

That's a cut and a paste to make this into something.


NBC is running the same style or "hit piece" too.


The fact is, Trump Jr has always stated that he went to the meeting expecting oppo research and the lady only wanted to talk about adoption.


Here is NYT in July of 2017... THE ARTICLE that AP and NBC link to in fact!

In a statement, he said he had met with the Russian lawyer at the request of an acquaintance from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, which his father took to Moscow. “After pleasantries were exchanged,” he said, “the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.”

“It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting,” Mr. Trump said.
