5 Things You Should Know About Trump Jr. and Russia
2. Trump Jr. Was Told He Was Meeting With Russian Operative
According to the released transcripts of the email exchange that led to the meeting last summer, Trump, Jr. was led to believe he was getting sensitive information from the Russian government.
Rob Goldstone, the man who helped to set up the meeting, explained in an email to Trump, Jr. that he was to meet the "Crown prosecutor of Russia," who had "some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father."
"This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump," emailed Goldstone.
"I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first."
Trump Jr. replied, in part, "if it's what you say, I love it, especially later in the summer." (Commas added for clarity.)
