Circumstantial evidence is overwhelming Putin gave Trump his false cover story about 2016 meeting

Josh Marshall @joshtpm
Face it. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that Trump talked with Putin - in person and with no American witnesses - to come up with his false cover story about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Collusion as President. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/prime-beta/did-putin-help-trump-come-up-with-his-cover-story-pretty-likely

July 7, 2017: Trump speaks privately w/Putin, w/only a Russian translator, about "adoption"

July 8, 2017: Trump dictates statement for Trump Jr, says the Trump Tower meeting was about "adoption"

July 8, 2017: Trump Jr releases statement claiming the meeting was about "adoption"

Reup from last night:

The real question isn't whether Trump Sr or Trump Jr dictated statement abt June 9 meeting.

It's whether Putin did.
