President Donald Trumps eldest son recently described by a source familiar with the Senates Russia probe as too stupid to be malicious reportedly regrets taking the meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in 2016, according to a sweeping GQ report on Donald Trump Jr.s efforts to vie for his fathers approval. But Trump Jr. doesnt regret taking the meeting because revelations of its existence effectively augmented the investigation into the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election.
He regrets it because it ended up causing a situation that wasted a lot of time and money, a source close to Trump Jr. told GQ.
That attitude is reflective of Trump Jr.s entire approach to infamous meeting, which included former campaign and recently imprisoned Paul Manafort, Trump son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and others. According to an unnamed meeting participant who spoke with GQ, when Trump Jr. realized that the sole purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Magnitsky Act and Russian adoptions, he zoned out.
The light just went out in his eyes, the participant told GQ. He was totally disinterested.
