(115,807 posts)3. Some consider Abramson to be rather unreliable,
more or less in the same league with Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/12/sharing-seth-abramson-not-once-not-ever.html So you might take his tweets with a grain of salt...

That meeting, including that very picture, have been widely reported and commented upon by virtually every news organization, which you may easily confirm in a few moments with Google.

According to court filings unsealed this week, Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos suggested at a March 2016 meeting that he could use his connections to set up a meeting between Putin and Trump with the then-GOP candidate's national security team. An Instagram picture on Trump's account shows Sessions attended the meeting at which Papadopoulos made the suggestion.

On Tuesday, Sessions said he did in fact now remember that he was part of a March 31, 2016, meeting that included both then-candidate Trump and a foreign policy adviser named George Papadopoulos.
