The Secret Service responded on Sunday to President Trumps personal lawyer Jay Sekulows claim that Donald Trump Jr.s meeting with a Russian lawyer during the campaign would not have happened if the Secret Service had considered it nefarious.
If this was nefarious, why'd the Secret Service allow these people in? Sekulow asked on ABCs This Week.
"The president had Secret Service protection at that point," he said. "That raised a question with me.
However, that protection did not extend to Trump Jr. at the time, according to the Secret Service.

(54,256 posts)"Donald Trump, Jr. was not a protectee of the USSS in June, 2016. Thus we would not have screened anyone he was meeting with at that time, Secret Service spokesman Mason Brayman said in a statement to Reuters on Sunday.

(49,036 posts)Sekulow, like the dutiful RepubliCON that he is, is muddying the waters with nonsense that he should know about. But true to RepubliCON form, he'd rather spout fake pseudo-facts than discuss the truth.
You don't have to quote the first four paragraphs automatically (or quote the first three TWICE as happened).
You can select any four paragraphs. I often select two that set the stage and two that are the crux of the article.
