Jay Sekulow: 'Bad information' in false statements on Trump Tower meeting

Jay Sekulow, an attorney for President Donald Trump, said Sunday that he made a mistake by denying Trump was involved in a misleading statement last year on Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian attorney.

"I had bad information at that time and made a mistake in my statement," Sekulow said on ABC's "This Week." "I've talked about that before. That happens when you have cases like this."

Last year, Sekulow denied Trump had signed off on a statement responding to revelations in The New York Times about the meeting Trump Jr. and other top Trump campaign hands had in June 2016 after being told about the opportunity to receive Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton. That initial statement from Trump Jr. said the meeting primarily concerned "a program about the adoption of Russian children." But after further Times reporting revealed the motivation related to Clinton, Trump Jr. then issued a new statement acknowledging an offer of allegedly damaging information on Clinton and the Democratic Party, and he ultimately published his emails related to the meeting.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders later admitted last year that Trump "weighed in" on the initial misleading statement about the Trump Tower meeting, and Trump's legal team sent a letter to special counsel Robert Mueller in January acknowledging that Trump had "dictated" the initial statement.

Somewhat surprised that a Trumper actually acknowledged an inconsistency. Normally, if they are caught say one thing one day and another the next, they just insist that it is entirely consistent and then start screaming Fake News!

1. Any attorney with integrity...

...would quit upon finding out their client lied to them. Says a lot about Trump and everything about Sekulow.

7. KellyAnne Cunway on CBS,

Jay Sekulow on ABC, and Chuck Toad on NBC. I skipped all (always skip Toad) and walked the dog instead. Less shit walking the dog than watching these assholes.

17. Could Scudlow have lied? A Trump mouthpiece lie. Shocked, absolutlely shocked!

2. So,the Lawyers

disciplinary board is breathing down his neck. No other reason for him to change his story.

[PSPS]

3. "cases like this." More like "attorneys like me."

[Dopers_Greed]

4. They can't keep their stories straight bc Trump is too undisciplined

Not a good characteristic for a liar and criminal to have

[C_U_L8R]

5. Bad information from a rotten client.

And even worse (to a lawyer that is), he doesn't pay his bills.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. We may never know the whole story or the complete truth, but in the end

what we do learn is going to surpass by far what we expect to learn. There are so many players and so many lies that it's hard to imagine.

What troubles me the most is the Republicans in Congress, who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, will not denounce his lies, but continue to support him while he destroys our country.

[noneof_theabove]

8. The media should call him out....

for what exactly he is....A FAILED CON ARTIST.

A real con artist knows to keep telling the same lie, or he fails, gets caught, and goes to jail, or lynched.

Yes, he ran a con on just the right groups and locations [gerrymandering] to grab the Electoral College.

My real original redneck uncle, passed 5 years ago at 68, said growing up "there will be another civil war, not black against white, or slaves against no slaves, but everyone against everyone else."

Sad he can't get canonized as a prophet as this may come to be.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT NOVEMBER 2018

[Sneederbunk]

10. If you work for Trump, you get bad information.

[True Blue American]

11. I gusee they are afraid

To speak out.

After all Trump bragged yesterday he ruined the careers of Republicans who speak against him.

Lily livered cowards.

[Cousin Dupree]

12. "bad information" (my client lied to me)

[Ilsa]

13. "That happens when you have cases like this."

You mean cases with lying, narcissistic felons as clients, Jay?

[MarcA]

14. Bad info? Guess its time to go back to TBN.

Also, that paragon of true info Jim Bakker is back on the air,
so might want to give him a call.

[louis c]

15. Where did the "bad info" come from...

...it's not like eating a bad clam. someone of influence had to tell him that lie.

Talk about "fake news"? The Trump team manufacturers it by the hour.
