“The FBI and Congress are examining a campaign event during which Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions and Jared Kushner were in a small gathering with Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak and other diplomats at Washington’s Mayflower Hotel”, multiple U.S. officials told NBC News.
“Five current and former U.S. officials said they are aware of classified intelligence suggesting there was some sort of private encounter between Trump and his aides and the Russian envoy, despite a heated denial from Sessions, who has already come under fire for failing to disclose two separate contacts with Kislyak. Kushner also denied through a spokesman that he met privately with Kislyak that day.

In the summer of 2016, Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort took a meeting at Trump Tower with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer who promised to turn over dirt on Hillary Clinton. The meeting, along with the subsequent attempts to conceal its true purpose, is extensively covered in the redacted Mueller report. Here’s what the special counsel has to say about it:
Trump didn’t know about the meeting before it happened.
According to his own statements to the special counsel, Trump didn’t know about the meeting until months after it happened. Mueller’s team also “found no documentary evidence showing that he was made aware of the meeting — or its Russian connection — before it occurred.”
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, told Mueller’s team that he thought that wasn’t true. But his belief “that Trump Jr. had previously discussed the meeting with his father,” was weighed against the fact that he “was not involved in any such conversation.”
