Donald Trump Jr suddenly has a huge Russian mafia problem

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Last week it was revealed that an alleged Russian mobster reached out to the Donald Trump campaign in the hope of setting up a meeting, and that while Jared Kushner turned down that offer, he tried to cover up the entire thing by omitting the interaction from his White House security clearance forms. As big of a legal problem as that may end up being for Kushner, it turns out his brother in law Donald Trump Jr didn’t even have the sense to avoid that same alleged mobster.

Donald Trump Jr met with alleged Russian mafia figure Alexander Torshin during the 2016 election while they were both at an NRA event, according to a new CBS News report (link). The story for now is that the meeting only lasted “two or three minutes” and that the only thing they discussed was gun rights. The trouble here for Junior is that he has a terrible track record of getting caught having met with Russians, and then initially lying about the reason, before then being caught in that lie.

For instance, after the media revealed that Donald Trump Jr met with a Russian government lawyer at Trump Tower during the election, he initially claimed that the meeting was focused on “adoption.” The media then subsequently revealed that Junior took the meeting because the Kremlin had promised him dirt on Hillary Clinton if she attended. Then, as time went on, it turned out far more Russians attended the meeting than had been claimed, including a Russian money laundering figure.

So now that we know Donald Trump Jr met with an alleged Russian mobster during the election, we have every reason to be skeptical of the claim that the meeting was brief and only involved gun rights. That would be as preposterous as believing that Junior’s meeting with a Kremlin lawyer was merely about adoption.
