Donald Trump Jr caught asking Russian government for Hillary Clinton financial documents

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.

Donald Trump Jr has already had to change his story multiple times when it comes to his secret meeting with representatives of the Russian government, as new pieces of evidence have incrementally surfaced which proved he’d been lying. Now he’s been caught in yet another lie, and depending on whether he told that lie during his congressional testimony last month, he may have just earned himself a ticket to prison.

Junior originally insisted his meeting with a Russian government attorney was about adoption. When that was exposed as a lie, he gradually began to admit that he’d taken the meeting on the promise that he’d be given information that would make Hillary Clinton look bad. His most recent claim in public was that the meeting was a total bust, and that the conversation didn’t go anywhere. But now the Russian attorney herself is admitting that Junior specifically asked her for financial documents relating to Hillary Clinton.

Natalia Veselnitskaya is now admitting in an interview with News Front, as relayed by Foreign Policy (link), that Donald Trump Jr asked her for financial documents that supposedly would have incriminated Clinton with regard to her charitable foundation. Veselnitskaya says that she had no such documents. That’s not a surprise, as the Clinton Foundation has been investigated from every possible angle, and has repeatedly turned up clean as a whistle. But it’s now a very different story when it comes to Trump Jr.

At the least, the nature of Donald Trump Jr’s conversation with Veselnitskaya was markedly different than what he’s publicly let on. If he told this same misleading version of the story to Congress last month, that would mean he committed a crime with his testimony. That’s before getting to the increasingly criminal-looking nature of his collusion meeting with the Russian government.
