Trump 'weighed in' on son's statement about Russia meeting, White House says

CNN) President Donald Trump weighed in on the statement released after it was revealed his son, Donald Trump Jr., met with a Russian lawyer in 2016, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday.

"The statement that Don Jr. issued is true," Sanders said. "There's no inaccuracy in the statement. The President weighed in as any father would, based on the limited information that he had."

Sanders said the matter was "of no consequence."

Sad. Decent Americans see it otherwise. I suppose her kremlin handlers told her to say that in fake defense of Comrade Casino, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

way past time for repubes to stop lying.
