Here is a snippet from an article in the Atlantic
Instead, Trump told Americans that as far as he knew, no one he dealt with had anything to do with Russia. And no one on Trump’s team spoke out to correct the false statement.
What’s more, CNN reported on Thursday that Trump campaign adviser Carter Page had told congressional investigators “that he mentioned to Jeff Sessions he was traveling to Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.” Both the Papadopoulos plea and the Page statement seem to contradict what Sessions told Senator Al Franken, under oath, about campaign talk with Russia. And don’t forget that Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner attended a meeting in Trump Tower with a Russian attorney who said she had damaging information about Hillary Clinton that the Kremlin wanted them to know.
To sum up, when Trump was asked about whether anyone on his campaign had contacts with Russia during the campaign, an accurate answer would have noted, in part, that multiple members of his campaign met with Russia’s ambassador; that his son took a meeting with a Russian lawyer tied to the Kremlin in hopes of obtaining damaging information on Hillary Clinton; and that one of his foreign-policy advisers explicitly offered, in his presence, to use his ties and repeated communications with Russia in order to set up a meeting with Putin.
Instead, Trump dismissed the question as fake news. Why are his supporters okay with that? If you’re one of them, email conor@theatlantic.com to explain it to me
