DIRECT QUOTE FROM EMAILS
“Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting,” publicist Rob Goldstone emailed Trump Jr. in June 2016. “The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.”
“This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government support for Mr. Trump — helped along by Aras and Emin,” Goldstone wrote.
Trump Jr.’s response made his enthusiasm clear: “If it’s what you say, I love it especially later in the summer,” he wrote.
President Trump’s eldest son tweeted the entire exchange that led to the controversial meeting early Tuesday amid a swirl of controversy about the June 2016 encounter.
