Trump Jr emails reveal 'I love it' response to Russia dirt offer

Donald Trump Jr. released emails showing he eagerly accepted a meeting with a Russian lawyer promising damaging information on Hillary Clinton as 'part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump.' When offered dirt on Clinton from 'the Crown prosecutor of Russia,' Trump Jr. replied 'I love it.' The emails proved the Trump campaign knowingly met with Russians offering election help. Trump Jr. initially lied about the meeting, claiming it was about adoption policy. The revelation contradicted a year of Trump family denials about Russia contacts. The June 2016 meeting included Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort meeting with Kremlin-connected lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

"If it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer." — Trump Jr's email response to Rob Goldstone, June 3, 2016 (released July 11, 2017)
