President Trump promised to make a speech revealing new information about his former rival, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton just after his son Donald Trump Jr. confirmed a meeting with a Russian lawyer to discuss information on Clinton.
Trump said; “I think you’re going to find it very informative and very very interesting,” saying that it would likely take place next week. “We are going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons,” he said.
Trump’s comments came after his son released emails relating to his previously undisclosed meeting last year with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who has been linked to the Kremlin. Trump Jr. has denied telling his father about the meeting, claiming “there was nothing to tell” and that the meeting was a “wasted 20 minutes”, but he “probably would have done things a little differently”.
Trump Jr. posted the email exchange on Twitter this week in response to a New York Times article. The president has praised the transparency shown by his eldest son and described him as a “high quality person” in a statement read out by White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
