5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

    Trump said he wanted to improve relations with russia publically during the campaign. Looks like he tried to do that because he wasnt part of whatever secret backroom deal gone wrong between Russia and the Obama administration. There is no need to think that has anything to do with the meeting in question.

    This whole thing has to be fake. All I see is some zero evidence wild speculations most useful to drown out any real criticism of trump. This is so crazy, I warned everyone on here that Trump was going to win because of this behaviour well before the election, but the same people seem to be doubling down!!
