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."

    Let me lay that out for you. They met with entities (people are entities) and those entities were Russian. So he met with Russian Entities. Russians are NOT Americans.

    It's sad when Captain Obvious is actually called for.

    He clearly says he met with russian people in the one quote. So whatever, continue reading incorrectly into these tactically chosen phrases all you want, there was no changing of the story presented here. If you want to say "entities are people, gotcha!", that will be your own personal problem.

        Well troll certainly don't get into arguments to broaden their own perspective.
