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."

    What changing stories?

    "Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she's given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her." Donald J Trump, March 28, 2012 episode of "On the Record," a Fox News program

    On a serious note, here's a pretty good compilation of the lies that have gotten us here. [npr.org]

    Ok, has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I mean really? Thats your evidence of russian collusion? No one outside the echo chamber is going to think this type of thing works out in Trumps disfavor.

    Remember, that was when President Trump was still a Democrat (which he was for most his life).
