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."

    I have family members that could have handed out plates of gold. They didn't. They handed out checks sometimes for tax reasons, and would help in case of a real financial need, but they would never have done something remotely as tacky as "here's a plate full of gold".

    I've also worked for non-profits. Large donations as a rule come with strings attached, either express ("Name the building after me") or implied ("I'd hate to see you have to cut back on your program, but I just can't continue my support if you ______").

    As for any handouts coming in a business or political context, you can be certain that somebody is trying to pull a fast one.
