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 more faith in our fellow citizens who would have to carry out his insane orders. It could get bad, but I don't think it will go the way of the Nazis.

  I wish I could have that kind of faith. But the reality is that before Hitler and the Nazi machine Germans were just Germans. And even during the war there were voices of dissent who were suppressed.
  No, I fear very much that herd mentality and xenophobia are probably enough to allow ourselves to be pushed over the edge. But we'll probably settle on Latin Americans instead of the Jews.
