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."

  “The actions of this administration make clear that President Trump’s national security strategy, rightfully, has identified Russia as a danger to our country.” [whitehouse.gov]

  Nikiy Haley UN Ambassador:
  “We don’t trust Russia. We don’t trust Putin. We never will. They’re never going to be our friend. That’s just a fact,” [thehill.com]
  “I will tell you that when a country can come interfere in another country’s elections, that is warfare." [politico.com]

  John Bolton National Security Advisor:
  "[Russia's attack on US elections] is in fact a casus belli, a true act of war, and one Washington will never tolerate." [smh.com.au]
