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."

    This info has got to be a year old by now. The rest of the story: The Obama administration mysteriously granted special permission for a banned lawyer to enter the USA. She then met with democrats (for what?), met with Trump Jr., and then met with democrats again. Hillary also knew in advance, seeing as she started talking about Russian connections in the summer of 2006.

    If anything, this is indeed proof of Russian collusion to influence the election... by democrats.
