Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said the 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between the then-candidate's oldest son and a Russian lawyer with ties to the Kremlin was arranged to seek information about Democrat Hillary Clinton.
"The meeting was originally for the purpose of getting information about, about Clinton," Giuliani said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "It turned out to be a meeting about another subject, and it was not pursued at all."
Giuliani's comment was consistent with a tweet by Trump on Aug. 5 that the gathering had been arranged to "get information on an opponent," contradicting the previous reason given for the meeting. He didn't mention Clinton by name.
