Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

There appears to be some contradiction here...

In June, Trump's personal lawyer stated (regarding Trump Jr.'s press statement about meeting with the Russians)
Quote:
On June 12, Sekulow told George Stephanopoulos that the Times' June 11 report was "incorrect," and "the president didn't sign off on anything. He was coming back from the G-20, the statement that was released on Saturday was released by Donald Trump Jr. and, I'm sure, in consultation with his lawyers. The president wasn't involved in that." He then told CNN's New Day that "I wasn't involved in the statement drafting at all, nor was the president." On June 16, he told Chuck Todd on NBC's Meet the Press: "I do want to be clear that the president was not involved in the drafting of the statement and did not issue the statement. It came from Donald Trump Jr."

Today, the Trump's official Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, stated at a White House Press Conference
Quote:
Asked about Trump’s involvement in writing the statement, Sanders said, “He certainly didn’t dictate, but you know, he — like I said, he weighed in, offered suggestion, like any father would do.”

Both of these statements are from Trump's lawyer and Press Secretary, so cannot be dismissed as 'Fake News'.
