A meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer was set up at the request of Emin Agalarov, a Russian pop star whose Kremlin-connected family has done business with President Trump in the past, according to the person who arranged the meeting.

Rob Goldstone, a music publicist who represents Agalarov, confirmed on Monday that he requested the Trump Tower meeting at Agalarov’s request. Emin Agalarov and his father, Aras Agalarov, a wealthy Moscow real estate developer, helped sponsor the Trump-owned Miss Universe pageant in Russia in 2013.

After the pageant, the Agalarovs signed a preliminary deal with Trump to build a tower bearing his name in Moscow, though the deal has been on hold since Trump began running for president.

Now it appears we have to correct this-we've learned it's all Lynch's fault! Regards, Len [fleeing]

The president appeared to cite a report in The Hill that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch allowed Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya to travel into the country early last year.

“She was here because of Lynch,” Trump said during a press conference in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Russia is a ruse? I guess I missed the clever wordplay. At the moment, it's beginning to look like that fateful meeting in the Tower of Trump with Boy Junior might have been a Politboro class reunion:

We saw this on the Today Show this morning-if this can be verified by other sources then I'll have to quote Donald Jr.--"I love it.' Regards, Len

O O O O these DC nothing-burgers! Good thing DJT didn't quit his day job in Manhattan when he moved to Washington. Smart of him to keep something to pay NYC rent and taxes.
