Something Huge Was Just Revealed About Donald Jr.’s Trump Tower Meeting
By The Blaze. Donald Trump Jr. made several private phone calls in advance of the infamous Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer, which many Democrats have long assumed were to his father, then-candidate Donald Trump.
CNN reported Thursday that the calls were not to Trump, but rather to two unnamed business associates, according to “three sources with knowledge of the matter.”
The calls, which were between Trump Jr. and two blocked numbers that don’t show up in phone records, had previously been cited as potential evidence that President Trump knew that Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort were meeting with a Russian lawyer in an attempt to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. . .
President Trump has long maintained that he did not know about the Trump Tower meeting in advance, and he told special counsel Robert Mueller as much when he submitted his written answers to Mueller’s inquiries.
The meeting in question was between Trump Jr., Kushner, and Manafort and a Russian lawyer named Natalia Veselnitskaya. It was faciliated by Emin Agalarov, a Russian pop star who is the son of a Russian oligarch. (Read more from “Something Huge Was Just Revealed About Donald Jr.’s Trump Tower Meeting” HERE)

Reports: Trump Jr.’s mysterious phone calls after Trump Tower meeting weren’t with the president
By USA Today. The mysterious phone calls that Donald Trump Jr. made before and after his meeting with a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower were not to his father, President Donald Trump, but rather to several business associates, according to media reports.
The reports, from CNN and ABC News, which cited unnamed sources, say records given to the Senate Intelligence Committee revealed the identities of who Trump Jr. spoke with both in the hours after and in the days before the notorious 2016 meeting with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, who the president’s eldest son thought had compromising information on rival Hillary Clinton.
The reports cast doubt on a theory long held by Democrats that the blocked phone calls were to his father, informing him of the controversial meeting. The Democrats theory seemed to hold weight for months due to contradicting explanations given by Trump Jr. about the meeting. . .
Trump Jr.’s phone calls became a focus due to the mysteriously blocked numbers. When he appeared before Congress, Trump Jr. said he did not remember who he spoke with in three calls with blocked numbers but said that he didn’t speak to his father.
