Axelrod: ‘Implausible’ Trump Didn’t Know About Trump Jr. Meeting, Emails

‘I’m sure investigators are going to drill down into that question’

EXCERPT:

AXELROD: "It is really hard for me to believe that Don Jr. was acting on information and meeting arranged by people who were known to Donald Trump, former business partners of Donald Trump with connections to the Russian regime and to Putin, and had a meeting that included Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner, the two top figures in his campaign, and nobody told Trump. We know this about the Trump operation — it was tight, it was small, and Donald Trump was at the center of it. The fact that no one would come to him and say, 'Hey, we just got a tip that we may have some information that could really be dynamite in this campaign' seems implausible to me. I’m sure investigators are going to drill down into that question."
