Trump Just Gave The One Answer That Could Get Him Impeached For The Russia Scandal

Trump claims that he didn’t know anything about the meeting where his son tried to collude with a representative of the Russian government. If evidence surfaces that Trump did know, the President will be linked to collusion with a hostile foreign government and could be impeached.

Reuters reported:

Asked if he knew that his son was meeting with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya in June last year, Trump said in a White House interview: “No, that I didn’t know until a couple of days ago when I heard about this.”

Donald Trump lies with the same reflexive ease that other people breathe. The idea that Trump is telling the truth this time on Russia is hard to believe. One of the things that the nation has learned about Trump as president is that he is a terrible liar. If Trump isn’t telling the truth and he did know, the President could face impeachment.

Axios reported that Trump is receiving regular briefings from Jared Kushner about his meetings with special counsel Robert Mueller, which is why the idea that a notorious micromanager like Trump would want regular updates about the special counsel, but wouldn’t know about the Russia meeting involving his son, son in law, and campaign manager makes zero sense.

Someone is not telling the truth and based on his track record; the liar is probably Donald Trump. The difference between this lie and the ones that Trump has previously told is that the lie about the Russia meeting could get him impeached. Trump’s lies always come back to haunt him, but this lie could get him booted out of the White House.
