Assange says he urged Don Jr. to publish on WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks founder and enemy of our national security Julian Assange said he contacted Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday morning to convince him to publish the emails involved with his meeting with a Russian lawyer who lured him with the claim that she has damaging information about Hillary Clinton on the site.

"Contacted Trump Jr this morning on why he should publish his emails (i.e. with us). Two hours later, does it himself," the self-serving slug tweeted.

Earlier on Tuesday, Donald Trump Jr. published an email exchange he had with British publicist Rob Goldstone. It showed they corresponded about a meeting with Russian attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, last year.

Goldstone told Don Jr. that the lawyer had damaging information about Hillary Clinton, and this was part of Russia's government's efforts to help defeat the shrieking felon. [He didn't actually write that--I just did]. 

Ultimately, Trump Jr., former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner met with Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in June 2016. According to Trump Jr., the meeting didn't discuss any information about Hillary and seemed somewhat confusing to Trump Jr., and appeared to have focused on the adoption issue of Russian children.

Donald Trump Jr. will be speaking to Sean Hannity Tuesday night and will discuss the emails, and Bob Muller will also be looking into the situation as well.
