“The U.S. Secret Service on Sunday denied a suggestion from President Donald Trump's personal lawyer that it had vetted a meeting between the president's son and Russian nationals during the 2016 campaign.”
I suppose this another case of alternative facts from one of President Trump's attorneys? Says News And Guts Facebook post. It must be fake news. A case where everyone lies except for Donald Trump, his administration, and his attorneys.
“’Well, I wonder why the Secret Service, if this was nefarious, why the Secret Service allowed these people in. The president had Secret Service protection at that point, and that raised a question with me,’ Jay Sekulow, a member of the president's legal team, said on Sunday on the ABC news program ‘This Week.’”
"In an emailed response to questions about Sekulow's comments, Secret Service spokesman Mason Brayman said the younger Trump was not under Secret Service protection at the time of the meeting, which included Trump's son and two senior campaign officials.
"Donald Trump, Jr. was not a protectee of the USSS in June, 2016. Thus we would not have screened anyone he was meeting with at that time," the statement said."
