Up until last night, we had no idea that Trump staffers met with the Russian ambassador en masse durring the GOP convention. And Trump staff has vehemently denied any contact with the Russians at all.
The Trump camp has steadfastly denied any involvement in changing the RNC platform in regard to the Ukraine. We find out today that, yes, they were behind the change.
"An unverified dossier presented to Trump in January by top US intelligence officials alleged that Mr Trump “agreed to sideline” the issue of Russian intervention in Ukraine during his campaign after Russia promised to feed the emails it stole from prominent Democrats’ inboxes to WikiLeaks."
Well, the platform was changed and the first DNC hacked email was released from wikileaks, wait for it...
The day after the end of the republican convention.
