@ 2 The 45th Responds to son's emails, Secy of Edu Devos/Jackson @ 3 Emmy Nods

The 45th continued Thursday to defend his son’s meeting with a Russian lawyer, characterizing it as standard campaign practice and maintaining that “nothing happened” as a result of the June sit-down. Trump Jr. released emails this week from 2016 in which he appeared eager to accept information from the Russian government that could have damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The emails were sent ahead of a Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer that Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also attended.The remarks in Paris, made in a joint news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, came even though Trump’s own FBI pick said one day earlier that authorities should be advised of campaign meeting requests with foreign individuals and even after Donald Trump Jr. said he would rethink his own conduct in taking it in the first place.“Most people would have taken that meeting,” Trump said. “It’s called opposition research, or research into your opponent.”

Aramis Ayala is a Florida State Attorney, the first and only black person to ever hold the role. A State Attorney is lawyer employed by the state to prosecute cases on their behalf, in a similar way to a District Attorney. On 19 June, Ayala was pulled over by police. Bodycam footage of the incident has since been released by the Orlando Police Department. It shows Ayala asking why she was pulled over. The explanation given is that when the officers ran her car's tag there was no result.
