From The NY Times:
Before arranging a meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer he believed would offer him compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy, according to three people with knowledge of the email.
Here’s what I think are the outstanding questions pertaining to what occurred in regard to the Trump campaign in Trump Tower on 9 June 2016.
1) On June 2016 there was a meeting of the Trump campaign finance folks at Trump Tower. News reporting documented Reince Priebus, among others, as being in Trump Tower that day.
2) Where exactly in Trump Tower did the meeting with the Russian lawyer take place?
3) At what time?
4) Who else did she have access to? The finance folks?
5) That afternoon, at 4:40 PM, the (now) President issued his first tweet about Secretary Clinton’s emails.
This leaves a very important final pair of questions:
Were the Russians successful, did the Trump campaign reciprocate?
