Thanks for doing a follow up to this. That's what I was objecting to the first time around. Rather than speculate and hang our hats on nothing more than air, now we know that Trump didn't seek out any information on international adoptions or bans, and that the meeting was attended by people that misrepresented themselves.

And, of course, the NYT seizes on this to prove what? That people lie to get meetings? The mediia outlets are so losing credibility.
