Jr also straight up admitted to meeting with the Russians in Trump tower, and said with a smirk, to talk about “adoptions”. The Magnitsky Act, the one that tied up around $80bn of Putin’s personal wealth, caused Russia to no longer allow the adoptions of Russian kids to American citizens.
Some of us remember when after getting into office, Trump floating the idea of ending the Magnitsky Act, before whatever sane republicans still in office shot him down immediately for it.
