Now that it has been established that Donald Trump dictated the statement issued by his son, Donald Jr., falsely asserting that the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians was about adoptions, the president's lawyer, Jay Sekulow, says he had "bad information" when he made erroneous statements on behalf of the president denying any involvement by the president in the drafting of the false statement.
Mr. Sekulow has to know that any ethical attorney would first ask his client about the facts before issuing a statement on the client's behalf. So the conclusion is inevitable; one of four possibilities occurred. 1. Mr. Sekulow violated his ethical duty to question his client, or 2. his client lied to him, or 3. his client told him the truth and Mr. Sekulow lied to the public and the press and his client did not contradict him, or 4. perhaps most likely, Mr. Sekulow and Donald Trump conspired to put out a false statement. Under any of these options, Donald Trump is proven a liar and under all but one of the options, Mr. Sekulow merits the same condemnation.
