Trump offers wild new explanation for why his son met with a Russian agent

At a campaign rally in Michigan, a red-faced Trump offered a convoluted explanation for Veselniskaya’s admission. According to Trump, Veselniskaya does not have any relationship with the Russian government. But she recently was convinced by Putin to pretend she was an agent of the Russian government.

Why? According to Trump, Putin realized that “Trump is killing us.” Therefore, Putin convinced Veselniskaya to lie about her role to make life in America “even more chaotic”

what was Putin doing telling her to pretend to be a government agent? Isn't that exactly evidence of her relationship with the Russian government?
