Trump calls Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with Russian lawyer 'opposition research'

WASHINGTON – President Trump on Thursday defended his son's meeting with a Russian lawyer whom he believed had political dirt on Hillary Clinton – calling it a normal practice during a U.S. presidential campaign.

"It's called opposition research, or even research into your opponent,"
Trump said at a joint news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. "Politics is not the nicest business in the world, but it's very standard where they have information and you take the information."

Opposition research is normal. Colluding with a hostile foreign power for it is not normal or legal. CousinIT Oct 2017 #2
