Campaign adviser changes story and now contradicts Trump, says Donald ordered Ukraine change at RNC – Daily Kos

Heres where it is getting prickly for Donald Trump. J.D. Gordon did an interview with CNN reporter Jim Acosta and Gordons comments directly contradict Donald Trumps statementin that Stephanopoulosinterview:

Gordon's remarks represent a dramatic shift from previous comments, and they come as Attorney General Jeff Sessions faces intensescrutiny over two previously undisclosed meetingswith Russia's ambassador to the US one of which was timed to the convention.

In January, Gordon told Business Insider that he "never left" his "assigned side table" nor spoke publicly at the GOP national security subcommittee meeting, where the amendment which originally called for "providing lethal defense weapons" to the Ukrainian army to fend off Russian-backed separatists was read aloud, debated, and ultimately watered down to "providing appropriate assistance" to Ukraine.

According to CNN's Jim Acosta, however, Gordon said that at the RNC he and others "advocated for the GOP platform to include language against arming Ukrainians against pro-Russian rebels" because "this was in line with Trump's views, expressed at a March national security meeting at the unfinished Trump hotel" in Washington, DC.

"Gordon says Trump said at the meeting ... that he didn't want to go to 'World War Three' over Ukraine," Acosta said.

Emphasis added. They were directed to do so at a meeting with Donald Trump himself. And who presided over that meeting? Attorney General Jeff Sessions:

Well, well, well. And while Gordon denied the Russians did anything in return, it cannot go unnoticed that the very same week all this went down, Wikileaks released the Russian hacked DNC emails.
