704 about Russian adoption. After speaking with the President, Hicks texted Trump Jr. a revised statement on the June 9 meeting that read: It was a short meeting. I asked Jared and Paul to stop by. We discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago and was since ended by the Russian government, but it was not a campaign issue at that time and 705 there was no follow up. 706 Hicks’s text concluded, “Are you ok with this? Attributed to you.” Trump Jr. responded by text message that he wanted to add the word “primarily” before “discussed” so that the statement would read, “We primarily discussed a 707 program about the adoption of Russian children.” Trump Jr. texted that he wanted the change because “[t]hey started with some Hillary thing which was bs 708 and some other nonsense which we shot down fast.” Hicks texted back, “I think that’s right too but boss man worried it invites a lot of questions[.] [U]ltimately [d]efer to you and [your attorney] on that word Bc I know it’s important and I think the mention of a campaign issue adds something to it in 709 case we have to go further.” Trump Jr. responded, “if I don’t have it in there 710 it appears as though I’m lying later when they inevitably leak something.” Trump Jr.’s statement—adding the word “primarily” and making other minor 711 additions—was then provided to the New York Times. The full statement provided to the Times stated: It was a short introductory meeting. I asked Jared and Paul to stop by. We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago and was since ended by the Russian government, but it was not a campaign issue at the time and there was no follow up. I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance, but was not told the name of 712 the person I would be meeting with beforehand. The statement did not mention the offer of derogatory information about Clinton or any discussion of the Magnitsky Act or U.S. sanctions, which were the principal subjects of the meeting, as described in Volume I, Section IV.A.5, supra.
