Don Jr. Caught Lying Under Oath in Inauguration Scandal Case and There’s Video PROOF

Don Jr. Caught Lying Under Oath in Inauguration Scandal Case and There’s Video PROOF


To the District of Columbia’s district attorney’s office, they have stayed in their lane regarding what appears to have been a civil (as opposed to criminal) scheme to grab as much money from the non-profit 2016 Trump inauguration committee as possible. Of course, the Trumps used one of their favorite tools to move money. Pay themselves for their services from a non-profit. Sound familiar?

At issue is the event organized by Stephanie Winston-Wolkoff. You recall that Stephanie was Melania’s bff, and White House East-Wing employee until Melania and company was summarily dumped Stephanie overboard as soon as questions were asked about the funds. There are rumblings about a possible criminal investigation but the D.C. D.A. decided to go with a civil case to retrieve any non-profit funds used to secure a serious profit through exorbitant hotel pricing for rooms, some of which were not even used.

It was in this context in which Don Jr. was asked about his friendship or business relationship with Winston-Wolkoff. From here, we let Mother Jones pick up the coverage:

During his deposition, Trump Jr. was asked about Winston Wolkoff: “Do you know her?” He replied, “I know of her. I think I’ve met her, but I don’t know her. If she was in this room, I’m not sure I would recognize her.” He added, “I had no involvement with her.”

“…documents obtained by Mother Jones shows there’s evidence that Trump Jr.’s claim of having ‘no involvement’ with Winston Wolkoff was false,” writes Mother Jones’ David Corn. “On January 17, 2017, an assistant for Ivanka Trump texted Winston Wolkoff and said that Trump Jr. wanted to speak to her, providing Winston Wolkoff with his cell number.”

It appears that Mother Jones even has videotape proving the lie:

Yes. Well – that would seem to settle the matter, or at least be enough for a prosecutor to look at whether Donald Trump Jr. lied regarding what he knew and when. As Mother Jones put it:

This footage is from a tony candlelight dinner held at Union Station in Washington, DC, the night before Trump’s inauguration. This soiree was one of the official inauguration events. (A million-dollar contribution to the inauguration committee earned a Trump donor a ticket.) Here Trump Jr. can be seen profusely praising Barrack and Winston Wolkoff for the “incredible” work they did. It seems he did know her.

Yes, everyone’s favorite way of getting around tough questions in a deposition or in a criminal case is “I don’t recall,” and yet that only gets one so far. At some point, one may run into sufficient evidence to prove that the “I don’t recall… I don’t know her… I wouldn’t recognize her…” no longer works and this is especially true when there is tape. Good luck, Junior.
