In a reversal, the White House acknowledged President Donald Trump offered what it said was fatherly advice to his eldest son about a statement explaining a June 2016 meeting with a Russian attorney believed to be bringing Kremlin-supplied dirt on Hillary Clinton. However, the president’s top spokeswoman said Tuesday the elder Mr. Trump did nothing wrong.

Mr. Trump’s team initially denied the president was personally involved in drafting the statement, but a Washington Post article published Monday evening — citing multiple sources — paints him as its primary author. Mr. Trump dictated the statement to Hope Hicks, one of his closest advisers, on Air Force One as he returned from a G-20 summit in Europe, according to the Post report.

One of the attorneys helping lead the president’s outside legal team, however, denied Mr. Trump played any role in crafting Mr. Trump Jr.’s statement, which the son eldest later clarified, during a July 16 television interview.

“I do want to be clear — the president was not involved in the drafting of the statement and did not issue the statement,” Jay Sekulow told NBC News last month. “It came from Donald Trump Jr. … It was, in fact, from him and I believe it was his lawyer was in consultation.”
