The SMH argues that it's hard to believe Mr Trump had no knowledge of the infamous meeting involving two of his nearest and dearest as well as his campaign chair, therefore Mr Trump will have to answer for what he knew and when.


The revelation that Donald Trumps son, Trump's campaign manager at the time, Paul Manafort, and son-in-law Jared Kushner, now a top White House adviser met with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer, expecting to get a delivery of dirt on Hillary Clinton has gained global media attention.

The SMH raises the following questions: what did the President know, and when did he know it? How long can the Trump presidency last? How much more damage will it inflict on the institutions of American democracy? By how much will it hasten America's decline as a global power?

The paper points out that the Trump camp's actions and its dishonesty are delivering a massive blow to trust in the US Presidency at home and abroad. It also explains that legal experts suggest Donald Trump jnr's agreement to and attendance of the June 2016 meeting was probably illegal and maybe even treason.
