Trump's role in crafting a misleading statement for his son could spell more legal trouble for the White House

The Washington Post said President Donald Trump "dictated" a misleading statement about his son's meeting with a Russian lawyer. Could it mean legal trouble?

President Donald Trump personally "dictated" a misleading statement about his son's meeting with a Russian lawyer last year that said they primarily "discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children," The Washington Post reported Monday, a move experts say could put the White House at fresh legal risk.

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Monday that the episode would likely signal "consciousness of guilt" to federal and congressional investigators.
