NPR falsely claimed that Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2017 conflicted with an account given by a former attorney for President Donald Trump.
Trump Jr. told the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2017 that although there had been negotiations surrounding a prospective Trump Tower in Moscow, they concluded without result 'at the end' of 2014.
Senate investigators were asking Trump Jr. about a series of efforts to develop property in Russia, going back several years.
Q. It's been reported that in late 2015 or 2016 when now President Trump was running for office the Trump Organization was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow.
A hundred pages later, the investigator asks if there was an effort by Felix Sater to "Bring together a development in Moscow." Trump Jr. says he believes there was an effort to work on that with Cohen in 2015.
Then the investigator asks, "In this same time frame, 2015 or 2016, when Mr. Sater and Mr. Cohen were exploring a possible deal, do you know if anyone else was also exploring a deal simultaneously with the Trump Organization to build in Moscow?".
Do you know if they were also exploring building a Trump Tower in Moscow?A. We had looked at it earlier than that, but it sort of faded away I believe at the end of '14.Q. But not in 2015 or 2016?A. Certainly not '16.
