Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday it was "wild" that U.S. President Donald Trump's eldest son was blamed for meeting a Russian lawyer that emails show might have had damaging information about Hillary Clinton last year.
"I learned with surprise that a Russian lawyer, a women, is being blamed and Trump's son is being blamed for meeting. For me, this is wild," Lavrov said during a visit to Brussels.
"Because when any person speaks to a lawyer, what problem or threat could be there? I didn't know about this, I learned about it from television."
