A chain of emails published Tuesday by Donald Trump Jr., President Trump’s eldest son, raised fresh questions about the Trump campaign’s contact with Russians during the presidential race and placed the White House’s previous denials of such contact under renewed scrutiny.

The emails suggested Trump Jr. pursued what he thought was opposition research about Hillary Clinton from a source connected to the Russian government last year, contradicting his previous claim that the meeting was always intended to focus primarily on adoption.
