Maybe, but this doesn't appear to be an actual example of brazen Trump corruption. The journalist's summary of the lawyer's summary of the ex-congressman's statement appears to be inaccurate to the point of being fake news.

At no time did I talk to President Trump about Julian Assange. Likewise, I was not directed by Trump or anyone else connected with him to meet with Julian Assange. I was on my own fact finding mission at personal expense to find out information I thought was important to our country. I was shocked to find out that no other member of Congress had taken the time in their official or unofficial capacity to interview Julian Assange. At no time did I offer Julian Assange anything from the President because I had not spoken with the President about this issue at all.
