As a memo from one adviser read in 1970: “The lens through which our message gets through is a distorted lens,” therefore “we ought to give consideration to ways

and Jeanine Pirro — whose interview with Donald Trump Jr. on Saturday coincided with her attendance at the baby shower for Mr. Trump’s sister-in-law, Lara Trump.
