The New York Times reported last week that Donald Trump Jr. had arranged a meeting with Russian lawyer to gain damaging information on Hillary Clinton.

Trump Jr. said earlier this week that the meeting ultimately "went nowhere and it was apparent that that wasn’t what the meeting was actually about.”

On Friday it was reported that a Russian-American lobbyist accompanied the lawyer at the meeting as well as a former Soviet counterintelligence officer.

Despite the revelations, U.S. stocks closed out strong on Friday with U.S. stocks reaching record highs on various indexes.

The S&P 500’s index gained 11.44 points rising to 2,459.27, while the Dow gained 84.65 points, and rose to 21,637.74, according to CNN Money.

The Dow has reached 42 all times highs since President Trump was elected in November, while the S&P has reached 33 all-time highs since the election.
