Oh, is this the latest Faux News party line?

In any event this doesn't get  Donnie Jr off the hook. He didn't have to meet with a Russian government official. 

The law states that no person shall knowingly solicit or accept from a foreign NATIONAL any contribution to a campaign of an item of value,”

The statute in question is 52 USC 30121, 36 USC 510 — the law governing foreign contributions to US campaigns. 

"A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election."

The crucial phrase here is “other thing of value,” legal experts tell me. It means that the law extends beyond just cash donations. Foreigners are also banned from providing other kinds of contributions that would be the functional equivalent of a campaign donation, just provided in the form of services rather than goods.
