was there with his translator. was that translator excused? did he pass written notes to mr. putin and to the russian translator so that our translator would not see it? i don't know. but there's something that is very, very puzzling about this. i am concerned because i know how manipulative the russians are and mr. putin is. and as the special counsel's investigation continues to go forward, we are going to find out the facts, as bob mueller uncovers them, about whether or not there were individuals that were very close to mr. trump and in the campaign who were actively abetting and aiding the russian efforts to interfere in that election. >> why did july 27th, 2016, that press conference where he asked russia to hack into hillary clinton's e-mails, why did that raise so many red flags? >> because it was basically overt collusion, encouraging the russians to try to find her e-mails. and so we see, you know, collusion in plain sight.
