That statement read, we primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children. President trumps lawyers admit that the president did dictate that misleading statement. But they did say this. I do want to be clear that the president was not involved in making a statement or issuinging a statement. It came from donald trump jr. Thats what we know. Why the changing stories, why did the president say that he had nothing to do with meeting with the russian lawyers when he did. I said that in my statement, i have talked about that before, that happens when you have cases like this. I think its very important to point out, that in a situation like this, you have over time facts develop. Thats what investigations do. Cnn White House CorrespondentBoris Sanchez is in new jersey where the president is spending
his summer break. Why is the legal team bringing up that meeting this weekend . Skb reporter because that meeting at trump tower in 2016 could present legal issues for the president and his son and soninlaw Jared Kushner. I think that trump is concerned about the source of and that concern is part of the reason that the president has had these agitated aggressive acts against Robert Mueller recently. Part of that tweet that you mentioned dismissed these reports, but he essentially made clear that the nature of that meeting in trump tower was not what the administration initially signaled back when we heard from donald trump junior suggesting that it was about adoptions. Look, we have heard President Donald Trump going from saying that to the best of his knowledge, no one on his
campaign, no one he knew had anything to do with russia, to today hearing from him and his legal team, suggesting that that meeting was not illegal, not improper and that loose is not a crime. Heres more from jay sekulow, one of the president s attorneys. He said totally legal done in politics all the time. But the information that Robert Mueller has said that this was a meeting to get information about Hillary Clintons campaign, how would that be legal . The ultimate question is how would it be illegal . The question is here would the meeting itself constitute a violation of the law . Reporter now anna, we learned last week, that Robert Mueller is really focussing on trying to secure an interview with one of the key figures involved in that 20167, and that
The latest news and information from around the world with host Ana Cabrera. Difficult to deal with. And so, especially when you have staked out a position that may have looked good at the time but now is completely contradicted by the facts. Sources close to the white house say the president has been in that public frenzy over the Russian Investigation because hes worried about what mueller may have on his son, don trump jr. , should he be worried . Yes, he should, because its been my obserbservatioobservati have any inside information, but my observation as somebody whos done this for quite a while is they clearly are honed in on this meeting, they clearly, the two people who are in the most jeopardy or would seem to be in the most jeopardy are Jared Kushner and don jr. And i always, from a personal standpoint, see a direct correlation between his Witch Hunt Tweets and his tweets about the nfl national anthem, whenever he feels like theyre closing in on his family. I mean theres a direct correlation. All right, mark geragos, as
investigation, he has under mined the Intelligence Agencies, 19 Intelligence Agencies that said that russia interfered with our election. So all of this is in that context. And if you look at the fact that he is now, its not clear whether hes going to sit down with Robert Mueller or not, you have to ask what is he afraid of. And if he refuses to sit down with Robert Mueller, and he does get subpoenaed, then obviously this case goes all the way to the supreme court. This is, you know, this is a very, very serious challenge to our democracy, frankly, and to the truthfulness of this administration. Let me ask you about the fact that in this case, jay sekulow corrected the record. Might that give you some hope that theyre being truthful with the Special Counsel Team . The problem is theyre only correcting the record because Something Else has been said that has contradicted what he said to start with. So it doesnt really help if
someone lies or misleads, and then the truth comes out and theyre put in a position where the only thing they can say is well i didnt know. I thought that was true. I made a mistake. That also poses challenges for the president himself for his Legal Counsel to essentially be admitting to whatever it is hes admitting to. So on every level it doesnt help at all and im not sure that jay sekulow had another option other than to say that, but he looks absolutely uncredible, as does sarah sanders, and donald trump jr. I think is in big trouble. Donald trump jr. Testified under oath before the Senate Judiciary committee. A lot of things about this meeting that are now coming out to be untrue and i do think that your previous speaker who said when he sees a correlation between the president s details about the nfl and what is happening around the Mueller Investigation closing in and donald trump jr. , you know, that is true, i mean the other area
that he does that with is immigration. I mean the minute something starts to get hot for the president , he turns his ire to immigrants and tries to use other divisive images to try to sway the publics view and perspective than on the actual crisis. His base likes the issue of immigration as far as the policy itself. Before i move on to immigration, i do want to ask you about this phrase were hearing from Rudy Giuliani and others, collusion is not a crime. Technically you eetheyre righ. You cant be charged with a quote, unquote collusion charge. Do you think thats a Strong Defense . No, and again, this is, you know, they are trying to mislead, because that may be technically correct, but what theyre not saying is that
forei foreign essentially if donald trump jr. Met with the russians in order to get Opposition Research from the russians on a hillary clinton, then that is a Foreign Government providing information, that is a crime. There are all sorts of crimes tied with what they are saying is happening. It may pull the wool over peoples eyes just for a little bit until it comes out that there are lots of crimes tied into this meeting and what is now being uncovered about what happened in that meeting. So they can continue to say that, honestly they keep saying things they then have to go back and change later, the president s tweets, which i cant imagine any attorney that is actually has any influence over the president would have told them that was a good idea to tweet that. But we know this president doesnt listen to advisers or attorneys. Based on what Rudy Giuliani
is saying the president has control over the Public Relations part and attacking the lawyer. Let me move on to this immigration issue. There are close to 500 parents who were separated from their children who still have not even been located. A federal journal sludge slamme Trump Administration for the reality is that for every parent who is not located, there will be a permanent orphaned child. That is 100 the responsibility of the administration. Congresswoman, what kind of a wakeup call has this situation been for the administration and their zero tolerance policy, has it moved the needle at all . It really has not moved the needle. The reality is the administration has missed every Court Ordered deadline. The judge is absolutely right that there are almost actually 600 children who have not been reunited and its outrageous,
prepostero preposterous, i cant even find the words for how outrageous it makes me for saying now its the aclus fault, or not fault but responsibility, but they said responsibility for reuniting them. This administration instituted the zero tolerance policy. And as a result there are hundreds and hundreds of children who may be orphaned and whose parents have been deported to other countries and the Trump Administration has done nothing to respond to that situation. And as you know, ana, i was the first to go and meet with some of these parents just south of seattle, so this has shaunt hau. Their stories, what has happened to them. And now we have to acknowledge the stories of those that are coming out of these Detention Centers and the stories of being
told that they were abang d baby their parents, by their mothers, i heard that directly from a child. And stories about children who were abused in these Facilit Fa Sand a 6yearold child who was asked to sign a paper that said it was her responsibility to stay away from the person who abused her in that facility. This is kidnapping of children, and frankly it is state sponsorsponsor ed violence. These families and these children deserve to be paroled in. It because frankly they are victims of the state sponsored violence. Congresswoman, thank you for your time, i appreciate it. Thank you, anna. Still more questions than answers about what the president knew and when he knew it regarding that meeting at trump tower with russians. And then questions surround that

new information this weekend about the young russian woman who is now in jail accused of using her connections to spy on the high profile republican lawmakers, governors, leaders at the nra. Her lawyers and russian official s insist that buttina is nothing but a gun rightsed a slow cat. She is a spy who managed to get into the same room as donald trump. Im visiting from russia, my question to be about foreign politics. Reporter thats how close this accused russian spy got to
thencandidate donald trump in 2015, at freedom fest in las vegas, her name is maria buttina. I believe i would get along very nicely with putin, okay . Reporter that same woman now being charged with conspiracy as an agent of the russian government. The 29yearold russian law student of an american university, used buttina, once posed with a pistol wearing stilettos and leather for risque russian gq magazine shoot. And at the nra convention, she managed to meet gop candidate scott walker and at a prayer breakfast, once again in the same room as donald trump. Buttina has pleaded not guilty,
and her lawyer insists shes no spy, just one looking to create a better relationship between this two meetings. But prosecutors tell a different story. They say buttina came to this country in 2014, not earlier, sle she was issued a student visa in august of 2016. Cnn National Security correspondent Matthew Rosenberg is with us now, he is also a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter. On the front page of todays new york times. So matthew, im so glad to talk to you. This young woman, just 29 years old, she was meeting, taking photos bobby jindal, skocott waters, how was she able to get inside this republican political circle . I think we have to understand that she had two americans she was very close with. One was her boyfriend, who is a 50something republican operative from south dakota, who had long served on the american assertive union. She also had become close to george rockefeller, who kind of wants to pull america out of its wars and thinks we should have better ties with russia. What was she actually doing . Its hard to say. If she was a russian agent, she wasnt very good under cover. Facebook, instagram, shes checking in from russia house, not exactly a subtle place. She was Riding Shirtless on a horse. So its a very confusing case, and the evidence the governments presented so far, is if not unconvincing, its not, doesnt quite say oh, yeah, obviously shes working for the russian government. Her lawyer says she was never paid by any russian government
official, she never took any money from russian government officials. As you point out, her facebook as a picture of a shirtless vladimir putin. She would brag about her contacts with the russian government. So she was open about her russian connections. But i know you got a hold of some of her emails, do they give a himpnt on what her intentions were. No, but it really gives a hint on what these mens intentions were. From Mark Stafford as you pointed out. So many others, to the point where she has pictures, a picture of her with don jr. , donald trump jr. , in 2016 in louisville at an nra dinner. And there was a man she worked closely with, he tried to set up
a meeting. You really get the sense of somebody who net worked really well, and kind of worked her way quickly up to the very top of the Republican Party. Just how close was she to the trump campaign, because i know she had some interactions with j. D. Gordon because she was an aid on his National Security team. She went to a stix concert with him a few days before the election. Her boyfriend, Hapaul Erickson his name, he kind of formally helped a vised on people who could fit into a trump presidency, but wasnt really at the center of it.

My sister is trying to spread the word as mump as we can. Just trying to hold it together as they fight to bring mollie home. Its when youre alone and you talk to mollie about herself. Laura talks about how she can feel mollies presence, about how she feels like shes sitting on her shoulder. Do you have that sense . When you talk to mollie and you know why were fighting, shes out there, we just feel it. Reporter do you ever feel like you hear back from her . I dont want to talk about
it. Reporter last week, mollie was dropped off at a boyfriends house to dog sit while he was out of town. Later she was seen jogging. But neighbors say they used to see her all the time. She would come down the road and if i was over there working on my flowers, i would, you know, she would just wave and say hi and off she would go because thats the house right down there. Thats where her boyfriend lives. Right down there, that white house. Its just like this girl right now. Now i Pay Attention to what they have on, you know, shes got a headband, shes talking on her shoes. But before we never would pay any attention, we would just glance and wave. Reporter they were some of the first volunteers who searched for molly. Which went to corn field and walked Corn Field Searching and question didnt turn up anything. We wanted to find her so bad,
but then we were afraid to find her. I mean, you know. Well, if we had found her, we were praying that she was tied up. We wasnt thinking of the worst. Her Boyfriend Dalton has a hard time being at his house now. I dont go to my room anymore because that was, you know, our shared space.

I have been totally honest with people and i Dont Square Wh care what they think. Ive the guy that did it is standing right here, Pay Attention to suspicious activity. Because if youre not helping, youre hurting at this point. Every day i feel mollies presence with me, sometimes i
just feel her sitting on my shoulder. Hang in there, mollie, were fighting like hell, the whole country is in love with you, pie, well find you. Reporter where does pie come from.

One is from cleveland, ones on tv, one is in congress, oh, wait. Then you have added this brown hand. So you clearly felt this was the trump dog whistle on race. Explain. If you dont see this as racist, i would ask you to please go get your vision checked. Its also remember, were not talking this, you know, in a vacuum. Its not the one instance when donald trump has said something that is a dog whistle, a racist dog whistle. Lets not forget the shithole comment about countries with predominantly black populations. Lets not forget saying about football players, get that son of a bitch off the field. He went after lebron james and don lemon because of an
interview about an s. T. E. M. School that lebron james has founded in a community in need, an atrisk community in his hometown of cleveland. Neither lebron james nor don lemon started life with A Million Bucks from their daddy. Neither don lemon nor lebron james started life because their daddy got them dressed. These are guys that came out of poverty, that did it on their own, that worked hard as hell, that are smart, that dont lie to the American People on a daily basis and are finding ways to make America Great today and do things to contribute to the community theyre a part of. I have seen don lemon, who is a friend of mine, do so much for charity work, for philanthropy. Lebron james is another one. No doubt they are successful people. You bring up so many good points
about the character of don, of lebron james, who i admire, i dont know him personally, but Trump Supporters ive seen on twitter arguing that this isnt about race, hes an equal opportunity attacker, he doesnt just attack people of color. He called steve bannon sloppy steve, he attacks his attorney general. Do you think this is different . Yeah, i do. It seems to me that when it comes to africanamericans, when it comes to black people, he seems to go to the low iq dumbest person in the world attack quite often. It is his goto when it comes to africanamericans, that they are dumb. That is certainly not the case. Don lemon and lebron james have got far better vocabulary and grammar skills than donald trump does. Look, forget whether they are what they are, and everything theyve done. Donald trump is the president of the united states. And hes going on twitter, this platform with 50some Million People that follow him, to
attack a man like lebron james and don lemon who are examples of what makes America Great, who are examples of americans that give back, who are examples of americans that persevere, who embody American Values and the american dream. How dare he. How dare he. You think about it and you realize, look, theres only one thing that donald trump cares about, and that is his base. Pandering to his base, energizing his base. Because you are a longtime republican, but one that has broken with trump. So i know youre not surprised to see these comments by this president. But are you surprised by how many in your party, 87 still support this president and have stood behind this president despite his divisive approach to race . I am surprised. And frankly, less about the divisive approach to race and more about the fact that they look the other way when it comes
out that hes having an affair with a Playboy Bunny and a stripper at the same time just after his wife gave birth. And they look the other way. Certainly if they look the other way about something that is such a pillar for the Republican Party, the idea of Family Values and religious beliefs, its not surprising that they would look the other way on Something Like race division. I have been heartbroken time and time and time again at just the kind of things that the Republican Party base will look the other way about, will pretend did not happen, will say its not what we are seeing, do not believe your lying eyes. Whether its charlottesville, whether its tweets like this, whether its his personal values, whether its his slobbering over russia, whether its his calling the European Union foes, whether its his attacks on the free press. And yes, the republican base, it
seems to me there is no bar. There is no bar high enough. There is nothing that he can do that at this point will turn off that base. I think they are emotionally invested in him. They see him as their ugly baby but its their baby so nobody better tell them hes an ugly baby. They see it as a tribal fight, us versus them. Are you going to vote democrat in the coming midterms . I think so. Certainly in some districts. I think its going to be a cost. Here in florida where i am, it seems to be practically every race, whether republican or democrat, hinges on donald trump right now. The republican primaries are about who is more trumplike, who is more liked by trump. In the democratic primary, it is about who will confront trump the most. Im talking for even things like governor. Theres dead fish washing up on the shores of florida by the
thousan thousands. Theres a contest about who is closest to trump. Ana navarro, thank you so much, i always appreciate your points on the show, thank you for joining me.
