More than 60 stores suddenly shutting down. Brides, wedding parties wondering if theyll ever get their dresses, after handing over their cash. Good evening. Its great to have you with us on a friday night. We begin with what we did not know about the meeting at trump tower. There were others in the room after don junior said yes to the emails offering help from the russian government. President trump returning from his trip to france, as his son faces new questions. Tonight, this man, born in russia, a lobbyist once accused of having been a military counterintelligence officer, now acknowledges that he was in that room, too. Tonight, why are we learning now . And were there documents left behind in the room . Heres brian ross tonight. Reporter as the president returned home tonight he was met by an afternoon rainstorm and new questions about whether his son don junior has told the full story of his meeting with the russian lawyer. My son is a wonderful young man. He took a meeting with a russian lawyer, not a government lawyer, but a russian lawyer. Reporter but don junior agreed to the meeting only after emails to him said he would be seeing a russian government attorney with dirt on hillary clinton. And tonight, a major new revelation. In addition to that lawyer coming to trump tower, another person, rinat akhmetshin, once accused of having been a soviet counterintelligence officer, was also in that meeting. He was born in russia and is now a washington lobbyist. Don junior failed to mention him this week when he said he was being fully transparent. Im more than happy to be transparent about it, and im more than happy to cooperate with everyone. So as far as you know, as far as this incident is concerned, this is all of it . This is everything. This is everything. Reporter but it wasnt. At first, the only participants don junior mentioned were himself, trump soninlaw jared kushner, Campaign Chairman paul manafort, the russian lawyer, natalia veselnitskaya, and the Public Relations man for a russian billionaire who set the whole thing up, rob goldstone. Now, we know there were at least two other people in the room, the russianborn lobbyist, plus a russian interpreter. Something the younger trump failed to tell sean hannity when asked a precise question. Did you ever meet with any other person from russia that you know . No, i dont even know. Ive probably met with other people from russia. I mean during the campaign. Certainly not in the context of a formalized meeting or anything like that because why would i . Reporter the russian lobbyist in that trump tower meeting also told the Washington Post today the lawyer left behind documents for the trump team, without saying what was in them. Zero happened from that meeting, and honestly, i think the press made a very big deal over something, that, really, a lot of people would do. Reporter the president says he only learned of the meeting in the last few days, but on the very same day his son agreed to sit down with the russians, candidate trump made this promise. I am going to give a major speech on probably monday of next week and were going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the clintons. I think youre going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. Reporter since then his sons story has been constantly changing. In july of last year, just a month after the meeting, he denied having any knowledge that the russians were trying to help the trump campaign. Its disgusting, its so phony. I cant think of bigger lies, but that just goes to show you what the dnc and the clinton camp will do. Theyll lie and do anything to win. Brian ross with us now. Two quick questions. First, the lobbyist, what do we know about his past . He told the associated press, he did serve in a soviet military unit that did some counterintelligence work, but insists he was in tnot trained spy. And the president beefing up his Legal Counsel . His name is ty cobb, he will be setting up a war room in the white house to respond to the allegations about russia, at taxpayers expense. Brian ross, thank you.

It was so emotional. I started crying and everything. We got the dogs out and we couldnt save anything else. Reporter their home sinking into the mud. Everything is gone. Reporter a little earlier they were calling 911. Theres a sinkhole right next to our neighbors house, and its literally eating the house completely. Reporter within minutes it was crumbling. You see how it expanded to about 225 feet wide by 50 feet deep. So far, 11 neighborhood families evacuated. Grabbing what they could carry as the earth crumbled. You could just see in peoples eyes the anxiety level. Theyre fearful and unfortunately, we cant give clear answers, because this is mother nature. But to everybody in this community, we stand with you. Reporter there were early signs of a sink hole five years ago, but this house was stabilized last year. Officials want to say they want to make sure its stabilized before they drain it. The rains could make the hole even bigger. David . Victor, thank you. As he joins our team. And authorities revealing what they say played out on the property after four young men vanished outside philadelphia. The prime suspect confessing, revealing how he killed his first victim. And investigators now offering other details about what happened. His cousin, also in custody. Allegedly helping him murder the other three men, and allegedly burying them on the property. And now we learn at least one of the men tried to make a run for it, and was shot. Eva pilgrim, at the courthouse tonight. Reporter tonight, prosecutors say cosmo dinardo, the man now charged with killing four men and burying their bodies on his familys farm, lured them with the premise of a drug deal. And they say he had an accomplice. His cousin, sean kratz, arrested overnight. We did find three of those young men buried deep within the ground under an old oil tank that was converted into a cooker, about 12 1 2 feet down. Reporter dean finocchiaro, tom meo, mark sturgis, and jimi patrick had been missing for over a week. Authorities laying out a twisted timeline of events. They say on july 5th, jimi patrick went to dinardos property to buy marijuana. They walked to a remote part of the sprawling farm and dinardo murdered patrick with a. 22 caliber rifle, burying him in a sixfoot hole. Two days later, they say, dinardo meets dean finocchiaro on the property for another pot deal. This time, bringing along sean kratz, they walk to this barn where kratz shoots finocchiaro in the head. Later that day they say dinardo and kratz meet tom meo and mark sturgis at the property, shooting them both in the back. Firing at sturgis as he tries to flee. A neighbor hears the gunfire. It was literally almost like somebody was hunting people down in the woods. Like chasing them, and was really trying to fire enough shots to hit them. Reporter prosecutors say they tried to burn the bodies in a large metal tank, ultimately burying them in that 12foot grave. Im sorry. Reporter dinardo, who has a history of mental illness, apologizing to cameras last night. Eva back with us live. And theyre still hunting for a motive in this case . Reporter thats right. The d. A.
