In an interview with reuters, the president says i think many people would have held that meeting. In an email exchange with an acquaintan acquaintance, don junior was told the purpose of the meeting was to provide the Trump Campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate hillary. The information described as high level and sensitive and part of russia and its governments support for mr. Trump. Don juniors response . If its what you say, i love it. Last night, don junior went on fox news to explain in retrospect, i probably would have done things a little differently. For me this was opposition research, they had something, you know maybe concrete evidence to all the stories id been hearing about that were probably unreported for, you know, years, not just during the campaign. So, i just wanted to hear it out. Did you ever meet with any other persons 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 when asked in march by the New York Times whether hed had campaignrelated meetings with russians, donald trump jr.

Forwarded him that email chain with the subject line, line russia clinton private and confidential. What do you say to democrats who say that Jared Kushners security clearance should be revoked .

But david, there is no indication in this interview whether or not the president accepted putins denials. Thank you.

Reporter but natalia vesle net skaia says she is not interested in politics. She is known as a politically connected lawyer, and no stranger to washington. She is in the front row of a hearing on russian sanctions, just five days after she got that meeting at trump tower with top campaign officials, including donald trump jr. He was told she was a russian government attorney bringing damaging information about Hillary Clinton. We asked her about that today. Is that true or false . Listen, she says, i have never had compromising materials on Hillary Clinton. Her only agenda she says, we relieving some u. S. Sanctions. She and trump agree on one thing. That meeting was a bust. He wanted to hear from me, that which i did not tell him, she says. He got disappointed from not hearing it. Today, vesle net skaia insisted she is not an em baa sar. Were you carrying any message or any information from anyone in the russian government to the Trump Campaign . No. No. Reporter you seriously think that if the Russian Confederation could do Something Like that, they would do it through me . Its just funny. Terry joins us from moscow, and you reported the lawyer denies she has a connection to the russian government, saying, quote, im not interested in politics, but how does she explain images like this one of her in washington, d. C. . Reporter its a straking image, and she says she was publicly advocating her position on u. S. Sanctions. Thats not something she would do, she says, if she were a spy. Terry moran in moscow.

Reporter after those oneonone meetings between President Trump and james comey, the new mom knee was asked, what would he do . If the president asked you to do something unlawful or unethical, what would you say . First, i would try to talk him out of it, and if that failed, i would resign. Reporter just today, President Trump defending his son, again saying the investigation into possible collusion with the russians is a witch hunt. Im asking you as the future fbi director. Do you consider this endeavor a witch hunt . I do not consider director mueller to be on a witch hunt. Reporter asked whether he would pledge loyalty to the president my loyalty is to the preside president. Reporter his answer seeming to sway even some democrats.
