that jeff sessions, now the attorney general was asked. this is what you had to say. take a listen. you ve been in congress a little bit and you re in leadership. have you ever met with the russian ambassador? not with this russian ambassador, no. there s a photo of you in 2010 meeting with ambassador kislyak, part of a meeting you had with dmitry medvedev at the time. there s a big difference. and senator sessions was under oath and the meeting was far more recent than 2010 but is it not possible i expect this what is an innocent mistake by you. we were meeting with the president of russia, he brought an entourage in with him. he was the one who was doing the question. the question is have you met with him? i haven t met with him. i met with the president of russia. who else is in his entourage, who know. presidents, heads of state come in and they bring think party and barely even introduce them
video that said the crude things he said about women. you all are criticizing cedric for something he said in the course of the evening and he may be should be criticized for that. i just don t know the particulars. but i do every day marvel at the fact that somebody who said a gross and crude thing that president trump said wouldn t even be allowed in a frathouse and he s in the white house. well, i think we ve covered the access hollywood tape quite a bit, but i guess the question is if one criticizes only republicans when they make crude comments, does that not undermine the moral authority if they don t criticize when democrats make crude comments. i think everybody was making crude comments. i just don t know. i wasn t at that dinner. but i was at the dinner last night at the gridiron club and we were all, i think, quite, shall we say, respectable. i ll look at what my colleagues said there. but i do think that in the oval
elections. this is a big picture of undermining democracies, not just in our country, although they like undermining ours, and they did have a ren deatha against hillary clinton because she spoke about democracy and democratic elections and the rest. there s no question personally vladimir putin had a vendetta against her. and the russians are right now doing the same thing in some european countries, trying to influence their elections. i want to move on to legislation n.had a speech to a joint session of congress president trump renewed his commitment to child care and paid family leave. take a listen. yeah. my administration wants to work with members of both parties to make child care accessible and affordable, to help ensure new parents that they have paid family leave. paid family leave, had a big democratic priority for a long time. is that something that you could work with the president on in. i certainly hope that. the first conversation that i had with him that wee
news, but if it s not true, then it s also huge news. yeah. and the white house at that point was trying to figure out where it came from. they thought it came from media reports, from breitbart, mark levine, other people like that and ultimately today instead of providing evidence they said, well, we re calling on congress to investigate. it has been report, a story that came out a few days. on heat street. there were a number and the new york times had something written about it and who they said was named in the warrants. a big difference between saying people around trump are exactly. heat street said he was named specifically and that s the only reporting there is on him being named specifically. and that s the thing. and the others were saying, well, maybe it was some individuals associated with him or with the campaign. regardless, it s it s been reported and it s been out there for a little while. there s a big difference. and that s why i had the qu
i have no knowledge of anything of that kind. you were asked on friday if you ve ever met with the russian ambassador along the same ways that jeff sessions, the now attorney general was asked. this is what you had to say. take a listen. you re in leadership. have you ever met with the russian ambassador? not with this russian ambassador, no. video of you in 2010 meeting with ambassador kislyak, it was part of a meeting that you had with dmitry medvedev at the time. i know there s a difference. a big difference. senator sessions was under oath and the meeting was far more recent than 2010. but i suspect this was an innocent mistrach by you no, no, we were meeting with the president of russia. he brought an entourage in with him. he was the one doing the talking. the question is have you met with him. no i haven t met with him. i met with the president of russian. who else is in his entourage?
