up and you can t sort of do one thing here without the effect happening over here. so bottom line, we re not there yet. well, as trump said, it s complicated. it is indeed, to say the least. rick newman, thank you very much. up next, a republican operative who tried to get hillary clinton s missing e-mails during the campaign died just ten days after speaking to the wall street journal. we are now learning about a note left behind. more on that next. plus ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, weighs in on the breaking news that more people attended that controversial meeting with president trump s son, don junior. stay with us. he spent decades fighting to give families a second chance. but to help others, they first had to protect themselves. i have afib. even for a nurse, it s complicated. and it puts me at higher risk of stroke. that would be devastating. i had to learn all i could to help protect myself. once i got the facts, my doctor and i
this. so, chuck grassley wanted to know whether or not he had registered as a foreign agent for his lobbying activities and work over the past two decades. that seemed to be very much aligned with russian interests. he s been a lobbyist mostly for interests aligned with the post-soviet states, not necessarily for russia in and of itself, but then last year, he got involved with this russian lawyer, natalia veselnitskaya, and of course met with donald trump jr. last june at trump tower, and actually she hired him to lobby to repeal the magnitsky act. that gives a little bit more color into who this new individual is who s emerged on to the is scene. right now, a former trump campaign adviser is testifying before the house intel committee. we talk to michael caputo beforehand, why he says there s absolutely no way the campaign colluded with russia. plus, new questions about republican operative who was
that there is a concrete, direct link between people close to the campaign and to russian intelligence, what he knew and when he knew it becomes very critical, and if there was an attempt to potentially cover up or say something untrue or contrary to what he knew, that is very problematic, because again, it points to potential deception at the highest levels of the government. so, timothy, theat this time, t- again, from a legal perspective, i would think that there would be a bigger firewall between even the president and his son to try keep those lines completely separate and not embroil him. but i ve been perplexed by some of the legal moves that have been made in this administration to date, so i guess i can t be really surprised. this is some other new reporting from cnn, john. according to a person who s close to jared kushner, the president s son-in-law, one of his top aides, when he learned of this newly discovered e-mail
there were allegations that he was involved in illegally hacking a rival company and publishing the results of that. i think whether this person has an intel background or not, the message was very clear from the trump campaign. they welcomed the help of the russian government. that message was certainly sent privately by donald trump jr. in those e-mails where he said he would love to get their help. but it was also sent very publicly by the president himself, speaking quite openly, saying, hey, russians, if you re listening, hack hillary clinton s e-mails, you ll be richly rewarded and indeed the russians have been rewarded. but plainly, this russian attorney, this other third party, if they were present, they were there to both deliver a message as well as to receive a message and plainly moscow understood only too well that this is conduct that the trump campaign would really appreciate. reporter: do you know if this
unveiled. so, we know that mitch mcconnell is trying to get to that 50 magic number and this is the group that he is going to be lobbying very, very hard in the next couple of days to try to bring them some relief, some answers, about these deep medicaid cuts that they are very uncomfortable with. we know the president has said, quote, he would be very angry if this bill doesn t pass. any more from the white house today? reporter: well, president trump is obviously out of the country right now but he is making it clear and reminding senate republicans that this is his top priority, health care is the number one thing that he wants to get done. he sent out a series of tweets earlier today, one of them reads, after all of these years of suffering through obamacare, republican senators must come through as they have promised. he also said when that bill is ready, i will be at my desk, pen in hand. now, my colleague over at the white house is reporting that trump, while he was in paris
