campaign $273,000 to the trump victory committee. he s an american citizen born in russia and our reporting in conjunction with our colleagues at the guardian newspaper shows that he has deep ties to moscow. ties that put him on the radar of u.s. federal investigators and what s more disturbing, we uncovered an e-mail exchange during the election between this big trump donor and a high ranking russian official who he calls dear slava. dear slava i was at dinner with donald trump. i think his chances are very good. in photo is america s most respected mayor rudy giuliani. that e-mail really made my blood run cold because there s so little said and yet so much conveyed. what is conveyed? to me what s conveyed is i
trump? absolutely. after reading this e-mail exchange, i have nary a doubt. we obtained those emails from a london based authenticate th. we asked putin about them. he regrets making those contributions which apparently attracted the attention of federal investigators. we reached out to the trump campaign and they tell us kukas never had a role in the campaign. back to you. you can watch richard this sunday at 10:00 p.m. coming up we ll talk to senator sheldon whitehouse. mo morning joe is coming right back. morning joe is coming right back
in june with jaired kushner and don junior. we know don junior entering into that meeting in trump tower in june that manafort attended was one in which he was promised dirt on hillary clinton. so that s one category of question. he s also going to ask him about his relationship with a man who was a foreign russian military intelligence officer he worked with and he had an e-mail exchange with him in april of 2016 about getting to one of the oligarchs. he s very close to putin. wondering if they understood what position paul manafort was now in and whether he could essentially buy some peace. all of those are going to be questions that we know that mueller is going to be asking. and we don t know what else mueller knows as a result of conversations with manafort that we may not even be in the public
court can always overrule its precedent. kavanagh down played the e-mail exchange and tried to clarify. i think it was overstating something about legal scholars. i am always concerned with accuracy. i thought that was not quite accurate description of all legal scholars because it referred to all. to your point, your broader point, roe v wade is an important precedent of the supreme court. reporter: kavanagh faced further questions with an exchange from harris, also a possible 2020 candidate late wednesday night. have you discussed mueller or his investigation at anyone at the law firm founded by president trump s personal lawyer? i need to know i m not sure i know everyone who works at that law firm. i think you need to know who you talked to.
problem is that rudy giuliani, the president s personal attorney now, is doing a lot of these things without the white house knowing what s happening. and don mcgahn is trying to save himself. rudy giuliani is the wild card. you don t know what to expect. i ve said this before. sarah huckabee sanders got upset. they re just not knowing what s going on with what rudy giuliani is doing. she s saying rudy giuliani is saying he s worried the president is going to make inconsistent statements. that s exactly what rudy giuliani is doing. he s changing his story about trump tower. he s changing his story about whether there was collusion. even if there is, it s not incapsulated in the federal code, which is technically incorrect. a lot of misdirection, a lot of unforced errors here. giuliani goes on television and doesn t even know a lot of the facts involving that trump tower meeting in june of 2016 when the russians were pitching an idea to help the president get dirt on hillary clinton
