run away from him unless interesting thing is it s not the same inside the white house. certainly reporters like us who are calling over there, trying to figure out what is the truth and you can see there s a different versions. everyone knows and they re sniping at each other and blaming each other. this is what s happening inside the white house. they all have a story to tell. i wouldn t get to what jay told jake tapper. this is what he told jake tanner last night. when did president trump find out about this meeting, the full story of this meeting? the full story the emails you re talking very recently and i m not going to give you the nature of the conversation. it was a conversation between his lawyer sdwhz president very, very recently. he wasn t aware today? yesterday? no. it started coming out over the weekend. so within that time frame.
ever. donald trump jr. had gone further saying he had set up no meetings at all, even dismissing accusations at all. we hear experts. his house cat at home once said this is what s happening with the russians. i don t mind a fair fight but the perpetuating of that kind of nonsense to gain political capital is just out dstz rarage. confronted by the new york times with news of a previously undisclosed meeting, donald trump jr. released a statement admitting that meeting did take place. he described it as short and introductory. saying we primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children. but by sunday, after the new york times reported trump
controversy. the pop singer and his father, a real estate developer in russia were helping trump hold his miss universe pageant in moscow later that year. in the video, trump is seen having video with them, along with their publicist, rob goldstone, seen here leaning over to talk with mr. trump. and don jr. released emails from goldstone, pitching a meeting between a president s son and a russian lawyer, promising to deliver damaging information on hillary clinton provided by the russian government. and seen here told goldstone toset up the meeting, kwoelt this is obviously very high level and sensitive information but it s part of russia and it s government s support of mr. trump. the exclusive footage provides a
jr., saying it was quote a tall tale that goldstone asked trump jr. asked him to communicate about dirt on hillary clinton. and along with the former cia chief of russia operations. and part of the world defense had been we don t know where this meeting is coming from. but you see great familiarity with this very powerful russian oligarch and his son who were essential in setting up the meeting. and all along they ve been telling us there were no contacts. in this particular case we ve had the story change three times over the weekend. this story may change again before we finally figure out what actually happened in that meeting. were there any other meetings that maybe were follow ups we haven t learned about yet. so there s a lot of reporting
response was i love it. that was from the way russia operates. was that intentionally explicit, do you think? again too early but it was direct and what really bothered me was how nonchalant donald trump jr. was about that. he wasn t shocked there was information about russia which raises the question had he known from prior conversations that there was an effort out there by russia to seek information? and then the willi ingness to proceed. let s do a phone call immediately. that really bothered me. we know that in the russian play book generally they do like to gather compromising information on people that they re meeting with. so this is the first meeting where we have seen evidence in black and white, where we know the function of the meeting. we know there are other meetings
