there was no adviser there. it was just trump. for him not to say then afterwards oh, by the way, let me give you a quick debrief on the meeting i had with putin, that s exceptionally unusual. reporter: trump s meeting came soon after justice department officials had moved to open a probe into trump for potential obstruction of justice. an investigation that included trying to answer a disturbing question. was trump making moves designed to benefit russia or was he merely an innocent party? there s no indication trump knew at the time that he was under investigation. after trump s double face to face with putin in hamburg, he headed back to the u.s. aboard air force one trump and his advisers hashed out a statement to respond to the new york times. according to the statement, in donald trump jr. s name, we primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children in the 2016 meeting with the russian lawyer. days later it came out that the lawyer had actually promised d
