to contradicts that. what we have seen, a sideline, mr. aguilera, the oligarcoligar there s been reporting about that that trump wrote a letter to putin during that time. but this contradicts the late statements that he wasn t that interested in vladimir putin didn t know him very well. he was very interested in meeting vladimir putin in 2013 at the miss universe pageant. except, the sidebar is that this guy tried to set up the meeting with putin and the meeting didn t happen. well, then that could mean that trump wasn t interested in 2. no the meeting clearly didn t happen because on other reporting because vladimir putin s team didn t make it happen. but trump clearly wanted the meeting, stephanie. okeydoke. walks through, i see the ap is
and paul manafort also sitting in on this meeting. so, we re hoping to learn more details about this meeting which a lot of people say looms large, at least in establishing the intent of the trump campaign in incriminating information about hillary clinton. i got to ask you, how does the white house feel about this transcript being released? you know, we have not heard from them but it can t be a great day for the white house anytime we re focusing on this kind of a subject. well, we don t know the answer to that yet, because we don t know what s in the transcript. ken, i know you ll bring that to us as soon as you see what s in it. and now the other massive story, north korea threatening to walk away with that historic summit with president trump. it seems like it happened fast. it certainly did, all within the last 24 hours. it was just before noon on tuesday that we got word that north koreans were cancelling a high-level meeting with south korea that was supposed to take pl
showed don junior being asked about his july 8th statement, the one in which he claimed the meeting was solely about russian adoptions. when asked if his father had helped draft that statement. he said, i don t know. i never spoke to my father about it. remember, the post had reported that president, quote, personally dictated that statement. don junior is later asked if the president provided any edits or input for that statement. he relies, quote, he may have comments through hope hicks. remember, hope hicks had been on president trump s communication team by his side, since the beginning of the campaign. she left the white house, i want to say a couple months ago. possibly the day after she spoke to the committee. and we ve got more breaking news, moments ago the senate intelligence committee voted to advance gina haspel as president s trump to be cia director setting up a full senate vote for some time next week.

breaking news. learning brand-new details from the judiciary transcripts into that june 2016 trump tower meeting between trump campaign officials and a russian lawyer. you have new information on jared kushner and it s important to explain that jared did not sit for an interview, he just schmitted a statement? that s correct. there s a reminder there are many of them that did interviews with the intel committee meeting. he i can submitted a written statement in which he describes his participation in that meeting as brief. he says he arrived ten minutes late and that he was so bored by the proceedings that he was e-mailing his assistant saying give me a call so i have an excuse to leave the room. that s respectful. so that lines up with what we ve heard from other participants on the trump campaign side who have tried to portray this meeting as a nothing burger, there was nothing in it for them. there was another transcript that was revealed that showed that paul manafort was loo
