Biggest threat trump has ever faced or someone named trump or married to a trump. Howie a Washington Post report that don, jr. Was behind the meeting. Hes clearly focused on covering for his son. It certainly tells bob mueller this guy is into a coverup. Washington post reporting the president was personally involved in his sons reaction to the meeting.

Trump and his pressure and move on to something else. Plus a big question. Were your tax dollars used to help the president s son twist the truth . The Washington Post reports that the president while on air force one with the help of taxpayer paid white house aides personally worked with donald trump jr. On a misleading statement about a 2016 trump tower meeting with russians. If thats true, then that was a bad decision by the president , which will make us ask for questions. When you get caught in a lie about one thing, it makes it hard to just say, let the other stuff go. With us to share reporting and insights, Jackie Kucinich of the daly beast. And Bloomberg Politics representative and a cnn correspondent. Took hours for the foulmouthed scaramucci to get the boot and general kelly to impose his rules how to get access to the president. Those rules were told apply to everyone including president ial daughter ivanka trump and president ial soninlaw. If they hold if they hold people
News and a wealthy republican donor to concoct a fake news story about a murdered dnc staffer. His family outraged. Now, tonight, were going to put that donors side of the story to the test. But first up is this latest twisting of the truth on russia. The white house has been denying for weeks that the president had anything to do with that misleading statement about his son don juniors 2016 meeting with a russian attorney. The statement claiming the meeting was primarily about adoption of russian children. The president s own attorney was asked specifically about that by me on new day. Heres what he said. So he didnt have anything to do with the statement that don junior put out that was being worked on with his team . No, the statement that don junior put out, are you talking about yesterdays, chris . The one over the weekend. That was written that was written, no, that was written by doonld trump junior im sure in consultation with his lawyer. Then came the Washington Post reporting
Something to do with that statement donald trump jr. Made about the meeting with the russian lawyer. He certainly didnt dictate but, you know, he like i said, he weighed in, offered suggestion like any father would do. Not exactly like any father would do. A former d. C. Detective suing fox news, alleging they misquoted him about the death of a dnc employee and drops a bombshell claim about the white house. The president has reviewed this story and wants it out there. And 30 minutes from now, the opening bell on wall street. The dow at record highs and poised to strike 22,000. Our stock market has reached an alltime high today. Alltime high. Think of it, nobody ever talks about it. Mr. President , we talk about it every day and were going to begin with the administrations 180degree turn on whether or not the president had a role in drafting his sons russia statement. His lawyer said no now his press secretary says yes. Or at least, well, maybe. And still they say it is no big deal. You
Introductory meeting. I asked jared and paul to stop by. We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children that were active and popular with American Families years ago and since ended with the russian government. It was not a Campaign Issue at the time and there was no followup. I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance but was not told the name of the person i would be meeting with beforehand. Its been revealed that statement was not accurate. The meeting in question was much longer than a short introductory and we know that later from the emails donald junior published himself that the original stated purpose of the meeting was to pass along dirt on Hillary Clinton from the russian government to help the Trump Campaign. That offer caused trump junior to write back, i love it. So we know that what the president s son went to that appointment, what he was expecting was not, as his statement later said, a short introduction and some talk about adoption.
