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.

Head into that lunch. The clicking of those shutters would indicate you probably have a shot of the president coming down the hallway. There he is. With actually John Barrasso and mitch mcconnell. So theyre heading in to this luncheon with republican senators. We also saw several Top White House staffers here on capitol hill, john kelly, the chief of staff, gary cohen, whos been a key part of the tax reform talks. Mark short, his legislative director. And Sarah Huckabee sanders, who to my knowledge is a relatively rare presence up here on capitol hill, so all of them coming to try to hammer out these final details. I would say the president s role in this is typically one of cheerleader. I mean, he and the white house often say hes here to crack a deal. Im not sure i would necessarily characterize it that way behind the scenes. Although i would say Mitch Mcconnells office is attempting today to do that in public. They put out a statement. Its unrelated or rather legislatively policywis

Rosenstein also said, quote, i committed i would ensure the investigation was appropriate and independent and reached the right result whatever it may be. I believe i have been faithful to that. Rosensteins interview coming on the same day that the Justice Departments top ally in the west wing, white House Counsel don mcgahn, departs his post. Rosensteins comments about the Mueller Investigation also coincide with a new report from abc news that confirms that prosecutors are actively investigating possible collusion between trumps associates and russia. From that abc report, quote, prosecutors from special counsel Robert Muellers office have been asking former Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort, their newest cooperating witness, about his friend and former business associate roger stone. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter. Muellers interest in stoen stone appears to be focused on whether stone or his associates communicated with Julian Assange or wikileaks about the re
