jr. decided to put online under pressure. point you re making is fair. don t know if there was conversation between the publicist and donald trump jr., but story keeps changing and other dimensions over time. but fact we re continuing to hear about information a little bit at a time, week after week, means good thing we don t have any idea the scope of what robert mueller is looking at, what he has in possession and in the future. in the e-mails that donald trump jr. did release, seems to indicate he wanted a phone conversation with one of the og lairovs prior to the meeting and no idea if phone call took place but could be something mueller has access to. points out the issue, making sure in investigation if you re potentially a target, get story
issues. but the vast majority i think of republicans, they find some of this reprehensible. the statements. bill brit, appreciate your expertise on alabama politics. we ll continue to check in with you. thank you. entire interview with janet porter is on ac360.com. donald trump jr., infamous meeting with russians. and california wildfires. winds fuelling it only getting stronger tonight. more ahead.

leading up to meeting there was talk on russians providing dirt on hillary clinton and now e-mail traffic after that seems to reference exactly that. goldston and donald trump jr.? no. rob goldston, the british publicist who helped broker the meeting, between him and one of the russians in the room. ike and woman. among those present there. jared kushner as well. separate e-mail that mentioned russia s version of facebook. numerous e-mails between rob goldston, publicist who helped broker the meeting and dan scif evenno, now the social media director for the trump white house. in these series of e-mails
