because of it. because of the last nine months, ten months. since it really became a thing. i think there is an element of context to that. it wasn t this big news story at the time. sean: what did you know about emin s father? with at the pageant? donald jr.,: they had successful real estate developments out there. i maintained a casual relationship, talked about some potential deals. that was the extent of it. sean: what do you know about this russian lawyer? donald jr.,: i didn t know anything about it. that acquaintance sent me this email. as a courtesy to him, i said, let s meet. i didn t know who i was meeting before hand. i never got the information until they were in the room. sean: at any point were you told during a phone conversation or otherwise what they might tell you? what goldstone seemed to be
we were all there. i was sitting there listening as a courtesy to my acquaintance who had set up the meeting. and in his own words, you can hear what he said. he played it earlier. he apologized to me walking out of the meeting, basically for wasting my time. sean: you did say at the end of your statement, the entire meeting with the most inane nonsense i had ever heard. and i am actually agitated by it. he called to apologize to you? donald jr.,: there wasn t really a follow-up because there was nothing there to follow up. he said listen, i m sorry for that. there was some puffery to the email. perhaps to make the meeting happen. in the end, there is probably some bait and switch about what it was really supposed to be about. there is nothing there. sean: she is saying she had no information to provide. do you remember what she suggested, that you were pressing her for information? donald jr.,: i imagine i did. i was probably pressing because

you remember? donald jr.,: no. sean: let me go back to what tim kaine said. if you wanted it released later in the summer, you think that s unusual for a campaign to want op research i will get to the ukrainian official, especially in light of this coverage donald jr.,: i think we had more important things to worry about. i m sitting there, indiana had probably just happened. i am hearing about contesting convention. we are going to fight. this is the first time we have done. i am still way off the learning curve. yeah, i wanted to hear the information. if there s information out there, you want it. if there was something that came from it that was shady, a danger to national security, i would obviously bring it right to someone but it turns out it was nothing. there was nothing to be able to actually talk about. sean: the whole contact took how long? donald jr.,: 20 minutes.
