about whether or not donald trump jr. would have a meeting or e-mails like this and not tell his father. we had some people respond and the other guys just in e-mail, it says what do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to emin about it directly. i can also send this information to your father. but it s ultra sensitive so i wanted to send it to you first. i got to go you got to make it really quick. okay the e-mails were discovered by jared kushner s lawyer in lay june. so it s been known inside the white house for three or four weeks now. god david, quick. the other question is what signal did they send to the russians by taking this meeting? did they signal to the russians that they wanted to play ball with them. yeah. thank you all.
possible umbrella here because of this meeting. we know he lied about the fact that the meetingin took place on his national security form. i just filled out one of those for a couple months ago for a case that i had. there s no way that any normal person would read that firm and not know that you d have to report aefr single matter, any too many you appellate with a foreign financial, particularly a russian. now you got a high level of material yalt of why he lied. you gotter yalt and motivate. so he s really in the hot se seat go on quickly. name them what do you see they are? there s treason and the logan act. how is it how is i treason? do you think that s putting the cart ahead of the horse now?
screwed up his business deals in russia. number two, when you see these e-mails and you see how close they were to the krim len and they re being used to pass along this information from the russian government, it shows just how close these relationships were and i think helps shed light on what was going on here. april, cnn spoke with the russian lawyer on natalia about this meeting, take a look and then i want your response. translator: when it was suggested that i meet with donald trump jr. i met him in a provide situation. it was a private meeting not related at all that it was the son of the candidate. the information i had was spell out it was the same for even including donald trump jr., who had listened to my story, didn t understand based on our conversation how he could help me. when you hear what she s
what s your reaction? it was a stupid meeting to take and i m sure in retrospect he wishes he wouldn t have taken it. it is time for him to make a strong statement that he understands and acknowledges there was russian meddling in the election. he needs to reaffirm he agrees with the transparency pledges his family and staff have made. they ve all said they d talk to investigators. if he d take a couple of those steps tomorrow or this week, that would show that the white house is taking this seriously. what do you think about the response from republicans today? are you happy with it or no? no, i m not happy with it. i think republicans have got to do more. they have to show leadership. i m talking about republican leaders specifically. but donald trump is playing the 35% game. he wants to protect his base, protect his core support, as long as he does that by throwing them red meat on policy issues, which he continues to do, he ll have protection in the house. i think this is a b
egregious it harms his ability to keep saying the russian issue is a hoax. if he can t say that or things like that, then i think it impairs his ability to continue to have his base think that there s nothing to this. over time this has an effect. and also to get things done in washington. if this continues on. and this certainly does hurt that. ali alice, you supported president trump all along, and i respect you for that. and you are a straight shooter, but at what point does it become too much for you when you look at this? is this a bridge too far or what? this is yet another chip away at the credibility of this administration. i think it may fall short of any kind of criminal wrongdoing or something further as to your previous guests were talking about, but the problem is the denials of a meeting in the first place and then saying it was about russian adoption and explaining away every other version of the truth until we
