>> when you looked at her, it's like-- >> reporter: whoa. >> like an electrical shock. this is the "cbs evening news." >> mason: this is our western edition. good evening, i'm anthony mason. there was a bigger crowd than we knew at that now infamous trump tower meeting involving donald trump, jr. the associated press says it also included a russian-american lobbying to have u.s. sanctions against the kremlin lifted. a man thought to have ties to russian intelligence. that's in addition to the president's son-in-law jared kushner, trump campaign chairman paul manafort, and the russian lawyer who reportedly was offering dirt on hillary clinton. the publicist who arranged the meeting, rob goldstone, has now told the a.p. he was there, too. major garrett is at the white house. >> reporter: rinat akmetshin, seen here in this russian news report, was born in the former soviet union and served in its military. he has suspected ties to russian intelligence. akmetshin, now a u.s. citizen, lobbies to lift anti-russian sanctions. he was unavailable for comment today at his washington, d.c. residence. akmetshin has worked with the russian lawyer natalia veselnitskaya, who secured the meeting with donald trump, jr. under the pretense of providing damaging information about hillary clinton. onmetshin's presence raises more d estions about who attended the meeting, and undercuts trump, r .'s explanation earlier this week. so as far as you know, as far as this incident is concerned, this is all of it? >> this is everything. this is everything. >> reporter: cbs news has fedrned president trump was p,iefed about the trump, jr. meeting three days before it was disclosed in the "new york times," though it seems he was not aware there were more people in the room than initially reported. >> it was a meeting that went pery, very quickly, very fast. two other people in the room, they-- i guess one left almost thmediately and the other one was not really focused on the meeting. >> reporter: mr. trump is referring to campaign manager paul manafort and mr. trump's non-in-law jared kushner now a senior white house advisor. cbs news has confirmed that he has revised his white house twcurity clearance application twice. the last revision was the russian lawyer, though kushner's attorneys say that disclosure was not legally required and that kushner was not introduced to others in the meeting. jeffrey mankoff is a russian specialist with the center for strategic and international studies. >> i think going into meetings with people who have kremlin ties on the part of anybody who's in national politics without thoroughly vetting who they are, what they're doing, is politically, and possibly legally, quite dangerous. being reached out to by representatives of the russian government or intelligence services should certainly spark red flags and prompt a call to the f.b.i. >> reporter: cbs news has also confirmed president trump has hired yet another attorney to deal with russia related matters. scs name is ty cobb, a descendent of the famous baseball legend. unlike other attorneys hired by the president, cobb will work inside the white house to mmunsee the legal and communications strategy in this matter. anthony?

>> you know, i think you neobably should, but it shouldn't be the main line. we need to get behind this president and quit majoring in minor things, in my opinion, and ht him do the job he was elected to do. >> reporter: speaking of elections, his supporters here believe republican control of washington should produce big results, but matt schalburg is concerned that congress is not >>lping. >> they have a prime edportunity, something they've wanted for years. r reporter: and would you as a voter be upset with them if they don't do what they said they were going to do?
