Stephanie, thank you. Also breaking overnight President Trumps arrival in paris. Hes there with a meeting with the french president emmanuel macron. Their joint News Conference could be dominated by questions about donald trump jr. s meeting with a russian attorney. We have complete coverage with Hallie Jackson who is in paris. Good morning to you. Reporter hi, matt, good morning to you. Today President Trump is putting an ocean, basically, between himself and those controversies back home. Here in france to celebrate bastille day, honoring 100 years since the arrival of u. S. Troops during world war i, its the First Anniversary of that horrific terror attack in nice where a truck plowed through crowds of people celebrating French National day and fight against terror, how to battle isis, how to handle syria that will be the top topic according to senior white house official. There are disagreements on poli policy, trade, climate will take a back seat. Remember, these two leaders are stylistically different. President macron more aloof, reserved, President Trump more visceral. President trump not particularly popular in this country. Only 14 according to polling have confidence in his policies. We do expect to see protests in france over the next couple of days as President Trump is here. Again, even overseas he cannot escape the shadow of what is happening domestically. At this short News Conference later on today, he will almost certainly face questions about his sons meeting with a russian lawyer during the campaign. Matt. Hallie jackson traveling with the president in paris. Hallie, thank you very much. As just mentioned, donald trump jr. Conversation with an attorney has followed the president to tramp. President trump himself attending an event with some of the same people involved in the controversy. Nbc correspondent Peter Alexander has more on that part of the story. Peter, good morning. Good morning. That exclusive video pulling back the relationship between donald trump and some of the key prayers in this latest russian twist. In a new interview, the president said theres nothing wrong with his sons Controversial Campaign meeting with a russian lawyer claiming Many Political pros said everybody would do that. This video shot exclusively by nbc showing donald trump in pos cow ahead of the usa pageant with former Business Partner arasing Aras Agalarov. 39 years old. Come here. Also there, his son and pop star emin, who he asked to set up the meeting. You like russians. I like russians. Telling reuters he first foup out about the meeting a couple days ago and defending his son taking the meeting where he was promised incriminating information about russia. I think many people would have held that meeting. On twitter, suggesting his presidency paralyzed. After a lengthy facetoface with putin. We got along well. Thats not a bad thing. Thats a good thing. Despite meddling to help trump win, the question is Hillary Clinton would be preferred in the office. If hillary had won, our military would be decimated. Our energy would be much more expensive. Thats what putin doesnt like me. Why would he want me. Meanwhile the pick to replace comey, Christopher Wray seems a shooin after expressing independent from the man who nominated him. If the president asks you to do something unethical, what would you say . First i would try to talk him out of it. If that failed, i would resign. Hours after the president again called the special councils russia investigation a witch hunt. Im asking you as future fbi director, do you consider this endeavor a witch hunt. I do not consider director mueller to be on a witch hunt. No one, including trump, asked him to pledge loyalty. He had no reason to doubt russia was cyber hacking the election. It does tap to be bipartisan report. Serving as u. S. Ambassador to russia 2012 to 2014 and now nbc Russian Affairs analyst. Michael, good to see you, good morning. Thanks for having me. You know as much about Vladimir Putin and russia as much as anyone in the country. I want to take you back to 2008 when you worked on Barack Obamas president ial campaign. If you had received as a member of that campaign the kind of offer that donald trump jr. Received, meet with a damaging lawyer who had damaging information about john mccain that could help Barack Obamas candidacy, what would your course of action have been . First of all, i would consider that highly unethical to take that information. Secondly, i would be suspicious thinking it might be a russian intelligence operation to compromise our campaign. Third, i think i would have been in touch with the fbi to make sure they know who these people are and what they are trying to do to compromise our electoral process. To be fair you were well versed on russia and all things russia. Let me ask you this, when you hear this explained away by some as a rookie mistake, is that a suitable explanation to you . Well, no. First of all, youre running a president ial campaign for United States of america. No excuses for rookie mistakes. Second, you brought Paul Manafort to the meeting. He has years and decades of experience in that part of the world. Hes a grown up, hes dealt with russians and ukrainians. He should have known. Third, they should have had somebody like me on the staff, somebody vetting foreign contacts. We had no foreign contacts by the way. They should have had somebody to look into this thing and say, hey, maybe this is a bad idea. Maybe this is not what you think it is. Michael, to hear donald trump jr. Tell it, there wasnt much to this meeting. They didnt actually get the damaging information that apparently were hoping to get. What would russia have been up to in that circumstance. Send someone over there not armed with the goods but to meet with these folks. Some people in the intelligence circles call that a dangle. Is that what you think it is . It very well could be. That happens often in these kind of cases. Lets just be clear. They thought they were going to get something major, right . Weve all read the emails. If this was just a Courtesy Call he was doing for his friend, why did he bring two of the most senior people in the campaign to that meeting. So they thought they were doing to get something. From the russian side, yeah, i think they could have thought, lets see if they want to play. Lets see if they want to eng e engage. I just want to underscore one last thing. Weve only heard one persons interpretation of what happened. We dont actually know what they discussed. I hope somebody will get to the bottom of that someday. Former Russian Ambassador michael mcfaul. Good to see you. Thank you very much. Sure. Thanks for having me. To the battle of health care. Senate republicans set to roll out their revised bill today. Kasie hunt on the hill for us with the latest. Hi, kasie, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning. Republican senators huddling one more time over that Obamacare Repeal bill, which they plan to release later on today. But theres still questions. What are the details, can they pass the bill and what impact will it have on americans . After weeks of secret negotiations, they plan to unveil their bill to revise obamacare as leadership scrambles to find the 50 republican votes they need to pass it. In an interview with televangelist pat robertson, President Trump issuing a dire warning if it fails. Ill be very angry about it, a lot of people will be upset. Im sitting waiting for that bill to come to my desk. I hope they do it. They can only lose two votes and theres a sharp divide between moderates and conservatives. There are many issues of disagreement. If it were up to me id like to repeal every word of obamacare. Deep cuts to medicaid. The new measure will likely still slash 700 billion from the program. Fiscal conservatives say it will make it sustainable. Some argue it will devastate hundreds of thousands of people in her state that will rely on it. I dont think we can fix the bill by doing a tweak here and a trim there. It needs a complete overhaul in order to garner my support. Hoping to win over skeptics, leadership has offered 45 billion to fight the Opioid Epidemic and 70 billion to Stabilization Fund to individual market. Conservatives like kentucky senator rand paul say the bill doesnt go far enough. The bill is no longer repeal. They are asked to vote for something we never promised. From Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell stakes are hi. Postponing recess earlier this week keeping senators continue washington until Health Care Gets done. Facing pressure from his party, the president. Mitch has to pull it off. Hes working hard. Hes got to pull it off. Religious leaders leading a protest on capitol hill against cuts to medicare.
