Hello again, everyone. Thanks so much for joining me. Im Fredricka Whitfield in washington, d. C. Its the meeting that just wont go away. More than two years later, the story is still evolving on the in infamous 2016 trump tower meeting. President trump now taking a firm stance on the true purpose of the meeting, tweeting, in fact, today, this was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics and it went nowhere. That message very far from the initial statement from donald trump jr. That we later learned was dictated by President Trump himself, saying this, we primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children, with no mention of dirt on Hillary Clinton. So this shift comes as sources tell cnn the president is concerned about his son becoming entangled in the russia probe. Cnns white house correspondent

resistance. and you understand why. for russia to lose this campaign to ukraine, i d say it means lose the war. richard gel engel is joining us. what else did the president tell you? reporter: we spoke at length about the offensive and he described how pivotal it is. he believes that they can win the entire war. so an kag of how much he sees riding on this offensive. but russia has had a lot of time to prepare. we ve been talking about this offensive for months. and so were russia troops. and they discussing in, they laid land mines. so this is so far a tough go.
been anything like it in the history of our country, we have never done like this, and the division is so bad because what they do it so bad and are angry and theyjust keep doing it and sometimes you need strength, you have to have strength, more than just normal strength, and we have to get a change because we are not going to have a country left. remember i used to campaign and i would say that we are going to end up being venezuela on steroids and that is exactly what has happened to our country, our country is going to hell. i was going to change the name of our campaign to keep america great. that s not as good as maga. maga! keep america great is kag. kag is never going to compete with maga. but we couldn t say keep america great because a
