United states is orchestrating this entire defense. the lawyers have nothing to do with it. you could have put them on the plane, it wouldnt have made any difference. he would have thrown them off with parachutes. it really was all donald trump, and this is all part of his plan to obstruct this investigation. if you look at those two statements, they are very surgically drafted. youve got donald junior saying, well, i didnt know what was going on, it just happened to be about adoptions. of cours...

As well. but it was a bit of a surprise. >> what about the fact that you have the presidents lawyer going out there and telling people he did not play any role at all in the drafting of the statement, and now were told that he did, and then also just the issue of the fact that the statement was misleading? they said it was about adoptions, and as we know, what lindsey graham just said, the purpose was to get dirt on hillary clinton. does this meeting have a credibility rap? >> i would agree with...

Proven to be categorically false. the meeting was not about russian adoptions. it was about damaging information on hillary clinton and thats the reason that the meeting ended up on don jr.s calendar. >> paul, you and i are old dogs and weve seen a lot of people come in and out of this town. get it all out, get it all out on your own terms, get it all out as soon as possible. >> and according to the reporting in abbys paper, the president was advised that and it is true. everything comes out, be...

Mr. donald trump jr. -- between don junior and his lawyer. im sure his lawyer was involved. thats how you do it. you know that. to put this on the president, i think, is absolutely incorrect. >> all right, well, not so according to your reporting. and carol, is it a safe assumption that the president knew details about that trump tower meeting, which then leads to bigger questions about why he wouldnt be forthright from the beginning in that statement. >> so, the president definitely knew that t...

>> would he have told the president at this meeting that there was this email and the president still said, this is about russian adoptions. and russian adoptions isnt even russian adoptions, its ending sanctions. >> theres one thing that jeffrey mentioned and we get this a lot when we talk about donald jr. and the president of the united states. i have to go back to this stand card often. jeffrey said hes not a lawyer, he pushes back and sometimes he falls into these legal perils or donald trum...

Judgment overall based on what the facts are. and as weve said over and over again, were going to go where the facts lead us and facts are a stubborn thing. weve got people on that committee, on both sides, that are very good at following facts. well take them where they lead us. >> just to be precise, on air force one on the flight back to the united states from the g20 summit in hamburg, germany, as far as the drafting of that statement, she did say, sarah huckabee sanders, quote, the presiden...

Welcome back to our special edition of "the lead." my conversation with governor christie is coming up. first, the "washington post" breaking the story tonight, reporting that president trump himself personally dictated the initial misleading statement about his eldest sons meeting with a russian lawyer. the statement reportedly was worked out on air force one on the flight home from the g20 summit in germany. youll recall revelation after revelation. at first donald trump jr. said he had only...

Team said the president had no involvement in drafting that statement. >> i wasnt involved in the statement drafting at all. nor was the president. im assuming that was between mr. donald trump jr., between don junior and his lawyer. im sure his lawyer was involved thats how you do it. you know that. to put this on the president i think is absolutely incorrect. >> absolutely incorrect. the presidents private attorney says, well, the "washington post" i noted reports today that in fact the presid...

Security staff. instead it sounds like the office space in the front of that aircraft was occupied by this. >> yeah. and you dont get any sign that he has had a learning curve when it comes to russia. there was a school of thought that said donald trump is naive about vladimir putin. he sees in putin a tough guy, a strong man the hubristic. and trump likes that. maybe he will get into office and learn what putin is about. what the russian policy is about. the cynicism and subterfuge ever russia....

He would believe his own bs, as long as it was coming out of his mouth, right up until the cuffs go on. >> there are people that keep choosing to -- i mean, the scaramucci was -- he burned very brightly, he flew too close to the sun, he was out in 11 days. but people keep -- now kelly is choosing -- the psychology is sort of amazing. people continue to associate and put themselves in the position of having to watch what happened to everyone else. >> right. i think that people are also a little b...
