Of the sanctions which led putin to retaliate by suspending u.s. adoptions of russian children. it was this adoption issue merely a cover for the sanctions that trump jr. claims was the focus of his 2016 meeting with russian lawyer natalia veselnitska veselnitskaya. >> when they mentioned it was about adoptions, it had nothing to do with adoptions. they went to donald trump jr. and said, can you help us draft this act if your father becomes president? >> reporter: president trump said his previo...

So let me ask you this because you were instrumental in getting the magnitsky act passed. it is something vladimir putin is obsessed by, right? he brought up his own retaliation to it, the ban on russian adoptions to the united states with the president at the g-20. in your prepared remarks, you write you have received death threats from russia. the most notable may be from the russian prime minister who said that according to you, quote, it is too bad that magnitsky is dead and bill browder is ...

About adoptions, and so i just was bored and wanted to leave. again, hes blaming the assistant. he says, i wrote to my assistant to get me out of the meeting by calling and saying, i had to leave. thats something that can be checked. i want to know whether he actually left the meeting, whether he sent such an e-mail or text. there are so many questions, and almost everything when you really probe it, even though it sounds credible when you first read it, when you think about it, you want to tear...

Channel is not credible to me. the explanation for forgetting over 100 foreign contacts isnt believable. there are so many questions. as weve already said, you want to ask the assistant who filled it out whats wrong with it. but theres every other part of that question -- of his statement needs to be evaluated in depth. every witness to those meetings needs to be talked to. the most incredible to me is, i didnt know what i was going to that meeting for. i had no idea what it was about. and when ...

Glimpse and it was the first time we heard from jared kushner, saying in a statement he wanted to set the record straight. he did detail the four meetings he had between april and december 2016. the first one was previously undisclosed. it was a short meet-and-green. but it really was that june 2016 meeting with donald trump jr. and that russian lawyer among others thats been among the most talked about. and curb any did address it head-on, saying he attended at the request of don junior, and he...

The subject line was pretty clear. >> the first word was russia. >> the first word was rush yachlt "a rifd at the meeting a little late. when i got there the person who has since been identified as a russian attorney was talking about the issue of a ban on u.s. adoptions of russian children. i had no idea why that topic was being raised and quickly determined that my time was not well spent at this meeting. looking for an excuse to leave, kushner says he e-mailed an assistant to call his cell. h...

This is the only super power that can annihilate ours in a few minutes. we need to have good relations with them. howie: donald trump, jr. said adoptions came up. there is almost an automatic resumption of bad faith. they were discussing something so terrible, there was no u.s. translator there. the president doesnt get the benefit of the doubt. we have sanctions and their retaliation against that. the media havent done a good job presenting their overall picture with russia. you have seen an in...

Description of the donald trump jr. meeting with the russian lawyer and parade of other russians who were there. he maintained the part he was in was mostly about adoptions. as you heard, he wanted to get out of the meeting early. what hes missing is the purpose of that meeting if you talk to people who have done russian counterintelligence was mostly to see if the trump campaign or the transition at that point was -- the campaign at that point was receptive to getting information about hillary ...

The meeting he set up in june last year in trump tower. with donald trump jr., the presidents son, and other senior members of the trump campaign team at the time. and a russian lawyer who wanted to speak about u.s. legislation including the ban on adoptions by u.s. parents of russian children. it was the first real indication that weve seen or the best, clearest indication weve seen that the trump campaign team was willing to hear kind of information damaging to their political opponents from t...
