>> reporter: absolutely, ana. we should mention that rinat akhmetshin, that russian lobbyist is a dual russian and american citizen so he could be called before congress to testify. as you said you bet that lawmakers on the house and senate intelligence committees would love to hear from donald trump jr. under oath, testifying about his thought process in taking that meeting with what he called a russian lawyer and now as we know rinat akhmetshin, this russian lobbyist, with alleged ties to russ...

It, the lobbyist would have said something antibiotic, but they didnt say anything. and all of a sudden somebody finds out that they were there, donald jr. has to fess up. what other meetings have occurred, if any? i dont say theres anything totally wrong with this, i just think based on the actions of these people right now, everybodys antenna is up getting some pings on it, and they need to be very careful and extremely candid in the future. anything that they release and what other meetings t...

Juniors meeting. weve seen the changing stories. thats been a big problem from the initial reaction of russian adoptions to seeking dirt on hillary clinton. back in new jersey, where president trumps bed minister resort is hosting the womens u.s. open golf tournament this weekend. the president and son eric watch from the clubhouse. a big event for the trump family business while the trump white house is in the rough over the russia investigation. political pressure turned up. >> this has got an...

Just to recap, heres what all nose callers deemed to be unimportant. over three days, the "new york times" drill down on the story of donald trump jr., paul, and jared meeting with the russian lawyer. first, meeting denied. then a false reason for the meeting was offered. the discussion of adoptions of russian infants. then, timely, times called to tell jr. they were going to publish the e-mails, and he released them himself. they revealed that at a minimum, he was game to collude with the russi...

Jr. from a meeting that, you know, was just about american adoptions of russian children to son of a gun, it turns out that the meeting was set up in order to get information that is derogatory on clinton from people that were explicitly from the russian government. and so, you know, sadly those of us charged with investigating this now and the american public can take absolutely nothing that the presidents campaign or the presidents people or the presidents family take seriously, so weve got wo...

Did take a meeting at trump tower last year with this lawyer, but it was actually a meeting about adoptions mostly. then we got a subsequent statement from donald trump jr. saying, okay, actually it was to get derogatory information about hillary clinton. then we got the e-mail chain which clarified that it was definitely a meeting wither they tried to get derogatory information from hillary clinton that was not only explicitly identified as coming from the russian government, but it was going t...

Governments support for mr. trump. what do you think is the best way to handle this information. and that is the e-mail that led to this meeting at trump tower during the campaign that has been the subject of so much focus and week and so much freak out at the white house. part of the reason that meeting is attracting so much attention is that nobody is coming right out and saying what happened. for some reason they wont just explain what happened and who was there. right. initial reports were t...

Donald trump jr. saying he did not know it was a russian lawyer he was meeting with at trumpb tower and it was primarily about adoptions. but over this baft week, just yesterday, major developments revealed that that was false. take a listen. >> can you definitively say, can you look into my eyes, your cameras and say, im 100% sure the president and his campaign did not conspire with a russian ap r apparatus. thats why i want to get to the bottom of it. >> joining us is kelly odonnell. well star...

He lies and says well i did but it was about adoptions and then he lies and says well okay, we talked about collusion, we talked about russians helping us but it was just me and my boys kushner and manafort and then now -- >> because the meeting didnt go anywhere. >> why has he lied about it? >> one question, sima, how do you know the meeting didnt go anywhere. >> okay, because at this point there has not been any information that came from that meeting that was brought out during the election a...

June 2016 meeting were donald trump jr., then campaign chair paul manafort, jared kushner as well as this russian lawyer, natalya veselnitskaya. all of those ind iications came from donald trump jr. himself whos story fluctuated. saturday night he issued the first statement saying he met with this person lrgly to discuss russian adoption. interesting to know in that statement he referred to it at "the person" indicating only one person. then, of course, we heard from him clay firifying in a stat...
