Was all about a thing that apparently they were very focused on, russian adoptions. and then we found out the meeting was billed as support from the russian government promising information that would incriminate hillary clinton, which led the presidents lawyer to claim collusion is not against the law. >> ive been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. collusion is not a crime. >> four months, theyre not going to be colluding about russians, which i dont k...

Have always said the purpose of the meeting was, so get information on hillary clinton. the original trump lie about this meeting was that the meeting was about russian adoptions. but the presidents lawyers were forced to admit in a letter to the special prosecutor that president trump dictated a false statement to "the new york times" about that meeting knowing it was false, a statement saying the meeting was about russian adoptions. the legal implications of the presidents tweet are gravely th...

The media instead. >> theyve gotten plenty of mileage out of this thing and theyre going to keep milking it as long as they possibly can. >> reporter: the president as stunning reversal coming by tweet. this was a meeting to get information on an opponent, a far cry from the misleading explanation he dictated from air force one on his sons behalf last summer, the president and hisdes at the time insisting that meeting, now central to muellers investigation, was primarily about russian adoptions....

Everything about that meeting. what i see with this shift with trump is what has been going on repeatedly in trump world, which is when they sense that theres some bad news coming out, they try to change the story, admit to a little bit, but not the worst part. it started with adoptions and now theyre saying, sure, it was for opposition research, but what are they really worried about? did they discuss sanctions because ultimately thats what the russians wanted to get out of all of these meeting...

Meeting with russians to get information on an point has many believing the president has increased his own legal jeopardy by admitting the true purpose of that trump tower meeting. and it stands in stark contrast to the initial meeting that he dictated last year explaining that the meeting had been primarily about adoptions. the president now claims that the meeting was, quote, totally legal. done all the time in politics which fits into the presidents and his allies latest talking point that c...

Said that initial meeting was about adoptions, we now know from his own words that was about getting opposition information from a foreign entity. so we already have that. giuliani can say all the letters he wants to mueller. at the end of the day, there is enough information here from trumps mouth of his own doing that he knew what was going on or perhaps there was evidence. >> yesterday don jr. told laura ingraham it was a bait and switch. once meeting started, they discussed adoption. none of...

The other question is there are still missing facts, which is the phone call don junior made to the blocked number and what happened after the meeting that are going to be really important in determining whether there is, in fact, legal jeopardy. >> you have to remember this is one data point. were focused on it because of don juniors testimony, his involvement of the e-mails that came out. >> and we have public knowledge of it. >> exactly. theres another wrinkle and this came out last week is t...

Lets take a quick look at the timeline. the new york times reports on the meeting. don junior with the statement claiming it is about russian adoption. one day later, the presidents son was promised dirt on hillary clinton. >> two days after that, don junior releases the exchange with rob golstone. discussing dirt on clinton. the president denies knowing about the meeting beforehand. july 12th, reports indicate that president trump was involved in preparing the statement about russian adoptions....
