Trump jr. because hes already testified under oath about this? >> seems so to me. im not legal expert. theres been a pattern of lies, lies, lies or cover-ups. thats obviously where legal investigators are going to look. from the outside, there was certainly a willingness and a welcome desire to collaborate and collude with anybody to help them against the hillary clinton campaign. >> and is that why you say that this was not an innocent meeting? that they were trying to get dirt on hillary clint...

Possibilities here is that there was a conversation of some form of future collaboration and then we hear this incredibly awkward moment with trump on july 27th, two years ago, where he says, russia, if youre listening, heres the favor that you can do for me. come on and deliver hillarys e-mails. at the time it felt strange and awkward. now with everything that weve learned in the past few days, perhaps thats the truth of what went on in that meeting in trump tower, that there was a conversation...

Russians came in and didnt make a full offer and it sort of ended on unfortunate terms and they all left? we dont know that either. but one of the strong possibilities here is that there was a conversation about some form of future collaboration and then we hear this incredibly awkward moment with trump on july 27th two years ago where he says, russia, if youre listening, heres the favor that you can do for me. come on and deliver hillarys e-mails. at the time it felt strange and awkward. now wi...

Donald trump basically intervening to craft a misleading statement about this meeting, essentially say that is it was about a russian adoptions and nothing about finding dirt on hillary clinton. the other thing that i think we found out this week from those cohen tapes is kind of a way things operated at trump tower. i mean, you have cohen there. not only taping donald trump but you get the sense that theyre talking about any number of things. campaign issues. minor campaign issues. polls. surro...

Heroic figure, but he does have credibility. he released a tape that completely demontdedemolished t denial of having an affair and having anything to do with hush payments. we hear him actually saying on the tape, pay him in cash, the president of the united states. and so, i think cohen has every reason at this point to actually be telling the truth. assuming he is and knowing, frankly, president trump has lied about every aspect of this on the record. he lied about donald trump jr.s meeting, ...

Time. but the lies are peeling away and are being dispelled and the truth is coming out. its highly, highly damning for the president. >> that this was supposed to be about the magnitsky act. >> it was supposed to be about adoptions and all this stuff. >> we dont know if the people who were there, according to michael cohen, the president got knowledge of this meeting. >> presumably if cohen is going to testify, he can testify about who else was there and lets see if anybody is willing to perjur...

If the president played a role in having his son testify falsely before congress, if he made an effort to essentially conceal from federal authorities his own role in that trump tower meeting, his knowledge of it, it would go to the obstruction of justice issue. it is very important. these are some of the facts that go right to the president himself. >> cohen testified before your committee. i know it was in private. did this come up? >> you know, i cant go into the specifics of the testimony. i...

They denied the meeting happened, last summer when it came out that this meeting occurred, the president himself orchestrated a cover-up, claiming it was about adoptions. they have lied each and every time but the lies are being dispelled and the truth is coming out. its highly, highly damning for the president. >> that this was supposed to be about the magnitsky act a. >> it was supposed to be about adoptions and all this stuff. >> we dont know if the people who were there, according to michael...

About a year ago. while the president has consistently said he didnt know about or the white house said thats the case, there have been a variety of shifting explanations from the white house and people around the president. initially, they said it was about adoptions. we learned there was a proffer of potentially damaging information about hillary clinton. there are a lot more questions than answers at this time. the big potential that this could be damaging if what michael cohen said is provab...
