Not what the meeting was about. they got a terrible credibility problem on this. its beyond credibility now, this is something thats in the hands of special counsel. obviously the congressional committees are torqued up to drill down on all this. and we have entered ana phase of this investigation, no question about it. >> general i want to read this, maggy habermann and peter baker this is the "new york times," heres what theyre reporting tonight. as air force one jetted back from europe on sat...

Don jr., i dont even -- if i was guilty of having to know everything that was e-mailed to me, good lord. thats not possible. so, well find out. hell testify. well find out. >> carrie, in terms of don jr.s credibility, for his story to have shifted from, oh, this was a meeting about adoptions, to now, once "the new york times" apparently has the actual e-mails and contacts him, letting him know theyre going to release them, he then releases at least part of the e-mail chain. i dont know if theres...

Don trump argued on twitter today that his statement didnt change, but the problem is if you dont deliver the entire thing in the first go-around, it does create a credibility problem. >> its fascinating reporting. again, this is an e-mail -- there is e-mail evidence, i was just able to skim the article. this is based on three sources, is that correct? >> correct. >> according to the article. >> correct. and look, this is -- this is emerging slowly, so to my point that theres stuff that we dont ...

Georgetown. kari there were six people in the meeting. we dont know what was said about the hacking into the 2016 election. >> you know, we dont, what he said is that the american people, that the president expressed what the american people were concerned about with respect to the russian interference and the election. he didnt say that the president expressed his concerns or his grave concerns about what happened with russian interference in the election. so i thought that was an interesting -...

So. abby: he had spent the two hours and 15 minutes on simply the russian meddling well he didnt talk about all the other important things. so you cant win. thats one thing we have learned with the democrats today. but there is a new poll out. todd: yeah, listen to this. a fox news poll unfavorable opinion shows melania trump at 51%. oh, and there is the guy that oh, nobody likes him in america. well, he is at 47%. he is the president of the united states donald trump. mike pence also at 47%. pe...
