View in this way. one minute last week the president is praising his son, don junior for transparency. every day we learn something else that we didnt know. if youre going to have another meeting with putin, why would you want to keep it hidden. why not just tell us about it? things leak out any way. this is a lesson this administration has been slow to learning. >> we did see an image of melania sitting next to vladmir putin. are you concerned about that? >> certainly. i dont think they are bei...

Could mccain spend recovering here. what could you tell us? >> it could be a bit of time. i think the initial reports were that he had this blood clot above his eye, and it was removed on friday, but to be clear, what he had drone was a bit more aggressive than that. let me show you what im talking about. the incision was in hi eyebrow, to sort of high the incision, but you have bone there, what i think people didnt realize is that bone was actually removed as well to try and get access inside t...

Wait until a news organization broker gives the impression that they are not getting out in front of the story, that they are still hiding details when what he should have done is put it all out there, and try to move on. >> julie: its hard to move out on this. this is something that when we talked about the drip, we keep hearing that being said over and over, this is another drip. the trump administration tried to get out ahead of "the new york times" by preventing further drips by going ahead ...

Agalaravs and rob goldstone. dana bash, it seems as though there is no shortage of drips in this story. just when you think youve seen it all, another shoe drops. >> no question. the thing about this video is it connects the names on an e-mail from a year ago to pictures. and more importantly, to the president of the united states. it makes it at least appear much more clear why donald trump jr. was so responsive to goldstone. look, he was hanging out with his father. he clearly -- >> i see mich...
