To prove collusion. >> even the goal posts have been moved. we were promised systematic collusi collusion. >> reporter: the hurry to respond to the trickle of news coming out. it could be called robert mueller to explain what they mean about the trump tower meeting. sources close to the trump team, say white house aides started managing the disclosures in june from the e-mail from don junior. nancy pelosi is pushing to have kushners security clearance revoked. >> it is not justified in any way. ...

These dozens of contacts that jared kushner has now allegedly disclosed. we havent seen that full list of contacts that led to this whole story coming out. and i think to jeffs point about the moving of the goal posts, every time they have made this argument that this is all there is and this didnt happen, it has been an attempt to cut off further investigation. theres nothing to see here so stop looking. and every time there has been more as we kept looking and that means we need to keem lookin...

We were promised hard evidence of systemic sustained collusion that not only interfered with our election process, but indeed dictated the electoral outcome. >> obviously a spin there from the white house but it was the white house who said there was absolutely no collusion at all, even saying it will remember the incoming vice presidents interview with cbs saying there were no additional meeting with russia after the flynn revelation. >> im so glad you played that clip because i had tried to me...

So the mere fact that two people meet with the idea that they could get information really doesnt go to the thing of value that was likely envisioned by campaign finance laws. when you also start talking about things like collusion and conspiracy, you know, these all require a lot of ifs at this point. as kelly said, this is a changing narrative and tomorrow may bring new facts that support some crime, but as long as everybody is talking about if this person was connected with russian government...

Meeting. the british publicist wrote this to donald trump jr. two days before. i will send the two names of people meeting with you for security when i have them later today. no e-mail producing those names were ever produced by don jr. >> my son is a wonderful young man. he took a meeting with a russian lawyer, not a government lawyer, but a russian lawyer. it was a short meeting. >> reporter: president trump defended hid son while speaking in paris but continues to insist he didnt know anythin...

Between donald trumps outside legal team and certain people inside, including the kushner camp. and so this is not some well oiled operation thats working smoothly together. you have an outside legal team that wants to put up a wall inside the white house between the president and his son-in-law, theyre frustrated that jared kushner has been discussing the investigation with the president. then you fought other outside advisers to the president who believe donald trumps legal team is second rate...

Were watching the goal posts being moved in real time. some say its like watching the stadium be moved. this is the something theyre now sending. so what basicallying wi, right? >> its remarkable to watch the republican party that had had this ethic that we had to stand behind regimes like the apartheid south africa. it was so important to keep russia awear from spheres of influence that was important to us that we had to support regimes like that to now drift to its fine. substitute iran for ru...

Means of acquiring that information at the source, thats the real issue. joining me now, joy reid. lawrence wright, pulitzer prize writer, a fantastic new piece called "americas future in texas." joy, let me start with you. were watching the goal posts being moved in real time. some say its like watching the stadium be moved. this is the something theyre now sending. so what basically, right? >> its remarkable to watch the republican party that had had this ethic that we had to stand behind regi...

Yeah, kind of. paul manafotrt wasnt a private citizen and jared kushner is anything but a private citizen. one of the most powerful figures in government and they were there and we still dont know what transpired at that meeting. doesnt really hold water. also just flat on its face improper. theyre trying to say this is normal. this is the gathering opposition research and this type of thing. russia is known to people. this is not a secret as trying to monkey around in the elections of the west....

Now saying, if there was collusion, maybe it wasnt totally illegal. maybe if don junior had this meeting its not so bad because other people would have had this meeting. you know what? the democrats are doing it, too. it really shows how their argument has shifted. >> thats right. there was an intermediate spin saying, well, just because somebody is russian doesnt mean theyre connected to the putin regime. putin himself suggested maybe there were patriots out there who were doing this on their o...
