Clear about one thing. jeff sessions adamantly denies that he had a meeting with sergey kislyak at that mayflower hotel event. his spokesman denies it on the record. and this is one of the reasons, you know, ive known about this and ive been reporting on this meeting for a while as i think have some other reporters in this town. and there has been a lot of haziness about what exactly congressional investigators were learning. and thats why i was really glad to see senator al franken on your show...

And for jared kushner, if these were innocent contacts, there was no reason not to disclose them. he was not a diplomat. and the administration, the incoming administration by december had at least one person who had some standing. they had already decided who was going to be their secretary of defense. but he wasnt having these contacts. its jared kushner who had no diplomatic experience, but was the head of a business, not yet a part of the administration. >> ken, one of the things you mention...

Jared kushner was in the room. jeff sessions was in the room. it was reported that donald trump shook sergey kislyaks hand. but sessions people and kushners peach denied they had any substantive encounter with kislyak. well, now were being told that congressional investigators have reason to believe, and theyre not exactly saying what that reason, but theyre suggesting that it is classified evidence, that there may have been a private encounter. thats not proof that there is one, but they have r...

>> lets listen to what congressman adam schiff said about jeff sessions involvement in all of this. >> he failed to disclose his meetings with the russian ambassador when he testified. he then when he was called on it supplemented his testimony. if that supplemental testimony still wasnt accurate, and there were additional meetings or an additional meeting. and again, this is just an allegation, that would be a very serious business because that would indicate a very knowing desire to conceal in...

"meeting." >> yeah. and of course this cosm comes everyone in the trump world has denied knowing who sergey kislyak is practically. no one can seem to remember meeting with him. and i think ken made really the key point is that april is one the sort of hacking was sort of in its peak, right? it didnt go throughout the year in 2016. we knew it was active in the spring of 2016. so this would have been at that same time. and you just have this series of meetings between members of the trump campaig...
