yourself inside the white house as one of his lawyers. how are you going to try and limit the questions and what are you most nervous about? i have been on the other side, too, and usually what you are trying to do is play nice with the prosecutor, and chitchat and get them talking about what, if anything, they are going to say about the interview. typically a prosecutor will give you broad general categories of questions. well, of course, you know, if you can imagine somebody on mueller s team will say of course we will ask him about the firing of james comey and firing of michael flynn and ask him about x and y, and very high level, and the devil is in the details and they will try to get as much detail as possible, and what i might say is i am not going to prepare my client about any questions about this financial dealing or that financial dealing, making it clear that these are the only subjects they can talk about.

stephanie, but what happened afterwards. who did he tell? what were the discussions like? what follow-ups happened after any of those meetings? those are all questions that particularly obviously the democratic lawmakers on this panel are going to want to get answers to. well, nbc news has learned new details about that june, 2016, meeting at trump tower that don junior attended. what can you tell us? that s the meeting that first was all about the orphans, then it s been rescripted and rescripted six times since then and it was the wall street journal owned boy rupert murdoch over the summer that said president trump, you and your family and your administration, you better get transparent about russia or we ll take you down. reporter: sure. so, stephanie, our colleague, ken dilanian, used some reportial voodoo to get his hands on written questions and answers from the russian lawyer who was in that meeting, answers that she submitted to the senate judiciary committee in which sh
sandra: bob goodlatte will chair today s hearing in the judiciary committee and joins me now. good of you to come on with us. this happening in a few minutes. it is going to be a busy morning. this is the third time the attorney general has sat down to answer questions under oath. what do you want to hear from him this time? well, there are many issues. he is the attorney general of the united states. i m sure that many democrats in the committee want to talk about russia, russia, russia. as you know, a special counsel has been appointed to look into that and on our committee i have chosen to allow the special counsel to conduct his work without political influence and so we ll certainly hear about that. there are many other issues we want to hear from him. this is a standard annual testifying by the attorney general in front of the judiciary committee which has oversight of the department of justice. we ll talk about a number of
