>> it is not illegal meeting with russian diplomats and as long as we are not breaking any of the sanctions against russia. there is nothing illegal in that. but i think we want to understand more about the nature of the meetings and the contact and what was being discussed and to what extent aaron banks profited from his relation from the russia embassy. >> in testimony before a committee in parliament, banks denied giving the russians anythi sensitive. but did admit to handing over one piece of information after that trump tower meeting. >> how to get in touch with the president-elect. >> the only thing we gave in the second meeting was the telephone number of the transition team. >> reporter: banks who also has a russian wife has been trying to deny reports and innuendo from british press and politicians that he is acting as a potential russian agent and his story i confusing because he admitted sometimes he lies or allows his side kick to lion his behalf.
