John roberts has that story tonight. Reporter even on vacation President Trump continues to drive the news cycle with single tweets that quickly become the most talked about the topic of the day. For a president who says he wants the Molar Investigation to go away, he seems to do a lot to keep it alive. In a tweet complaining about media coverage, President Trump scoffed at the idea that he is concerned about the meeting my wonderful son donald had an trump tower with the russian attorney and other russians. But it was what he added that raised eyebrows and a grin thrust the Molar Investigation into the spotlight. The president tweeted, this was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and it done all the time in politics and it went nowhere. Democrats left on the tweets evidence that it had been incomplete at best and at worst, untrue. The Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee adam schiff tweeted, the russians offer damaging info on your opponent, your campaign accepted and the russians delivered. The purpose of the Trump Tower Meeting would have become public. Now you say you didnt know in advance, none of this is normal or credible. He claims the russians delivered but there is no evidence that they delivered anything. What President Trump tweeted wasnt exactly new, either. A year ago at a Press Conference with french president emmanuel macron, he gave much the same explanation about the Trump Tower Meeting. President trump i think from a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting. Its called Opposition Research or Even Research into your opponent. A few days later, president tweeted about it. Most politicians would have gone to the meeting like john jr. Attended. In his sunday missive, President Trump also pushed back on reports that his former Attorney Michael Cohen was going to tell investigators that the president knew about that meeting in advance. President trump President Trumpi did not know about it. He goes further than he ever has in acknowledging that the meeting was about getting information on an opponent and it has raised questions whether seeking election help from a Foreign National may have broken the law, or at the very least that the tweets may give ammunition to the Robert Mueller investigation into possible obstruction of justice. The president s attorney called that idea nonsense. Obstruction by justice is absurd. The other big question, or the president sit for an interview with Robert Mueller . Last week the president declined his proposal to talk only about russia, the election and collusion saying he also wants to ask questions to go to the issue of obstruction of justice. We are moving as expeditiously as possible to make the determination and make our recommendation to the president.
