Biggest art heist in history. But we begin this morning with todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. Someone sent me an email. I cant help what someone sends me, you know. I read it, i responded accord g according accordingly. Donald trump on the email revelations. This is moving into perjury, false statements, and even potentially treason. Listen. Im not an expert on treason. It looks like collusion to me, absolute stupidity. Storms moving across the upper midwest. Tornado through iowa. Meanwhile wildfires are growing in california. We initiated a very aggressive response. Pennsylvania officials are scouring a large farm in the disappearance of four young men. Strangers Work Together to save a family from drowning at a Florida Beach. People formed a human chain. The wreckage of a military plane that crashed in mississippi. The cause of crash still unknown. Nelson cruz decided he wanted to oh fish yacfficiaofficiate. All that let the circus begin. The fists werent flying yet, but the insults were. And all that matters emails with rod goldstone. He was the one who took the russian lawyer to meet donald trump and trump tower which we know because he checked into trump tower on facebook. On cbs this morning. This is obviously very highlevel and Sensitive Information. Yes, obviously. Thats why he encrypted his commune kay with what they call email. Announcer this mornings eye opener brought to you by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Charlie is off. Jeff glor is not. Youre here on your birthday. Happy birthday. Good to be here on my birthday. There now clear evidence that russias government wanted to help elect donald trump. He was told in june of last year the russians wanted to provide information to hurt Hillary Clintons campaign. Rod goldstone said this is highlevel and Sensitive Information but its part of russia and Government Support for mr. Trump. Trump responded if its what you say, i love it. He talked at length last night about meeting with a russian lawyer that he said produced nothing. Margaret brennan is at the white house where the president is defending his son. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. This is a major distraction for the trump white house. This morning hes defending his son, calling him open, transparent, and honest p and despite all these new revelations, hes continuing to call the russia story a political witch hunt. In retrospect, i probably would have done thing as little differently. Again, this was before russia mania, before they were building up. On fox news he said meeting with russia lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was a mistake. The emails were skplis u. A friend Rob Goldstone wrote to him. He called it part of russia and governments support for mr. Trump. He responded if its what you say, i love it. It was shared with russian pop star emmening a emin agalarov. He sent me an email. I cant help what they send me. It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. I wouldnt have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. His attorney told cbs news someone was doing trump a favor by meeting with veselnitskaya. On tuesday she disputed any kremlin ties telling the associated press, i do not represent interests of anyone other than myself. A month after the meeting he condemned democrats. It goes to show you their exact moral compass. Theyll say anything. Its time and time again. Lie after lie. Its does gusting, so phony. Attorneyshannen coffin. Sure. It seems like he would do whatever he could to get his father elected, but there was no evidence he was doing so through illegal mean moose trump junior also copied Paul Manafort ands he brotherinlaw Jared Kushner. Both of them attended the meeting. Thats raising new questions about kushners security clearance here at the white house. All right. Another story were following. Ing that you very much, margaret. On capitol hill some republicans do not understand kwhie the President Trump president s son waited so long to mention this meeting and the discussions leading up to it. The email, we should have known about it before yesterday. The fact that were knowing about this in july really disturbing. Certainly another shoe thats dropped that needs to be pursued and looked at. Many democrats including Hillary Clintons running mate say the emails are the first real evidence of Trumps Campaign working with russia. Nothings proven yet, but were now beyond obstruction of justice in terms of whats being investigated. This is moving into perjury, false statements, and even potentially treason. Senate intelligence meetings say they now want to hear directly from donald trump jr. Jay sekulow is an attorney for donald trump. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Criminal law says its a crime to donate money or interfere with an election. Did he violate the law . He did not. Theres no violation of the law, no illegality. The statute youre quoting from, the fcc statutes are not it. Im not the only lawyer saying this. Most legal scholars are saying this. If you look at the law as it was written, as it was applied, theres not a violation of the law. Opposition research is not uncommon, even when the government aspect has raised a lot of interest. Obviously were talking about it this morning. But you have information that the Ukrainian Government was providing information to Hillary Clinton and the dnc. Again, the question is was there a violation of the law and the answer is no. Would you agree it doesnt look good. Hes meeting with a foreign person from russia who says, listen, i have some information that could help your dads campaign. Would you agree the on jekts on that do not look good . Youre looking at atmospherics. Lets put ourselves back to where we were in time. This is the middle of the presidency election of the United States. Full battle. Hundreds of meetings take placele teams working on both sides. 18, 20hour meetings. When you put it in that atmospheric, it was rather remarkable in that nothing transparent or illegal took place. Youre asking an atmospheric question. Remember, the discussion wasnt a significant question at the time, the russian involvement. The other thing that seems to get lost in this and i said this before. All this concern about russia, all the reports have indicated that president obama was aware of russias attempts at engagement, and they did nothing about it. So here you have a situation where what took place per those emails that were released was not a violation of the law, no illegality there. I think thats where as a lawyer, as the president s law e, thats what i have to look at. Jay, were not just talking about atmospherics herele were talking ethics. There was a long discussion in trying o coordinate it. It wasnt just 20 minutes in one long day. There was a procession beforehand. Look at the email exchange. We did. Okay. He put them out there. The fact is if you look at this rapid succession of emails that takes place over a number of days for a meeting that lasts 20 minutes. So what you have a setsup to a meeting, a meeting that takes place by the way, no information being exchanged. It ended up being about the ma gin ski act and the russian adoption that how to we know that . Let me say something. Im here for the president o the United States. Thats why im here. Im one of the president s lawyers. I want you to beware of something. The president was not in attendance at the meeting, present at the meeting, wasnt aware of the meeting. We didnt see the email until you all saw it. Can you clarify today are there any other meetings with russian officials that have not been disclosed . Look. Donald trump jr. Said he could have met with a lot of other people. With us is congressman adam schiff. Hes the top democrat on the House Committee which is also investigating russian interference in the last election. Congressman, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Thank you. What are the next steps for your committee and what steps do you have for donald trump jr. Today . I think the next step in terms of this issue is were going to want to have all the participants who helped come and testify before the committee. Were going to want to see any documents, any emails. It looks like in listening to the president s son last night on fox and hearing his lawyer today that the defense is going to be, yes, we had an intent to collude with russia. We wanted to get the dirt they had. But we were deeply disappointed in not getting it at that meeting. Thats not much of a defense. I think we need to look into whether there were any subsequent efforts, whether we can rely on the representations of what happened at the meeting. Because one thing weve seen over the last several days, we cant rely on anything donald trump jr. Has to say about this because his story kept changing as he had to confront the facts coming out. Let me ask you. Theres a new report from ma clachy that says it helped guide fake attack news on Hillary Clinton. Can you confirm that . What are you looking into . One of the erbs we need to explore is whether there was any help in terms of the fake news, the efforts to push negative news by the russians, whether there was any coordination in that effort to target that, to identify where it would be useful to push stories on peoples social media feeds. I ooh not saying thats what took place. But the russians used a whole vary ieite of methods. If there was some kpoenltd of this coordination that we need to look into to give you some sort of analogous piece of evidence here in those emails, its very significant that donald trump jr. Said, hey, it would be great to get this in the late summer. Hes already talking about timing. If theres any coordination of the timing of negative stories or Russian Media controls, thats something we need to know. Theres stuff about soliciting a foreign contribution or in kind contribution. Does that raise to that level for you in. Well, you know, i think this is evidence that goes to the issue of collusion. The question is it sufficient evidence, and i think we need to do a lot to corroborate evidence we receive before we can draw any conclusions. But here you have, quite plainly, in the four corners of the ecos of the authenticity thats been released, you have three Central Campaign people, indeed three of the most important people in the trump campaign, who go to this meeting to get help from the russian government and have sent a signal they would welcome itting love it, and they made the comment about the timing that would be most useful and, frankly, admitted how disappointed they were that in this particular meeting, they didnt get the dirt or help they wanted. Was there a violation of the laws . Thats something to be investigated. Congressman adam schiff, thank you very much for your time this morning. Thank you.
