Happening and why. We do want to begin with the explosive news about President Trump and russia. It involves donald trump junior. Breaking in the last 30 minutes, the New York Times reporting that donald trump junior met with a russian laier after being promised damaging information on Hillary Clinton. This directly contradicts what don junior told msnbc news that this meeting happened in 2016. He was asked to attend by an acquaintance and was not told the name of the person i would be meeting, and russian adoption policies. If the times report is accurate it would be the first evidence of som...

Would benefit both the russians and trump. trump makes some money and the russians gets to hide some money in the united states. so this is not just a matter of a relationship between the trumps and russia that started in the presidential campaign. this goes long, way back. and patterns matter when you're doing investigations. >> joyce, when patterns matter, as the governor suggests there, as brian says, there is no hard evidence that provides some type of definitive connection. so how high of a bar is it for bob mueller and others doing these investigations in d.c. trying to seek an answer? >...

Oh, it was about the campaign -- but it didn't make any sense because she was saying things about hillary clinton and the russians and then we talked about adoptions. it doesn't -- it is not a very sensible sequence of statements by donald trump jr. >> brian, when it comes to jared kushner and his relevance with being taken into this meeting by don junior in this statement, he says he asked jared and paul to attend but told them nothing of substance. how does this already hurt his role inside the white house because of the fact that there were omissions for his security clearance when it came ...
