information to the industrialist in moscow who had done business with trump, it's a long dpli complicated story. then to the son, then to promoter and then to donald trump jr. >> right. >> it's classic russian stuff. in other words, there are so many people in that pipeline that you get two things out of it, you get confusion, took us a long time to figure that out. number two, you get plausible denial. number three, the russians get a down payment because donald trump jr. took the bait. when they offered dirt on hillary, he said yes. if that had never been discovered, if the press had r never picked it up and two years from now russia wanted something from the trump administration, they have what's called kompromat, have an e-mail in which donald trump jr. "a" says i'm game, and "b" did not notify the fbi. >> so maybe the press saved don jr. from later headaches. >> i think -- >> or perhaps the country. john mclaughlin, jeremy bash,
himself as donald trump. all of a sudden he was all over me kissing and groping and groping and kissing. then when his hand started going up my skirt, i'm not a small person. i managed to wiggle out and stand up. >> i worked in trump tower at a company that actually did business with trump. i saw him frequently. one day i decided to introduce myself because i did see him regularly. he shook my hand and he kind of gave me the normal double cheek kiss but then he held onto my hand and he kept kissing me and then he kissed me on the lips. i was shocked. >> we're going to be hearing a lot more about this throughout the day. we have breaking news. the u.s. said it is expelling 60 russian diplomats and russia is responding. it's been 40 days since the school shooting in parkland,
assaulted in an elevator in 2005. here she is in her own words. >> i worked in trump tower in a company that actually did business with trump. and i saw him frequently. one day i decided to introduce myself because i did see him regularly. and he shook my hand. and he kind of gave me the normal double-cheek kiss. but then he held on to my hand and kept kissing me. and then he kissed me on the lips. and i was shocked. >> i'm not done yet, mindy mcgillivray said donald trump kissed her at a concert in 2003. natasha stoynoff said he pushed her against the wall and jammed his tongue down her throat in 2005. jennifer murphy said trump kissed her on the lips after a job interview in 2005. yahoo! news reported cassandra
