the explosive revelation there was another russian in that meeting. >> i'm more than happy to cooperate with everyone. >> i never even spoke to anybody about russia. i never heard the word russia. >> this meeting is a very damaging revelation. i can see why they might want to cover it up. >> makes for a fascinating novel and a fascinating movie one day
3:01 am
but none of it violates the law. >> neighbors couldn't see the young boy entangled in a murder last week. >> it dragged the vehicle and the injured couple about a hundred yards. >> it was with standing up to 10 feet per hour swallowing nearly everything in its path. >> at 37 venus williams is back on top. she is poised to become the oldest woman's grand slam champion in the open era. >> this is "new day" weekend with victor blackwell and christie paul. >> good saturday morning to you. so grateful to have you with us here. first it was four, now it's eight, the story about donald trump jr.'s secret meeting seems to be changing. >> there were even more russians
3:02 am
in the room just days after he said he revealed everything. yesterday, he watched the u.s. women's open. this also comes on a pivotal weekend on one of his campaign promises to repeal and replace obamacare. the bill gets a cbo score next week but it could hinge on one more senator saying no. and at least eight people aend tended that meeting in russia. several more than donald trump jr. had disclosed. a lobbyist who one senator has accused of being soviet counter intelligence. >> reporter: the june 2016 meeting with donald trump jr., jared kushner and paul manafort.
3:03 am
russian american lobbiest told several media outlets that he was also in the meeting. he told reporters for the new york times and washington post that he's a veteran of the soviet army. senate judiciary chairman described him as one with ties to russian intelligence. someone alleged to have conducted political disinformation campaigns as part of a pro russia lobbying effort. >> plainly this russian attorney, this other third party, they were present, they were there to both deliver a message as well as to receive a message and plainly moscow only understood too well that this is conduct that the trump campaign would appreciate. >> he denied any links to the washington post saying at no time have i worked at the
3:04 am
russian government or any of its agencies. he also told the post he was born in russia and became a u.s. citizen in 2009. his lobbying effort which he did on behalf of the russian lawyer veselnitska veselnitskaya, a complaint filed claims the effort was on behalf of the kremlin. he has also been accused according to court papers filed in new york in 2015 of hacking on behalf of one company into the computer systems of a rival company to steal confidential information in a business dispute. the company, imr with drew the accusation soon after without providing a reason. in an earlier related case he denied a similar accusation saying in an affidavit quote, i am not a computer specialist and i am not capable of hacking. he was well known in washington for being connected to very
3:05 am
powerful people in russia, both in the business world there and in government and one more note, though he was born in russia he immigrated to the u.s. and is now a u.s. citizen and as a u.s. citizen he can be subpoenaed to testify before the investigating committees on the hill. cnn, washington. thank you. let's talk now with cnn political commentator, deputy editors at the weekly standard and cnn legal analyst. good morning to all of you and let me start with you. now we know there were eight people at this meeting which was not initially disclosed by donald trump jr. the significance of this rolling disclosure as we learn more day after day about this meeting. >> exactly. it seems like we're learning something new every day. i'm waiting for new revelations by the hour by the end of the weekend. and that is the problem. if nothing happened, if
3:06 am
everything was on the up and up why wasn't this disclosed immediately and why weren't the full details disclosed immediately? i recall donald trump jr. saying when this story first started coming out that i didn't know who was going to be at this meeting. then we find out in the e-mails that he had to have those names for security to let them into trump tower. then he said i didn't let jared kushner or paul manafort know what the substance of the meeting was going to be. but we know from the e-mail chain that said i have information from a russian government lawyer against hillary clinton. so the claim that he's being transparent is hard to believe because it proves he is inaccurate if not lying from the beginning. >> let's go to one person we've learned was in this meeting. this russian lobbyist, what's the significance of his addition
3:07 am
considering he wrote this letter back in april saying that he was someone alleged to have conducted political campaigns as part of a pro russia lobbying effort. >> that same letter alleges that he's affiliated with russian counterintelligence. of course he says that's not true, but these are questions that were asked long before the revelations of what is now i guess day eight of this latest sort of slap over what went on at this meeting so congress was already on to this gentleman. he himself has told the press that yes, i work for the russian government, i came out of the russian military, i was at the meeting and these are the kind of things that we talked about. more sort of logs adds to the fire and here again, you know, if we accept that everything we've heard, this shifting story has been inaccurate or untrue up until now, there's almost nothing that you can rely on from the white house and from
3:08 am
donald trump jr. about what else was going on at the time. you know, you closely read those e-mails and the reality is it looks like something much larger was going on of when this meeting is just a part. >> the group filed a complaint with the fcc alleging that the campaign violated campaign law by soliciting something of value here. is there a black and white answer to if there has been some violation of law or does it as most things do live in the gray? >> it lives in the gray and here's why. one of the applicable sections prohibits anything of value from a campaign from a foreign government and that foreign government is defined to include any foreign national, but it requires a thing of value. and yes, you can say theoretically information has value, but if you say that, then almost anything has value.
3:09 am
so the mere fact that two people meet with the idea that they could get information really doesn't go to the thing of value that was likely envisioned by campaign finance laws. when you also start talking about things like collusion and conspiracy, you know, these all require a lot of ifs at this point. as kelly said, this is a changing narrative and tomorrow may bring new facts that support some crime, but as long as everybody is talking about if this person was connected with russian government, if donald trump jr. knew, with all these ifs, those do not lead to probable cause or even a conviction and that's even under an expansive definition that you usually see in most federal criminal laws. >> i want you to listen to kellyanne conway on fox news talking about what she says is a moving goal post. >> well, even the goal posts have been moved.
3:10 am
we were promised hard evidence of systemic sustained collusion that not only interfered with our election process, but indeed dictated the electoral outcome. >> obviously a spin there from the white house but it was the white house who said there was absolutely no collusion at all, even saying it will remember the incoming vice president's interview with cbs saying there were no additional meeting with russia after the flynn revelation. >> i'm so glad you played that clip because i had tried to memorize her words because i wanted to bring them up and i was having trouble remembering exactly what she said but there it is. and you know what? the goal posts have been moved but she and the white house have moved them, not anybody else. you're right. they said from the beginning there was no collusion with russia. there was absolutely none at all. there were no more contacts than those we've mentioned. now she's saying actually it was
3:11 am
systemic furtive collusion. no, come on. they said from the beginning there was no collusion from the russian government and now you have an e-mail chain in which somebody tells the president's son that hey, we have someone from the russian government that wants to help him and he says i love it. i mean, how can you possibly say that when you said earlier there was no collusion, nothing to do with the russian, it's really quite ridiculous and it's amazing to me that this still going on and the reason it's still going on and it's because of those denials. >> the defenders have said that even up to this point he has been transparent. we're still learning more about this meeting, things that he did not say in the initial press release from his attorney. first, yahoo news is reporting that criminal defense attorney is joining the president's legal team and he's going to be answering questions about russia, but unlike some who are
3:12 am
defending the president he's going ton working in the white house as a white house staffer and not really reporting to the white house counsel. what's the significance of putting this attorney inside the white house? >> i think in a case like this the lawyers that are closer to and directly representing donald trump as a personalty relationship, they might be a slightly different procedure situation than an attorney who is directly retained by the white house, but practically speaking i don't think you're going to see a lot of difference. you may see a little more transparency from a white house lawyer than you might see from trump's private lawyer, especially one that he has used for many years, but i wouldn't expect too much difference in the narrative. i think we're going to see very similar sort of messages from each. >> all right. we've run out of time.
3:13 am
you get first question next time. thank you so much. it is yet another make or break weekend for health care reform it seems. the president and vice president are really pushing right now and senate majority leader cannot afather's day to lose one vote. and four men killed in pennsylvania. why at least one of these men have confessed to police and told them what happened. >> also, three people dead after a fire breaks out in a high rise apartment building. >> i smelled something burning and i looked over my left shoulder and i saw black billowing smoke. you hear these stories all the time. am i going to pass away like my mom did? and so you know this is something that's important. losing my mom to heart disease and then being diagnosed myself.
3:14 am
it's like a war we're trying to fight against these diseases. resilience is in my dna. i won't die like my mom. it's a big challenge, but the challenge in it of itself is really what keeps me going. i could really make a difference in these people's lives. that would be my dream. when you switch to progressive. as easy as saving $600 winds stirring. too treacherous for a selfie.

men. cosmo dinardo and sean kratz facing murder, robbery and other charges. dinardo detailed crimes to police only after the death penalty was taken off the table from him. these men were lured on to property with promises of buying marijuana. instead they were shot, killed and buried there. their bodies have since been recovered. >> at least three people were killed when a large fire ungulfed a honolulu high rise. five of those victims are in serious condition. this started friday on the 26th floor of the apartments which has 538 units, we're told. roughly 100 firefighters worked to put out those flames and get those people out. >> i looked down, i could see the billowing smoke coming up, and this is really sad. i heard three women's voices
3:22 am
screaming, pleading, moaning, please help me, please, continuous screaming for five or ten minutes and then i didn't hear anymore. >> the investigators do not know what started this fire but we've learned from authorities that the building did not have sprinklers. and this is some serious video. look at this thing. a giant sink hole swallowing two homes there. officials said the sink hole does appear to have stopped expanding at this point but nine other homes in the area were evacuated. the hole this is estimated to be about 50 feet deep is full of water as you saw there. it's not draining due to all that debris, so recovery and repair operations are set to begin shortly. a massive wildfire has forced people to leave their homes in santa barbara california. the whittier fire started july

3:29 am
as this incident is concerned this is all of it? >> this is everything. >> so fast forward to this morning and take a look at the list. we now know at least eight people were in that meeting including a woman who presented herself as a russian government lawyer and a russian american lobbyist there as well. the e-mails may have started the fire storm. he's not the one that ended up with a job at the white house though, that's jared kushner and now democrats are calling for his security clearance to be revoked now. >> not only will the russia investigation not go away, it is now circling closer and closer around someone who is described as very close to the president. inauguration week and the president's son-in-law files his first papers for security clearance on january 18th. jared kushner reveals no contact with any foreigners during the
3:30 am
campaign or transition, but the next day he says he hit that send button too soon and will amend that. in may according to his lawyer the papers are updated to show kushner had over 100 calls or meetings with representatives of more than 20 countries, most during the transition. by mid june as they prepare for congressional testimony, kush r kushner's lawyers say they discovered the e-mail from donald trump jr. setting up that meeting last year with russian lawyer veselnitskaya allegedly to get dirt on hillary clinton. kushner attended that meeting which donald jr. says was a bust. >> it went nowhere and it was apparent that's not what the meeting was about. >> on june 21st, kushner amended his security papers again to reflect his attendance at that meeting and according to a source close to kushner he said he was going to tell president trump. we don't know if he did. >> nothing happened from the
3:31 am
meeting. >> reporter: yet even as the president calls the russian lawyer meeting meaningless, he's also saying he learned about it only days ago. >> he was not aware of the meeting, did not attend the meeting and was only informed about the e-mail very recently by his counsel. >> reporter: kushner's late admission of that meeting has earned sharp interest in his contacts because as an advisor all meetings with foreigners must be listed. >> those meetings were conveniently forgotten by mr. kushner. >> the russian lawyer says neither kushner then trump campaign manager played much of a role. >>. >> translator: he was only one i was speaking to. >> reporter: but amid all the late revelations, democrats are fuming that kushner was given
3:32 am
security clearance at all. >> anybody else applying for a clearance under these facts would be denied that clearance. >> of the three representatives of donald trump known to be at that meeting with the russian lawyer, kushner is the only one who is now an official advisor to the president. that puts him squarely in the cross hairs of investigators looking to find out if anyone did anything illegal. >> we'll talk more about that next hour. the trump administration's election integrity commission attempting to respond to concerns over potentially releasing sensitive information of likely voter just released sensitive personal information. last month the commission asked every state for a complete list of voter information. here is some of the criteria. the affiliation there, addresses, last four digits of the social security number. some outrage expressed concerns their information would be made public. the commission then posted those
3:33 am
e-mails online, several contained that sensitive information including physical addresses, one even had some obscene material and as of this morning that personal information is still posted there publicly. >> a dramatic rescue in texas and police body camera caught it after an suv with two people inside crashed into a stopped train and then the train began to move. >> reporter: just after 2:30 -- >> got at least one inside trapped. >> reporter: a police officer arrived at the scene. this suv was westbound on main near highway 3 when it hit a stopped train. >> i know, buddy. we've got medics coming. >> reporter: and suddenly as the officer tried to get out two people inside -- >> what the --? tell it to stop! stop the train!
3:34 am
call the railroad company and tell them to stop moving. they're dragging the car with people inside. >> reporter: the train started to move. >> go to the front of the train and tell them to stop moving. >> it dragged the car and the injured couple about 100 yards. >> reporter: the officer tried to coordinate efforts to get the attention of the engineer to get dispatch to call union pacific. >> we're getting them to stop. >> reporter: finally they got the train to stop, only then could they tend to the injuries. >> wow. well, police say that the engineer as you can imagine did not realize the suv was stuck under his train. the driver of the suv is listed in serious condition and the passenger's injuries we're told are not considered to be life threatening. a big reason to celebrate.

against the player she's facing muguruza. so i think one thing that's important to mention is that venus has lost eight grand slam finals but in seven of them it's been serena on the other side of the net. this would be the opportunity to get that grand slam title. >> and roger federer heading toward his eighth final tomorrow i think it is. yeah, sunday. his chances looking pretty good? >> yeah, i mean, roger is playing so well, he was the favorite going in and he became more of the favorite after some of his rivals lost. you think of what he's done in this tournament, 11 finals. if he wins tomorrow he's playing cilic, he'd be the first man to win eight wimbledon titles but i
3:52 am
don't think it's a foregone conclusion. when they met her last year, match points on federer, he came back from two sets down to win and also cilic has beaten him at a grand slam at the u.s. open in 201 2014 but one thing is for sure. tomorrow the fans will be so behind federer. he's the fan favorite. >> that's what i was asking you about. there are so many tennis fans in the world but they rarely get to go and watch. how much does the support in the stands even though you've got to be kwquiet, do you feel that energy? does it make a difference to who's playing? >> i think it does make a difference. that's something federer has talked about. he missed the last six months of last season because of a knee injury and he came back after that. he's 35 years old. one of the reasons he came back
3:53 am
is because he loves competing around the world, because he gets so much great support from everybody who watches him play. and that includes you know, some of his great rivals when he takes on nadal or murray and it's because not only of the way he plays which is such a graceful artistic game but also of what he does and he's a fluid player and so popular. >> interesting. so good to have you with us this morning. thank you. all right. it was, people, a selfie gone wrong. can you believe this? hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of art sculptures damaged when a woman tries to take the perfect photo of herself at an art exhibit. ugh, no bars.
