>> fox news alert over the content and follow-up. hello, welcome to you i'm julie banderas. >> this new word that donald trump, jr., learned from an email that the russian government was supposedly behind it all and had dirt on hillary clinton's campaign and moscow is willing to share it. the president's eldest son supposedly learned this before his meeting with that russian lawyer that was said to have ties to vladimir putin, although she has denied it. the lawyer is speaking out about it today. >> i never knew who else would be attending the meeting. all i knew is that donald trump, jr., was wanting to meet with me. >> eric: not so fast, kevin corke at the white house with the very latest reaction. >> could talk to you. i want to be careful how we characterize this because it sounds a little bit like deep

state stuff. i want to be careful because when somebody says we have information, you get this reporting and people are using name sources or saying according to people whose names in the certain email. i want to tell you what we do know versus what has been reported publicly. let's begin there. "new york times" has been reporting that at least three people according to them have seen this email that apparently was sent to donald trump, jr., last year and in that email, it informed him that any material that might come from that now infamous meeting with this russian lawyer may have actually been part of a government effort to aid his father's candidacy. the lawyer for don, jr., spoke with ben gomez this morning and he said among many things, "at no time was there ever understanding or commitment that

he, speaking of donald, jr., or anyone else, would find that information, whatever it turned out to be, to be reliable, credible, or of interest, or would even survive due diligence. bottom line, is that don, jr., did nothing wrong. the russian lawyer at the center of the story, natalia veselnitskaya spoke with nbc news. here's what she said. >> it appears that they were going to be told some information that you had about the dnc, how did they get that impression? >> it's quite possible that maybe they were looking for such information. they wanted it so badly. >> have you ever worked for the russian government? do you have connections to the russian government? >> no. >> in any language, no, i don't work for the russian government. that's what she said. clearly, what will happen from this point forward, donald trump, jr., said i'm happy to talk to the senate

intelligence committee and share what i know about that meeting et cetera, but there would be other questions now asked by lawmakers on capitol hill about why he took a meeting with a person that potentially could have been an agent while the foreign government -- even though you just heard the woman there say she was not acting in that capacity. >> eric: kevin, thank you. >> julie: meantime, democrats reacting to the developments. the democratic national committee issuing a statement. "this isn't just smoke anymore, donald trump, jr., was a stomach to my stomach the president's lawyer insisting there is nothing illegal here. listen. >> this is much ado about

nothing. it was a meeting with an individual lawyer who was rushing. that's what has been reported as an supposedly have information regarding hillary clinton, which she didn't and the meeting turned out to be about what? a political campaign. these things happen. no one has pointed to me where there is a legal violation of a meeting with the russian lawyer that involved the campaign, okay? okay? >> julie: john mccormick is joining us now, political writer let's just get down to the wire. donald trump, jr., he has admitted that he met with a russian lawyer last june at trump tower with ties to putin. now the times is reporting and i want to quote, "before arranging a meeting with a kremlin connected russian lawyer, he believed would offer him compromising information about hillary clinton, donald trump, jr., was informed

in an email that the material was part of a russian government effort to aid his father's candidacy." robert, i want your take. >> that is the key allegation right there. i think if that's true, that is definitely the first example of a credible specific example of high-level attempted collusion between high-level trump operatives, the trump campaign and hostile foreign government. again, we haven't seen this email. the interesting thing is that his lawyer didn't deny that specific charge, that material that the material came from the russian government. i do think this would be if true, a clear example of -- just imagine, a high level clearly

campaign saw information from a hostile country, they would be howling with outrage and really so. again, we need to go through with this investigation. a very serious accusation. >> julie: i want to report that donald trump, jr., just tweeted something, i want to read to you. media and dems are externally invested in the russia story. it is all they have. after a year, i understand the desperation. i should mention, collusion is not necessarily illegal. if we can explain this to our viewers. if there was an arrangement or a deal made that if you do this for us, we will then exchange the favor once my father is elected president, we will do favors for you. we don't know what conversation was held within these people. there is no speculation there on our behalf.

donald trump, jr., has in fact hired outside legal help, no real surprise considering his father has done the same a while back. the white house is clearly backing away from trump, jr., and this meeting. what does that tell you? >> that's right, the important thing to bear in mind about the news that broke yesterday about donald trump junior hiring legal help is that it came later than many folks would have expected. we've seen a number of white house insiders lawyer up over the past few weeks which is what any reasonable person would do if they are being safe or if they're facing this kind of investigation. the fact that it took him so long to bring on a leader, it's a mistake according to criminal defense attorney so i spoke with last night. i spoke with a former federal prosecutor. he said the donald trump, jr., has probably damaged himself and

has probably made his lawyer's job harder by making so many public announcements about this investigation. >> julie: i need to interrupt you both because now donald trump, jr., has in fact dumped his email and full email chain on twitter. he writes here is my statement and the full email chain. he has gone ahead and released the email chain. therefore, "the new york times" has pretty much been put out a halt here as far as any speculation surrounding what in fact was said in this email. the report by "the new york times" today essentially says that he was told before this meeting that this meeting was going to be with a russian lawyer who had not only potential damaging information on hillary clinton, but that in fact somehow they wanted to help the trump campaign, considering, and you must note this, that

donald trump, jr.,'s lawyer last night did not deny the existence of that email. this proves that it does exist. it also didn't address the accusation that he knew ahead of time with the meeting was going to be about. with this being released by donald trump, jr., does this get him out of this mess? >> it could, this is a really interesting development. we'll have to look and see what's going on there. with that legal question, that's what robert mueller is going to be looking at an it's the underlying issue of whether or not there was collusion. think back to the last presiden president, bill clinton, his illicit and morally wrong relationship with an intern was not illegal, but lying about it and objective justice was. >> julie: have to be more information because this is coming in as we are speaking. taking a deeper look at this

email, it might not look so good for donald trump junior. first of all, the times now has the email to donald trump junior offering russia aid and in the email, they basically say they want information, nothing wrong with that if he wants to meet with someone who has damaging information, nothing wrong with that. a hostile foreign government that wants to help a political campaign, yes, there is a problem with that. here is donald trump, jr.,'s reply and i'm quoting. "if it's what you say, i love it." he obviously wanted information to potentially help his father's campaign, there is no proof here that he was going to try to make some sort of deal in exchange for favors, however, it doesn't

look good that he was in fact dealing with this russian lawye lawyer. >> exactly, and this gets to the level of legal advice and he's getting. it's incredible a perplexing that don, jr., would post to this email chain on twitter hoping that somehow it would exonerate him. the reality is that what's in these emails raises more questions than the emails themselves necessarily answer and additionally, it's a legal fact of this case which is largely unprecedented. we don't how a prosecutor would approach the information. we don't know if there are additional emails and beyond that, some of those campaign finance law about how people working on american campaigns are or are not allowed to interact or work in tandem or even share information with foreigners are complex. there are some things that some lawyers are arguing as we speak, it's not something that was a clear black and white answer.

the fact that don, jr., showed this email where he says i love it, that someone might have information from a foreign source that a foreign person might have information as damaging to his father's political opponent, i don't know for sure if there was anything legal that happen, but there was certainly nothing helpful. this doesn't make don, jr.,'s life easier. this makes it harder. >> julie: one last tweet. here's page four which did not post due to space constraints. he ends it with this and this is the last tweet. ed said that the left today would rather see america suffer and fail than to see it succeed with donald trump at the helm. thank you both very much for talking to us. >> eric: will have a lot more in the donald trump junior emails ahead of the sour, what he says, what they are, and what they could mean.

meanwhile, another investigation into a tragedy. a deadly crash of a military plane and our heartland. witnesses explain hearing an explosion before watching that aircraft fall from the sky. will have a live update ahead. and a 15 year army veteran now facing terrorism charges. federal authorities say he was doing something to help isis. >> he's not a real outgoing, he's never been, but neither was i. i wasn't too outgoing, and kind of keep to myself. beyond that, he is a great kid, a normal kid. termites.

we're on the move. hey rick, all good? oh yeah, we're good. we're good. terminix. defenders of home.

we believe was affiliated with isis. they brought the matter to our attention. we have worked very cooperatively throughout and i want to thank the army's investigative resources. >> eric: a decorated veteran with two deployments in iraq and afghanistan is now stunningly faces terrorism charges. the army first tipping off the fbi about first-class ikaika kang about concerns he was be coming radicalized even though he was a member of our military. kang was arrested on saturday after allegedly pledging allegiance to isis and buying a drone to get to isis terrorists overseas to use against our own troops. a former u.s. army intelligence officer is with us. a very stunning and shocking development.

>> there's two particularly concerning aspects of this case. one was at the individual was a sergeant first class that took 15 years to get to. usually these individuals are much more new than that. second of all, he was in an incredibly critical position of authority. he was an air traffic controller. he had real-time access to where the united states was sending troops, materials, weapons, and so forth. that means that any given moment, he could have a snapshot of american military posture towards our enemies. >> eric: what does that mean? >> i think the answer to that question is going to come out of the answer to why the army gave him a security clearance back in 2013 after it had yanked it in 2012 because of its concern of his radicalism. how the break don't happen, why they gave him that security

clearance back when clearly, this individual was not saying the right things, is a question that congress needs to answer. >> eric: let me show you what the honolulu newspapers are reporting today. this goes back to 2011. you talk about six years ago, let me show you this. if we can put up the full screen from that. in 2011, he allegedly made threatening statements to allegedly hurt or kill service members and for arguing pro isis views while on duty. that was six years ago. they revoked his security clearance in 2012, but the next year they reinstated it. apparently he passed some tests. they say he supported omar mateen, the gunman. and he supposedly helped isis use drones against our own troops. tell me a bit about what his role was as an air traffic controller. that is basically someone who

controls the drones. >> that's exactly right. he controlled drones, he has his finger on the poles of america's global infrastructure and his military force. i think with the 2013 decision tells us about giving back the security clearance to this individual is that there is seriously a culture of political quickness in the military that prevents looking at statements like the ones he made in saying this person should not be in the military. i'm sorry, that's too much, will have to find someone else. why that was not done as a desperately needed question. >> eric: we saw that before in the fort hood killer in this sort of thing, finally, what should the military do, what should intelligence do to weed out these individuals allowed sooner? speak out we have to have of what they're doing before they're separated from military. i understand of the fbi in this case conducted a sting operatio

operation, but the fbi and army simply does not have the investigative resources to spend this much time, five years, and every single case of potential radicalism. there has to be a cut off much earlier when the military says, thanks for your service, but you've grown too extreme, goodbye and by the way, we are going to the fbi know. >> eric: may be more than just a thanks for your service, but you're going to the clink. thank you for joining us on this troubling news. >> julie: a tragic accident takes the lives of 15 marines and one sailor. i had, an update on the crash to the military plane in mississippi.

>> julie: a fox news alert, and all the bodies of 15 marines and one navy sailor found in the wreckage of akc 1:30 tanker transport plane that crashed in rural mississippi last night. it was asked of the public to stay clear of the area of search efforts continue. >> we don't want nobody out there. we don't want anybody without responders in the area or tampering around in the area. >> julie: jonathan jonathan see joins me live. >> as we speak, the marines are in the process of notifying the victims of the families while investigators try to determine what exactly went wrong. what we do know is the plane was a kc-130 transport.

it had taken from the marine corps air station and cherry port north carolina and was carrying personnel and equipment to el centro in northern california. it included very small arms, ammunition, and personal weapons according to marines. the marines say they were contacted by the faa when the aircraft disappeared from radar somewhere over mississippi. the plane went down and a soybean field in rural leflore county, that's about 85 miles north of jackson. witnesses say the aircraft spiraled into the ground and burst into flames. listen. >> a crashing noise. it was loud. >> ed was scary because i saw a lot of black smoke. >> there are no reports of any injuries on the ground, but it is confirm that all 16 members on the air board died in the crash.

those victims included 15 marines and one navy core man. this morning, president donald trump tweeted marine plane crash in mississippi is heartbreaking. melania and i send our deepest condolences to all. marines are withholding the names of those service members for now while they continue to reach out to family members and loved ones. >> julie: thank you. >> eric: we take you for a live look at capitol hill where the senate is at work and trying to revamp the troubled health care bill and it's their effort to try and repeal and replace obamacare, but the big question, can republicans come come up with something and pass it before the august recess? they are saying they can have a vote next week. we'll take a look at that with our political analyst coming up. the disturbing disappearance of four young man, this occurring in the suburbs of philadelphia. police have arrested a man and the charges against him in this disturbing case. >> we don't know as of yet what

exactly will be revealed. think again.

>> what i'm spending, every waking moment doing right now is trying to bring together and unify republicans, trying to bring together conservatives and moderates and leadership and the administration, get everyone on the same page and say, let's deliver on the promise. >> i promised to vote to repeal obamacare, was when the bell looks more like repeal, i can be

a "yes." i think the current bill keeps the fundamental flaw of obamacare. >> julie: senator cruz seems to been born, senator paul, not so much as a senate g.o.p. leaders hope to unveil a revamped health care bill, just days from now with a vote expected by next week. joining us now, josh holmes, former chief of staff to senator mitch mcconnell and jim kessler, former legislative and director to chuck schumer. john, thank you very much for talking to us. josh, i want to start with you because now that ted cruz is on board, how might he help influence those senators who still aren't? >> it's incredibly important, what senator cruz understands, what president trump understands, what majority leader mitch mcconnell understands as this is the one opportunity that republicans have to keep a campaign promise that dates back almost eight years. a fundamental core promise that they will in fact repeal and

replace obamacare. this the opportunity. failure to do so at this point will almost collapse insurance markets around the country which at that point, we'll end up in insurance bailout. this is an opportunity that republican senators cannot miss and that's what you hear out of ted cruz, mitch mcconnell, donald trump, and so many others republicans from the country. >> julie: well president trump continues to put pressure on g.o.p. senators check to a cliche, he did so as recently as yesterday, you've got something we might have to go to a straight forward repeal if they cannot agree an alternative. with a replacement seeming less and less likely, which of these two options do you believe is the most realistic? >> i think repeal and replace later which is what pentz was talking about. let's jump out of the plane first and worry about the parachute later. i don't think it's going to work. i think some of the most conservative members of the

g.o.p. caucus in the senate would go for a repeal of the replace. but their moderate republican senators won't do it. i don't see any way to get to 50 with that and i think it's a bad idea and i don't think it's going to work. >> julie: i have to ask you both know about the revelations made public today, first by "the new york times," then confirmed by donald, jr., himself on twitter during this hour after he released emails that show that he knowingly had contact with russians who wanted to help the trim campaign. i want to read part of the email which reads, the documents would incriminate hillary, and this is coming from the prisoners at the meeting. "the documents would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be very useful to your father. it goes on to say that this is very high-level and sensitive information, but as part of russia and its government to aid his father's campaign. trump, jr., replied within minutes and i'm reading, "if it's what you say, i love it,

especially later in the summer." josh, your reaction? >> this is a great problem you have with today's public life is that the court of public opinion renders a verdict much more quickly than the ultimate court of law, which we know renders a verdict that is far more harsh and is the temptation for many and public life to get out there side of the story as quickly as possible. my strong advice to everybody in the trump administration, if you're confident about your position here, that you didn't do anything wrong, let your lawyers deal with it, for goodness sake. i can't imagine what they get by putting this out. this is a process it's going to take some time and will be cooperative with both the special counsel and folks in congress and i'm confident at the end of the day that they'll come to the same realization that nobody has at this point, that there is no there there. this is really troubling. this is something to be said about looking into this. >> julie: is there a need they

are there? what about the fact that donald trump, jr., is taking all the heat and bearing all the brunt on this, let's not forget jared kushner was also there, also paul manafort. neither of them had issued any statement on twitter or revealed any of their involvement, so it seems that their lawyers are giving them advice and we know donald trump, jr., has hired his own personal lawyer. you believe his lawyer put them up to releasing his emails, especially that it puts a cap on "the new york times" because i can't keep dripping all this information out? >> i think the trumps know how to wage it. it's a public battle in the press that they're doing pretty well, they don't know how to wage a legal battle. i think we just crossed into a new zone of seriousness about these russia allegations and it's gone into a devcon five. these are very, very disturbing

emails. this is basically dealing with russian agents, russian spies, this smells a lot like collusion. i think there is a there there, i'm not sure this administration lasts the entire term because of this, and it's getting worse every day, and i also think that we just saw, donald trump junior sort of abandoning jared kushner and paul manafort and going in his own direction. you've got three very, very vulnerable senior people now not on the same page. i think this is trouble for them and deservedly so, frankly. >> julie: i want to just point out, the russian luxury real estate developer, businessman estimated to be worth $1.9 billion, he also has ties to the government and to put in. he is the one that wanted this meeting to be set up. he's the big man in the background, and then you've got rob goldstone, he is the music

publicist who first met trump junior at the miss universe 2013 in moscow. he is the one who is having this email exchange with donald trump junior. josh, the question has been out there since james comey was fired, since robert mueller was appointed special counsel, about whether or not the trim campaign and fact did collude with russi russia. do you believe that this raises any suspicion, whatsoever, i'm not this is evidence, the collusion to take place? so far, the fbi has been unable to provide any actual evidence. do you believe this does raise some suspicion of possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia? >> there's an awful lot of critics are going to jump to conclusions that this is a smoking gun. the reality is, as far as amending its own, absolutely nothing came out of this. if you're looking for collusion, there's nothing there. the problem at this poses for

the trump administration and donald trump, jr., is that there was intense. he was willing to entertain the conversation and thus the piece of this puzzle that robert mueller has to get to the bottom of and figure out when they not anybody did actually collude. until they do that, we're just talking about complete innuendo. we're just assuming that perhaps something may be could have happened because of contact with some other people we don't know. in reality, what we have here is an intent issue that they need to clarify. >> julie: yesterday, the senator of maine, susan collins had said that the senate appropriations committee when they should be investigating, they should be talking to donald trump junior. i wonder if that changes in all of these emails have been basically released to the public. we have to wait and see. that is all the time we have. josh holmes, jim kessler, appreciate you both. >> eric: meanwhile, we have a fox news alert on the mysterious disappearance it up into four young men in suburban philadelphia who had gone missing. the news conference by police had just wrapped up and they

have made an arrest. the district attorney they're saying have nabbed a man who ws linked to property that becomes the center of the police surge. they consider this person a person of interest. >> we are not exactly sure what we're going to find they are, but we are pretty confident that the investigation is proceeding in the direction that we believed that it would, and we don't know as of yet what will be revealed. >> eric: rick leventhal live in pennsylvania with this mystery. >> we got some new information from the d.a., but there was a lot he said he could not tell us. he did confirm at this massive ongoing search of some 90 acres of farmland and property owned,

he denied reports that bodies had been found. he said emphatically, no human remains have yet been recovered and he says a 40-50 police cadets are now helping local, state, and federal authorities and a fine tooth comb like search of that property. he did not give specifics about let him there beyond saying that the 20-year-old son, cosmo dinardo was an interest in this case. authorities say he has a history of mental illness, was involuntarily committed to a mental facility at one point and was rearrested and his bail was set at $1 million which is unusually high for a weapons charge. >> he's the person of interest. i think if somebody is charged with something, it's fair to say what to a judge that you've now become a greater flight risk. >> authorities could not clarify any connection between dinardo

and the foreman. they were friends, or know each other, and the families are keeping vigils near that search site. authorities are asking the public for any information on those for missing men's final moments to see if they can link them up and find them before it's too late. >> eric: this is a heartbreaking time for these families, thank you. >> julie: president trump's son and namesake hitting back at claims of wrongdoing with meeting with a russian lawyer. what he just tweeted. a former cia officer breaks down investigations into donald trump junior. >> it's quite possible that they were looking for such information.

efforts that rob goldstone wanted to pass along damaging information on hillary clinton. those emails lead to that meeting with the russian lawyer who told nbc news this morning that she was not looking for the russian government and had no information on mrs. clinton, saying "i never had any damaging or sensitive information about hillary clinton, it was never my intention to have that" and she denied she was working for the kremlin. >> have you worked with the russian government? do you have connections to the russian government? >> no. >> eric: the emails the president's son released showed that natalia veselnitskaya did have damaging information on mrs. clinton and he responded in the email "i love it." you got this woman, she is a lawyer, well known, these emails

are going back and forth, and they seem to indicate that donald trump, jr., was told that she was a russian government attorney. she had damaging information from the russian government. is it appropriate that he had this type of meeting or is it a misguided effort to try and help his dad? >> it's a bit of both. first of all, if i could point out that my simon cowell-like t-shirt, i just got off the river fishing and had to race over to the studio, i don't have time to change, so i apologize for that. the fish were biting, so i don't apologize for that. the issue with this meeting, there are several aspects. one is that every campaign, and he campaign out there, local, state, federal, it doesn't matter. any campaign that says they wouldn't entertain a meeting with someone who contacts them and says they have a derogatory information for the other side, they're lying.

>> eric: what about a hostile adversary to the united states for america? >> let's not forget that the democratic opposition was busy working with a company called gps fusion, which was busy -- go gps fusion denied that there was any involvement with this woman and this meeting. >> i'm not making a connection. what i'm saying is the democratic opposition was working specifically to gather information. neither side has clean hands here when it comes to going outside of the border's look for opposition research. >> eric: will make it to the email. the prosecutor offered the trunk campaign with some official

documents and information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia, it would be very useful to your father. this is very high-level and sensitive information, but in this part of russia and its government support for mr. trump. do you think this wasn't, even though the layer denies it, a kremlin effort, covert perhaps, to try and help donald trump and hurt hillary clinton, or as i said earlier, friends helping friends and know how saying there's nothing here? >> the problem is, any time you're contacted by somebody from outside your borders, russian or chinese or anyone, you've got a responsibility to vet those individuals. part of this is the lack of organization and discipline within the trump organization during that campaign and afterwards, still in terms of who they meet with. part of it, could this be connected question mike of course it could be. the russians -- we know for a fact that they've been meddling

in our elections. was natalia veselnitskaya connected to the kremlin? well, she's lying when she says she doesn't have any government connections. she was married to a transportation minister. you have to vet these people before you entertain them and do that meeting. what i'm saying is every opposition group, every campaign out there is going to entertain the idea of taking that meeting, but a disciplined one, one with actual experience would vent and check on those individuals before they take that meeting. if i found out that person had some sort of government connections, i would reported to the authorities. be open, be transparent, but that's not the nature of politics. >> eric: were out of time, but it is ongoing. >> julie: and power in cancer patients to take greater control over their own treatment. there is a new app you have to learn about, its creators draw
