donald trump junior releasing a statement on twitter that starts with -- >> eric: goldstone happens to be a british music publicist who helped arrange the meeting at trump tower, he knows the trump family. that meeting with russian lawyer natalia veselnitskaya. >> julie: she had no information to provide and wanted to talk about adoption policy. this occurred before the current russian fever was invoked. the magnitsky act act was

enacted by president obama. >> the younger trump was told that this information was being offered to him because of russia's support for mr. trump and based on these emails we now that goldstone told trump junior about that before he accepted the meeting. in an email dated june 3rd 2016, goldstone wrote "the crown prosecutor of russia met with his father this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would obviously be very useful to your father. this is obviously very high-level and sensitive information but as part of russia and its government's support for trump." trump, jr., wrote back "if it's what you say, i love it. especially if it is later in the

summer." he agreed to a meeting with russian attorney natalia veselnitskaya on june 9th. she appeared to attend a house for enough foreign affairs meeting. the hearing took place june 14th 2016. we do not know why she was at that hearing, but these are public hearings that anyone can attend. she has denied having ties to the russian government and trump, jr., has reiterated that as well. the meeting took place in june on june 9th according to trump, jr., 2016. the white house is also told us that president trump did not know about this meeting yesterday during an off-camera press gaggle, sarah huckabee

sanders maintains that there was no collusion between the campaign and russia. >> julie: thank you. >> eric: meanwhile, that russian lawyer natalia veselnitskaya says she has no information on hillary clinton and she was not sent by the kremlin. she spoke to nbc news. >> i never knew who else would be attending the meeting. all i knew was that mr. donald trump, jr., was willing to meet with me. i spoke with a young gentleman for probably the first 7-10 minutes, and then he stood up and left the room. it was mr. jared kushner and he never came back. the other individual who was at the meeting was always looking at his phone. he never took any active part in the conversation. that was mr. paul manafort.

>> have you ever worked for the russian government? do you have connections to the russian government? >> no. >> eric: the emails that led to that meeting called her a government lawyer and claimed that there was incriminating information. what do the donald trump junior revelations that he released this morning mean? josh, supporters will say goldstone -- he is a music promoter trying to help his friends. critics pointing to potential collusion, cooperation and even perhaps conspiracy. or is this just a naive move? >> the first move of american politics is never taken a meeting with a representative of a foreign adversary who apparently was promising information about hillary clinton, about his political opponent. this is about as much of a smoking gun as you can get and the fact that donald trump junior released these emails was only because

"the new york times" was working on a big story that would be revealing the contents of these emails. it's a very big a bombshell, you have these emails, you have the back and forth of trump, jr., expecting to get some kind of information from what he perceives as someone representing russian interest. >> eric: let's take a look at what the email actually says. "the crown prosecutor of russia met with his father, and in the meeting offered to revive the trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be very useful to your father. this is obviously very high-level and sensitive information but as part of russia and its government support for mr. trump." donald trump, jr., writes back "if it's what you say, i love it, especially later in the summer." a few days later, robert writes

him back. does this fly in the face with their denials with saying there wasn't any russian connection at all, but here you have these emails and clearly the president's son thought he may get something, even if it was just for my friend. >> remember when the first statement from donald trump, jr., came out over the weekend, they said the meeting was only about adoption and the magnitsky act, he did not say anything about information surrounding hillary clinton and he later backtracked and had to revise to incorporate the reporting and his own revelations that have come out. p.r. 101 is you want to get the whole story out there as fast as you can. and to be able to argue based on those facts. the problem is he was not being fully truthful from the outset i know we don't have a whole lot of credibility on the trump

white house, at least from donald trump, jr., he doesn't have a lot of credibility to stand on and he is putting out the text of these emails that are quite incriminating. this is a big political challenge for the trump white house, a big legal challenge for donald trump, jr., who apparently willingly and eagerly accepted these meetings with the russian official. >> eric: when they had that meeting, as she says, she does not have any of this informatio information. it was all a red herring, apparently. >> there is a legal track and a political track. it seems like there is a lot of debate and discussion on whether anything illegal was done. politically, this is awful. first the white house claims there was no contact with anyone with russia about the election, and obviously this email chain proves that to be incorrect and it makes you question the credibility of what is coming out of the white house and what was being put out in reaction to these revelations.

>> eric: others will say the government tried to do this against donald trump during the campaign, but one thing that is really intriguing, let me read that line again. there was "information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia." do we know what that information actually is? >> we don't even know if that was what was discussed, we assume it was based on the expectation but we don't know what was discussed in that meeting. i'm sure there will be more revelations to come, when there is a lot of smoke, there is usually a little bit of fire as well. >> eric: thank you so much. it has been a big day on this front as donald trump, jr., has released to those emails himself, he says to show transparency. >> julie: a reminder, we are awaiting the white house briefing set to start just about 50 minutes from now, we can certainly expect reactions to all of the follow-up over that donald trump junior meeting.

because it comes just a week after north korea successfully test launched a ballistic missile that may be capable of hitting alaska. hi, jennifer. >> south korean intelligence is now questioning whether the north korean intercontinental ballistic missile test on july 4th was in fact a success, suggesting the north koreans may not have mastered the crucial reentry phase. that according to a south korean lawmaker who sits on the intel committee. the pentagon has not weighed in publicly. today i continued a series of military muscle flexing. it the defense agency performed a test of its own from alaska. this is footage from previous test shooting down an intermediate range of missile over the pacific. at the target was launched north of hawaii, pushed out the back of an air force cargo plane and pushed out the back earlier

today. it is currently deployed in south korea. in a statement the head of the u.s. missile defense agency said "this test further demonstrates the capabilities of the weapon system and its ability to intercept and destroy ballistic missile threats. it continues to protect our citizens, deployed forces and allies from growing threats." the u.s. has other interceptors in alaska and california for those long-range missiles over the weekend and a show of force, the u.s. military flew a pair of b-1 bombers to south korea, another option available to commanders in addition to defense measures like the thaad. or the south korean government has put a hold on the request to

send more launchers. lawmakers also chastised those who say china is responsible for north korea and to put more pressure on kim jong-un. >> eric: north korea is just one threat to our nation, the radical islamic terrorists of isis another. the de facto capital in iraq has now been liberated and free. how this all fits in with the trump doctrine and the presidents international priorities. we will take a look at that next. >> this continent no longer confronts the specter of communism, but today we are in the west. we have to say there are dire threats to our security. we will confront them. we will win. with hydrogenated oil...

>> eric: those emails that donald trump junior hit capitol hill like a bomb shell. >> disagreement on how the house will review that, they have to resolve out but make it clear, we need to get that bill passed now. it passed 98-2 in the senate, this is about what russia was doing here in the united states. it's important for congress to act definitively in a timely matter. i urge my colleagues to pass the bill we sent over to them now and make it clear to russia we will not tolerate this type of interference in our elections or what they are doing in regards to the ukraine, georgia, or in syria. >> [indistinct question]

>> i want the investigators to do their job. if a similar circumstance -- if we were to be approached by someone who wanted to give us information from a foreign government concerning our elections, that is something where i would involve law enforcement. >> first i want to salute the senator for his leadership role in passing the russian sanctions and an overwhelming bipartisan vote. the trump administration is trying to torpedo that sanction in the house of representatives. at the same time we get this email exchange today showing clear collaboration between the russian government and the trump

campaign at the highest levels. the email is very clear, the russian government is weighing in to help elect donald trump. it means it is all the more important that we pass the legislation, to protect the integrity of our elections and send a clear signal. this interaction of emails i think will tell everyone in the country that this is a serious, very serious situation on a bipartisan basis in the united states congress people are concerned. the special prosecutor i am sure went into full gear in looking at these latest exchanges. >> eric: that is chris van holland and senator ben cardin reacting to the revelations to the donald trump junior emails

that show he was promised information from the russian government from the crown prosecutor of russia, for information that would "incriminate hillary clinton." they say there was no such information offered at that meeting. he refers to the sanctions bill, passed 98-2 in the senate. >> if you recall, after the former administration pulled out forces in 2011 out of iraq, just two or three years later in the summer of 2014, isis declared the new base out of mosul. we have routed them from the place where they created the new

caliphate. it is a huge success. >> julie: that was the deputy assistant to the president on the liberation of mosul. this comes as the tentative partial cease-fire president trump brokered with russia, jordan is still holding in southwest syria. as secretary of estate tillerson is visiting key nations in an attempt to resolve the diplomatic crisis over qatar. of course, plenty of threats around the world remain. thank you so much for talking to us. this is a big development, and it sounds to me as if diplomacy is actually working. the trump administration today touting its success, president trump going on twitter and talking about his big

accomplishment. what say you on big wins against isis just six months into his presidency? >> i think if you take these events together, what we are witnessing is a turning point in that part of the world which has long been stymied by the civil war, i think what you are seeing is a combination of the cease-fire in syria and the retaking of mosul represent effectively part of a strategy that has several parts and they are beginning to bear fruit. what you are seeing is a sequence of events. in the last five years there has been no prioritizing and haphazard effort. what you have seen is the events have fallen together, beat isis first, then go to organize, consolidate and unify the anti-terror organization.

in mosul, it is a parallel but significant interwoven event, the iraqis have retaken what was the centerpiece of that conflict. it now we in groundhog day. when i was training the iraqi police in '03, '04, '05, with a step up and unify sovereign rule of law over the entire country? they have to show that they can do what is the next step with this established rule of law. i think they are seeing a restoration of u.s. credibility. the cease-fire is holding because the russians and their surrogates are holding off. why is that happening? because there was a restoration of respect for the united states and that is a significant move. it fits into the larger picture of trump doctrine that is based on moral leadership and

accountability internationally and being true to our word. which we have been in syria, north korea, everywhere. >> julie: president trump can be praised on so many of his decision so far, relying on his military officials to make these decisions and what he has done in syria has clearly made much more headway than we've seen in many recent years. president obama wanted to pull troops out of iraq, what have we done differently, what have we done right to free mosul of the grip of isis which is something president obama battled for years unsuccessfully? >> history is made by inches, it is incremental. victories are achieved incrementally. i would say we are not at the end, we may not even be at the beginning of the end but we are at the end of the beginning. and that means that what the president has done, and in

particular also an extraordinary cabinet, they have focused their attention on concrete wins, moving the ball forward up the field and what you are seeing is that occurring. you are also seeing an assertion of newfound courage and focus by the iraqis themselves. this is not easy, this will not happen fast but will happen is the ground now taken will be held and there will be dissolving of any of the credibility or any of the sense of cohesion that existed around isis before. >> julie: thank you very much, appreciate you coming on. >> eric: what is the intel community in washington making of the explosive developments this morning? from the emails released by donald trump, jr.,, coming up,

chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has the very latest in washington i had. plus, our panel weighs in. >> this was a conversation with the president of the united states, it was covered by executive privilege at a minimum and james, he ignored that he illegally distributed that information for one purpose only, to get a special prosecutor.

>> eric: a fox news alert, awaiting white house reaction to the release of president trump's eldest sons emails leading up to the meeting with the russian lawyer. donald trump, jr., this morning tweeted out what he says are the emails leading up to that meeting. releasing them in the name of transparency. the emails show he was told to expect to receive incriminating information about hillary clinton during the campaign and that was supposedly part of the russian government support for his father, to which donald trump replied in one email "i love it." >> bipartisan reaction to the newly released emails. >> nothing is proven yet but we are now beyond obstruction of justice in terms of what is being investigated.

this is moving into perjury, false statements, and even potentially treason. >> we called donald trump and everybody else in question before congress to let them explain their side of the story. if there is an email to him from somebody in russia, suggesting the russian government wants to help, that is problematic. >> so far our review of these emails have identified two sections about the proposed meeting. the emails were sent by a british journalist and publicis publicist. it reads in part "the crown prosecutor of russia met with his father and in their meeting offered to provide the trump campaign was some official documents and information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and will be very useful to your father. this is obviously very high-level and sensitive information. i can also send this to your father but it is ultrasensitive and i wanted to send to you

first." donald trump, jr., responds "if it is what you say, i love it. especially later in the summer, can we do a call first thing next week when i am back?" a statement was issued by a spokesperson from the the trump legal team that the president was not aware of and did not attend that meeting. some context is that the goal of this russian campaign was to damage the democratic process and to undermine confidence in the system and to do that, they had to collect information and have contact with both republicans and democrats with the idea that they would try to her to both of the campaigns and their candidates. >> eric: thank you so much. >> julie: for more on this, let's bring in robert driscoll, a former justice department official. thank you so much for talking to us. first of all, i want to read to you a statement released by the ranking member of the house committee on oversight and government reform, issuing the statement just moments ago

regarding the email chain between donald trump, jr., and rob goldstone describing the russian government wanted to provide high-level and sensitive information about secretary hillary clinton. it reads in part "this is a sad day for our country, the email chain confirms that the president's son was both aware of and support of the russian government's efforts to help the president get elected. he goes on to say, we must investigate and act on our findings." your reaction to that statement in the emails? >> i think the emails are problematic, more problematic politically them legally because they contradict what has said it before by the administration. i still think that -- i have yet to see a real rock-solid legal issue, although certainly i think politically it is very damaging to have the emails out that are contradicting prior statements. >> julie: the lawyer who met

donald trump, jr., jared kushner, paul manafort, her name is natalia veselnitskaya. she says she never acted on behalf of the russian government, she is not a government spy. she is a lawyer. she also said she never discussed any of these matters with any representatives of the russian government so you have that. if that is the case, why should we care about this meeting? >> i think part of it is the meeting being essentially on behalf of the russian government or the that the information was coming from the russian government was part of a russian effort. people will try to make hay out of the willingness to have the meeting. at the end of the day it is still vague as to what possible statutory violations it would be. be. collusion in and of itself is not a crime. the notion of the meeting may be politically unpalatable but it is certainly not a crime. it is certainly not a crime to

say okay, i will listen. the question is whether you want to piece together criminal activity. i haven't seen anything other than theories that don't make a lot of sense. >> julie: i'm glad you touched on that, i touched on that in our 11:00 hour, collusion is not a crime. in the meantime, attorneys for president trump speaking out on former fbi director comey's private memos, listen to this. >> james comey had conversations with the president of the net united states, he put them into a memo that he put in his government desk and when he got fired, he releases them to a friend of his who releases them to "the new york times" ." these were not just conversations extending pleasantries, this was a conversation with the president of the united states.

the classified information situation increases the level one more time. at a minimum, at a minimum he gave out information about a conversation with the president of the united states. >> julie: meanwhile, a close friend of comey arguing that the information did indeed coming do not contain information of a covered dictation with the president but disagreeing that the information was not classified. congress now has the memos, the question is, did he break the law and could robert mueller investigate him? >> theoretically he did break the law, in this kind of case -- it reminds me of the hillary clinton situation a little bit and that there is a technical violation made outcome of the question as to whether or not is a realistic that someone will be prosecuted in this circumstance. certainly, at a minimum, he distributed government property. the notion that they were

personal memos i don't think holds any water. he rode it about a meeting he had while doing his job for the government, you can't just walk out of the government with those memos. i assume he violated a nondisclosure agreement. i think as well, that classification would happen -- could up the ante for him a little bit. in this kind of situation, it is a highly politicized environment, i don't think it's likely he gets prosecuted for it but it is certainly possible he gets investigated. >> julie: thank you very much, we appreciate you coming on. >> eric: it is a highly politicized environment, we will have much more about that straight ahead.

>> eric: more follow-up from donald trump, jr., releasing his emails this morning. what is the political impact? the trump campaign cochair in michigan and former republican

candidate. we were always told there was no involvement with russia, do you think these emails confirm or contradict that? clearly cooperation was dangled but there doesn't seem to be any indication that it actually happened. >> this is absolutely speculative. of the russian lawyer said she had no affiliation with the kremlin, the kremlin said she had no affiliation with the lawyer. at the end of the day, i think the american people deserve to know what was in the content of that message and was not relevant behind the corruption of the clinton foundation and their dealings with uranium. >> eric: what about some of the emails of the russians were supporting donald trump, saying that this would "incriminate hillary?" >> i think it's very important that the american people know the truth about the clinton foundation. i am concerned that the media

isn't spending more time asking these pertinent questions. we are arguing more about the source of the information but in the end, the american people need to know what was the clinton foundation doing with the russians, especially as it pertains to uranium. >> eric: you talk about the clinton foundation -- >> of the big news story of today is the email that went on between donald trump, jr., and gladstone. i am not the kind of democrat who hates donald trump, i don't hate the term family. i have been willing to take them on their word that they were not requesting information or trying to find dirt on the hillary clinton campaign through the russians. but now that it is obvious that they lied to us. this is something, if you are a donald trump supporter, if they had just gotten it together, if this white house had just gotten it together from the start, think about how much of the agenda they would have been able to accomplish. this is a very aggressive

president who obviously has an agenda, he wants to drive it forward. he's convinced us all that this is what he is going to do and yet the sloppiness of this operation -- it is reprehensible and i think at this point, there are changes that need to be made in this white house. >> eric: what are you talking about? >> for one, they need to get on the same page. this is embarrassing. we just went to europe and had a long, drawn-out meetings with other foreign powers insisting we were trustworthy partners in this, as an american white house that represents all of us. but now, for those of us who have given the president to the benefit of the doubt, especially from the left, we all look like fools. of the lying has to stop, there needs to be some accountability. i think the mueller investigation, a lot more responsibility falls on them to discover the truth. "the new york times" knows what

they've been reporting, imagine what the justice department knows. imagine what the fbi knows. >> eric: what about that? they lied to us. >> we are talking about something that occurred during the campaign and i think it is very important to keep our facts in order and not to accuse people of being involved in it lies. i think that is very inappropriate and dangerous and unfair to the american people. >> i don't think they are lying on purpose. i have faith in the essential decency of this white house, the essential decency of the personnel. i think they are receiving information, "did you meet with the russians, did you meet with anybody who might have -- is there a paper trail that exist that is going to completely screw up our ability to pursue something like tax reform?" >> eric: it is true. >> you are overreaching.

>> eric: donald trump, jr., has said that. and yet we have these emails. >> the thing is, they said they weren't looking for dirt. >> we must keep our facts in line. in the end, this russian lawyer had no affiliation with the kremlin. the kremlin confirms they had no affiliation with her. the information she was wanting to bring forward was very important ultimately. in the end, the most important conversation before the american viewer and the american citizen today is what was behind those discussions, we need to know the truth of the clinton foundation. of their role in uranium one, that is at the heart of this discussion. >> eric: the truth about any involvement of the russians and if anything was done here and if

the russians did influence the election? >> i do not believe there was any wrongdoing with the russians and i will stand behind that. >> eric: thank you. >> julie: a fox news alert, this just in on the health care bill in the senate and their involvement in trying to get this health care bill past, now it seems as though the august recess may be either postponed, canceled or shortened. mitch mcconnell coming out and talking about it, saying that in order to provide more time to complete action on important legislative items and process nominees that have been stalled by a lack of cooperation from our friends across the aisle, the senate will delay the start of the august recess until the third week of august. that is a significant delay. as you know, lawmakers go on a month-long recess for the month of august but there have been many senators, republican senators have actually suggested

to mitch mcconnell that they go ahead and either extend or even cancel because that's how badly they want to get this senate bill passed and voted on. we will have much more right after the break, stay right there.

>> julie: right now, courtroom tensions are running high in a preliminary hearing for members of a penn state fraternity charged in the death of a 19-year-old student who fell down a flight of stairs during a night of heavy drinking for a pledge ceremony. will there be enough evidence for the case to go to trial? let's bring a defense attorney and prosecutor. this was simple hazing and people just getting drunk, it happens at every college fraternity party.

do they have the evidence to actually prosecute? >> i think the judges really, really going to struggle. it is alcohol induced. their judgment is impaired. you have to prove that there is a deliberate indifference to human life. how do you do that when everyone is so drunk? they don't expect everyone to fall down a flight of stairs. that is part of the problem. the judge is going to struggle. let's bring all of these individuals in and see if we can strike some deals. >> they have to prove that somebody deliberately pushed him. >> that they gave him alcohol and had a disregard for his safety. by pennsylvania law, any activity you engage in to get into an organization is not considered voluntary. as a result of the drinking, he fell, they did not call the police, he died. in the preliminary hearing, that

is a very low standard of proof to go to trial. they don't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt yet. >> julie: when you talk about voluntary versus involuntary drinking, what fraternity doesn't voluntarily join so you can drink? i know there is a lot more to fraternities but isn't drinking the voluntary thing they are getting into? >> that is the exact expectation these jurors are going to have. they are going to know, they went to college. if you are going to go in, you have to be accountable for your own actions. it is tragic, but ultimately you may have jury nullification. >> julie: that's all the time we have but we appreciate you both coming in. >> eric: we are now awaiting the daily white house briefing, it will be held off camera today. it is supposed to start just a

few moments from now and we expect reaction to the donald trump, jr., emails that he released. we will have that right here when it happens.
