interview with george stephanopoulos, the president said he would not necessarily contact the fbi if he were approached by foreign figures with information on his nt.is ct w fausru tower meeting in june 2016 when don junior received an email from a business associate promising dirt on hillary clinton from the russian government. >> should don have gone to the fbi when he got that email? >> okay. let's put yourself in that position. you're a congressman. somebody comes up and says, hey, i have information on your opponent, do you call the fbi? i'll tell you what, i've seen a lot of things in my life. i don't think in my whole life i've ever called the fbi. in my whole life. you don't call the fbi. you throw somebody out of your office. you do whatever -- >> al gore got a stolen briefing book. he called the fbi. >> that's different from a stolen briefing book. this is someone who said we have information on your opponent. oh, let me call the fbi. give me a break. life doesn't work that way. >> the fbi director said that could happen.

>> fbi director is wrong. >> your campaign this type is foreigners, russia, china or someone else offers information on the opponent should they accept it or call the fbi? >> i think you do both. you might want to listen. there's nothing wrong with listening. if somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent, oh, i think i'd want to hear it. >> you want that kind of interference in our elections? >> not an interference. they have information. i think i'd take it. if i thought there was something wrong i'd go to the fbi, if i thought something was wrong. if somebody comes up with oppo research, all right, they come up with-o po research, oh, let's call the fbi. the fbi doesn't have enough agents to take care of it. you talk honestly to congressmen, they do it. they always have. that's the way it is. that's called oppo research. >> reporter: the president's comments contradicts his own attorney general bill barr.

here's what barr said after the investigation. >> going forward, what if a foreign adversary, let's say, north korea, offers a presidential candidate dirt on a competitor in 2020, do you agree with me the campaign should immediately contact the fbi? >> if a foreign intelligence service, a representative of a foreign government, says we have dirt on your opponent should they say i love it, let's meet? or should they contact the fbi? >> if the foreign intelligence service does, yes. >> now, this is obviously taking place in the context of investigations that are ongoing into the 2016 election. and some democrats believe this should fuel calls for impeachment. out on the campaign trail 2020 hopeful kamala harris said president trump is putting his self-interests before our democracy interests. and at least one republican congressman said he is disagreeing publicly with president trump on this. as for the fbi, kenneth and janai, this morning, they have no comment. >> all right, lana.
