7:03 am
russian lawyer with ties to the kremlin a couple of days ago. the president saying, most of the phony politician was are democrats who i watched over the last couple of days most of those phonies that act holier than thou, if the same thing happened to them they would have taken that meeting in a heartbeat. on those questions of his campaign's ties to russia, the president said, there was zero coordination. it's the dumbest thing i've ever heard. there's no coordination. this was a hoax. this was made up by the democrats. calling it the greatest con job in history. >> in retrospect i probably would have done things a little differently. >> reporter: e-mails about that meeting show don junior was told he would receive information that would incriminate hillary clinton. that material described as part of russia's attempt to help the president. in those e-mails, don junior's response, if that's what you say, i love it. the white house defense -- >> the bottom line is what came out of this 20-minute brief meeting, nothing helpful, nothing meaningful, nothing consequential.
7:04 am
broadcasting network the president also talking about his own russian meeting, that face-to-face with vladimir putin. >> well, he wants what's good for russia. >> yeah. >> and i want what's good for the united states. i think we got along very well and i think that's a good thing. >> reporter: the question this morning, how well will he get along with emmanuel macron. >> congratulations. great job. >> reporter: after their white knuckled first handshake and the follow-up just last week in germany, the new french president inviting president trump to celebrate bastille day on the world stage. short trip for president trump. he's on the ground for just 28 hours. as for that press conference, both presidents getting two questions each from both the french press corps and the white house press corps. >> speaking of the french visit, cecilia, we've been showing everyone. there was a bit of an uncomfortable relationship between the french president and president trump and they'll be spending a lot of time together. >> reporter: a lot of time, a little bit of business and pleasure mixed together. of course, that bastille day parade tomorrow. they are scheduled
7:05 am
about syria and counterterrorism and tonight both the presidents and their wives having dinner right here at the eiffel tower. >> we know you'll be there covering it. thanks so much. >> they have big policy differences over climate change. let's talk more with jonathan karl and, jon, we saw those first interviews from president trump yesterday. he's not only doubling down but tripling down on this meeting his son don junior has had even though it is rocking the white house. >> reporter: it absolutely is, george. but the president, it took him a while to get here. he was out of the public eye for days as the story broke but he is fully defending his son and when i asked about jared kushner who, of course, was also on that e-mail chain, also in that meeting and the only official who is in the white house who was on that, when i asked the spokesperson here sarah huckabee sanders yesterday she was emphatic that he did nothing wrong. those were her words. >> one thing we do know jared kushner had to change his disclosure forms to say -- to put those meetings in even though they had been left o
7:06 am
leading to a lot of criticism from democrats and others, some saying jared kushner should lose his security clearance. some saying he should resign and jared kushner does have enemies inside the white house. >> reporter: yeah, the focus initially, of course, has been on don junior, those were his macy's. he was the one that set up that meeting. but, again, that meeting was don junior, not in the white house, paul manafort, long since gone fired as campaign manager last summer, jared kushner is the one who is here. he was the one who was legally required to disclose meetings like that including his other meetings with russian officials like the russian ambassador, so there is a sense in the white house that jared kushner is the one that faces the most legal jeopardy if there is any here and there is a reluctance, i have heard from many in the president's circle, a reluctance to fully defend kushner but as i said you heard from the president's spokesperson, an emphatic full-throated he
7:07 am
nothing wrong. >> the president's nominee christopher wray was asked what someone should do if they were approached in a meeting by a russian official, here's what he had to say. >> to the members of this committee, any threat or effort to interfere with our elections from any nation state or any nonstate actor is the kind of thing the fbi would want to know. >> all right. so i'll take it we should call you and that's a great answer. >> not a lot of defense of that meeting on capitol hill but wray did do well. looks like he'll floyd to confirmation. >> reporter: democrats were very happy with him and also by the way corrected the president on the subject of james comey. made it clear that he fully -- he respects james comey. >> o. jon karl, i know you'll join me for our live coverage of the president's press conference around 12:25 eastern on abc. >> george, and now to the battle over health care. senate republicans are preparing to reveal a new version of their bill to repeal and replace obamacare. trying to rly
7:08 am
many false starts. our congressional correspondent mary bruce is on capitol hill with what we can expect. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, amy. well, senate republicans are stuck and it's unclear if this latest version of the health care bill is going to change that. the new version will be revealed later today and is expected to include an extra $45 billion to fight the opioid epidemic, keep an obamacare tax on the wealthy and allow insurance companies to offer cheaper pared down plans and some of the most controversial aspects including deep cuts in medicaid spending, amy, already some hold-outs said these tweaks won't cut it and republicans that i talked to said they would be surprised if it passed. listen to what the president said happens if they can't get it done. >> i think it would be very bad and i would be very angry about it and a lot of people will be very upset but i'm sitting waiting for that bill to come to my desk. i hope they do it.
7:09 am
