times" says it does not elaborate on the wider effort by moscow to help the trump campaign. trump jr.'s lawyer says, in my view, this is much ado about nothing. adding, don jr. had no knowledge as to what specific information, if any, would be discussed. the bottom line is that don jr. did nothing wrong. overnight, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, demanding answers. >> you can't claim ignorance, if you're told in advance this person is acting as an agent of the russian government. >> reporter: trump jr. said the meeting was to discuss adoptions. but a day later, he was seeking damaging information about his father's rival. back in july of last year, trump jr. had these stark comments when pressed about russian interference in the u.s. election. >> i can't think of bigger lies. that shows you what the dnc and the clinton camp will do. they will lie and do anything to win. >> reporter: now, there

growing bipartisan calls for him to testify on capitol hill. >> the intelligence committee should interview donald trump jr., as well as all the individuals who attended that meeting. >> reporter: trump jr. responded on twitter he would be happy to work with lawmakers to pass on what he knows. the senate intelligence committee will begin its first interviews with trump campaign officials as early as this week. >> kristen welker at the white house. thank you. we heard from the russian attorney at the center of this story. she told keir simmons about her meeting with donald trump jr. and other members of the trump inner circle. >> they had the impression, it appears, that they were going to be told some information that you had, about the dnc. how did they get that impression? >> translator: it's quite possible maybe they were looking for such information, they wanted it so badly. >> the attorney told keir she has never worked f

government and has no connections to it. she claims she was looking to speak to influential americans about russian adoption issues and was invited to meet with trump jr. you can cesecece more of that tonight. cases of alleged hazing of a student's death at penn state. prosecutors presented text messages that they say show fraternity members in a panic when they found timothy piazza unconscio unconscious. babe gutierrez joins us from the courthouse. >> reporter: it has been a marathon court hearing. and today, we're expecting a slew of defense attorneys to try to tear the prosecution's case apart. >> any comments this morning? >> reporter: this morning, one by one, defense teams will try to convince a judge that former penn state fraternity brothers should not go to trial in a case of alleged
