jared kushner and paul manafort were there. this morning, we find out there's another person in that room. let's start with nbc chief white house correspondent, hallie jackson, in paris. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, matt. good morning to you. nbc news is not naming this man. but we have learned that some u.s. officials suspect him of having ties to russian intelligence, something he denies. this is the latest twist in a story that has dogged the president in paris, as he now returns home, after being forced to confront this russia-related controversy here in france. this morning, a major revelation in that meeting between donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer during the campaign, aimed at getting dirt on hillary clinton. now, nbc news has learned more about who else was in that room. a russian-american lobbyist, a former soviet counterintelligence officer, suspected by some.

russian intelligence. nbc news is not naming that lobbyist, who denies current ties to russian spy agencies. his presence, likely to be of interest to investigators. natalia veselnitskaya was accompanied by someone was denied to identify him. the president, before bastille day celebrations in paris, defended the young man. >> my son is a wonderful young man. he took a meeting with a russian lawyer. not a government lawyer, but a russian lawyer. >> reporter: trump jr. took the meeting with someone explicitly identified as a russian attorney. >> i think from a practical standpoint, most would have taken that meeting. nothing happened from the meeting. zero happened from the meeting. and i think the press made a big deal over something that really a lot of people

>> if you're donald trump jr. and you're involved in this meeting and the news of it breaks and you're forced to reveal the e-mail chain that led to that meeting, why don't you always reveal who else was in the room? why are we just finding out about this? >> it's possible that the individuals in that meeting, including paul manafort, who has a long history of working with russians and working with individuals from overseas countries, that he knew this person had longstanding ties to soviet intelligence. that would be problematic for them to reveal at this moment. again, it would show that the trump campaign had knowledge and detailed knowledge. >> but a drip, drip, drip, is not clear who was in the room. >> they had a lot to hide about this meeting. >> jeremy bash, our nbc news exclusive. there's mounting pressure for jared kushner,

of them undisclosed, including the russian ambassador and head of a russian state-owned bank. kushner's lawyer says the form was prematurely entered with errors. the 36-year-old is drawing fire from democrats, calling for his security clearance to be revoked or kushner to be removed. >> any other white house, somebody that had this breach of trust with the american public, likely wouldn't have a job any longer. >> jared kushner should be fired or he should resign. >> reporter: in fact, experts say the president is the only person who can fire him of his son-in-law or trip him of his clearance. the russian questions aren't clearing up. investigators are examining if the trump campaign's digital operations, cooperated with russian operatives spewing bogus news stories about hillary clinton in key swing

a busy morning. let's get to your news at 8:00. the nbc news exclusive. we learned that a second person with ties to russia attended that controversial meeting with a russian lawyer and members of the trump campaign. kristen welker has more from paris, where president trump atended a national celebration this morning. kristen, what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning to you. president trump was aiming to shift the narrative away from the russia controversy here in paris. but this morning, it's only deepening. and now, the new twist involving the president's eldest son will undoubtedly be looked at by investigators back in d.c. this morning, another major development about that meeting between donald trump jr. and a kremlin-linked attorney. nbc news has learned exclusively there was someone else in the room. that person, a russian-born american lobbyist and former soviet

officer, with having ties to russian lobbyists. the presence of an russian-american with an intelligence background is likely to be of interest to investigators. the revelation comes as the president wraps up a visit to paris, france, filled with pomp and pageantry, culminating in the bastille day parade this morning. the president hoping that these would help turn the page on the russia controversy. but at their joint press conference, trump jr.'s meeting was front and center. the president saying nothing came from the encounter, which he called opposition research. >> i think the press made a big deal over something that really a lot of people would do. i had many people call up, oh, gee, we have information on this factor or this person or, frankly,

that's very standard in politics. politics is not the nicest business in the world. >> reporter: obtaining opposition research is common. but it's unusual for u.s. campaign officials to meet with people claiming to represent foreign governments offering negative information about opponents. with the city of lights dimmed by the cloud of scrutiny, the president found a silver lining. >> the friendship between our two nations and ourselves, i might add, is unbreakable. >> reporter: despite clashing over everything from trade to the environment, mr. trump discussing the paris climate agreement, after he infuriated president macron by pulling out. >> something could happen with respect to the paris accord. we'll see what happens. >> reporter: another off-the-cuff comments to france's first lady making headlines. >> you're in good shape. beautiful. >> reporter: this morning, an attorney representing donald trump jr. is responding to nbc's

exclusive report saying that trump jr. thought that additional person in the room was merely a friend of the intermediary who set up the meeting. the attorney saying he spoke to the person directly and, quote, he is a u.s. citizen. he told me specifically, he is not working for the russian government. nbc reached out to representatives of the other people in the room, paul manafort and jared kushner, no response yet. president trump is on his way to his resort in bed minister, where he will spend the weekend. >> kristen welker, thank you very much. a confession in the murder of four young men in pennsylvania has left questions this morning. cosmo dinardo has admitted to taking part in or actually committing those murders. he said the confession was part of a deal to avoid the death penalty. the disappearance of the four victims last week triggered a huge search that ended at a multimillion-dollar

everything, it's not surprising our mobile devices can also dictate some of what we do in the bedroom. >> this is for women who would really like to approach family planning naturally. >> the app called natural cycles prompts a woman to answer a series of health questions including the date of her last period and how long her cycle usually lasts. >> the first thing you need is a basal thermometer. >> a key component to the app and it's effectiveness is tracking a woman's temperature daily. >> measure every morning at roughly the same time. >> once data has been submitted to the app it let's a user know if they are having a green or red day. >> a green day means that you cannot get pregnant, a red day means that you should use protection. >> natural cycles conducted a study of more than 4,000 women using their app and found with typical use the app is 93% effective when it comes to preventing pregnancy. according to the fda oral

effective when measuring typical use. >> we created natural cycles based on our own need for an effective natural birth control method. >> a nobel prize winning swedish physicist created the app with her husband and says it's the algorithm that sets this app apart from other fertility trackers on the market. >> 75% of our users use it to prevent pregnancy and 25% use it to get pregnant. >> while it is certified by the european union reproductive and sexual health experts are calling for more large scale and independent research so that fertility apps are held to the same rigorous scientific standards as other contraceptive methods. >> it does not protect against stds. it is only for conception or to prevent pregnancy and that's something that's very important to reemphasize to women who would choose this method. >> but for some women looking to avoid pills, devices or surgery, 's

effective natural birth control option. >> the fda recommends consumers talk to their healthcare providers before engaging in any medical treatment. while they have yet to approve fertility mobile medical apps we do know of ongoing studies to prove the effectiveness of fertility apps in the u.s. the makers of natural cycles tell us they have submitted their app to the fda. so the big question, you know -- >> ladies at the table, what do you think about it? >> there are a lot of women -- >> don't look at me. >> i will put myself in here. there are a lot of people who don't want to take a pill every day or are hesitant or they feel like they are not responsible enough to take a pill every day. i guess in this works. >> i think probably -- you forget to take a pill, are you going to remember to log all that stuff, did you do your temperature right. >> you have to be responsible. >> what if you have bad wifi. >> that's right, al. there's your answer. >> thank you. >> maybe better that we just went over to dy

and what did they say? >> we asked would you trust an app over traditional contraceptives and we put out this survey on twitter and the results are in and 93% of people said no. so clearly they are not ready to rely on an app just yet. >> there's not an app for that. >> mr. roker. >> weather apps are fantastic. what? >> i don't know. >> wow. wow. well, i go he is that's good for me. >> yes. >> we want the real deal. >> there you go. looking for showers and thunderstorms all along the gulf. why? well, we have plenty of moisture pumping up from the gulf into the gulf states. it's going to fuel these storms and we've got the risk for some urban flooding anywhere from panama city all the way to lake charles, louisiana. we could see upwards of a half an inch to an inch of rain. flood watches up into the no

>> no. >> when you wear white shorts. >> do you think that goes too far. >> the underwear question? >> no, that you have to wear white underwear as well? >> i think what they're saying -- no, i don't, because if you are going to go with the whole all white thing then you should not be showing your dark underees under your white unless you're roger if he hadfederer. >> what do you think? >> i think that's a little far. i really do. >> i think checking the underwear is ridiculous. >> also it's like we are so proper here, let's look at your underwear. come on. >> oh, that old excuse. >> exactly. >> dylan, pop start. >> all right. just wanted to tell you guys it's sir carter and roomy carter. >> all right. thank you. >> thank you for confirming that. >> we did our research in the orange room. let's get to pop start now. we start with the emmys. the nominations are in. leading the pack "saturday night live" and west world with 22 nominations each. other shows that
