and asha pointed this out as well. if don junior talked to the fbi and purposely said something different than what he's saying and now is proven in hezbollthe e-mails, he's in trouble. lying to the fbi is a crime. i argue all of them should stop talking about it. let the investigation take its course. it's clearly the investigation is working. these -- obviously, these e-mails were uncovered along the way. this is a long way from saying, we've got you, you're going to go to jail, we're charging you with x. long, long, long way from that. as a matter of fact, you don't know if the woman made it up when she got there. you don't know any of that. that would all have to be part of the conversation. did you just say those things to get a meeting and again, the meeting in and of itself was not illegal. it was probably inappropriate, but it wasn't illegal by any stretch of the imagination. now you have to unwind all of that. that's why the investigation's important and why talking about it for every detail from the president

do you see it as a threat, asha? >> i think that it is in direct contradiction to what sarah huckabee sanders said last week, that he doesn't depict or promote violence in any way. whether or not it's a threat, we know from this attack on our congressmen in the baseball field that whatever is intended, there are people out there who will -- unhinged, irrational who take these messages, internalize them and may act on them. of all people the president of the united states should understand that, particularly in wake of that tragedy and be much more responsible on what he puts out on a social media platform to 30 million viewers. >> john, you saw that and thought what? >> i was -- i was stunned. i was aghast that this was coming from the president of the united states. let me make two points. one, i've been at cnn now for a couple of months and i've always worked on the other side of the journalist notebook, being a spokesman, to come here and to see the rigor and the ethics and the professionalism that cnn applies to

asha let me ask you, what if paul manafort doesn't show up? >> well, then the committee can hold him in contempt and he can think about not showing up while he sits in jail. that's the ultimate penalty. i think what could be happening here is a lot of pressure has been put on manafort as a result of jared kushner's statement. jared -- you know, if we take jared kushner's statement at face value, it was the three stooge's meeting with the russians. that's not true. paul manafort probably has much more information to give and now i think the pressure is on him to give more details because jared kushner claims he can't recall. the other thing that is going on in his le luck tans to appear or share the interviews is, we don't know what's happening with him and mueller. if he has a lot of information, he and his lawyers are going to want to leverage that with mueller for as much as they can in order to, you know, reduce his criminal liability. he doesn't want to put all those cards on the table before he's had a chance to milk it for all it's worth

asha, you're a former intelligence official. does this seem like someone who has nothing to hide? >> in my experience someone who keeps changing their story is usually hiding something. i think that is a pretty common pattern that you see. more importantly, ana, as it was mentioned just now, truth telling is going to become very important because often in these large sprawling investigations what ends up clinching some of these people who may have skated right under the law in other ways is making false statements when they're being interviewed by federal officials. so one example of this is martha stewart who was investigated for s.e.c. violations. it turned out actually that she hadn't committed any s.e.c. violation, but she add made false statements in the course of the investigation and that's what she was prosecuted and convicted for. so when i start seeing these shifting stories i'm thinking these people might get jammed up in lying or better yet not saying anything at all. >> a white house official told cnn that it's not good don junior's story keeps changing. lynn, is it p

asha rangappa, thank you very much.ion continues. >>> here we are, just about two days shy of six months into his presidency, president trump dealing with obstacle after obstacle, many of which have been self-inflicted. so, we're asking three journalists which moments have really surprised them the most during the first six months here in the oval office. we'll talk about that. >>> also ahead, an emotional outpouring from a grieving fiance, his bride-to-be shot and killed by police after she called 911 to report a possible assault. what happened and why are police being so quiet? we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ more kinds of crab than ever, new dishes, and all your favorites. only while crabfest lasts. red lobster. now this is seafood. yeah, and i can watch thee bgame with directv now.? oh, sorry, most broadcast and sports channels aren't included. and you can only stream on two devices at once. this is fun, we're having fun. yeah, we are. no, you're not jimmy. don't let directv now limit your entertainment. xfinity gives you

asha, let me ask you this question. back to the president today directly questioned his own intelligence community there on foreign soil. i mean, you are former fbi. you know, even if you question the findings, to say that as he did, publicly, and abroad, that cannot go well -- you know, just over well with the intel community, the agencies. >> it won't go well -- over well with the intel agencies. and actually, that was music to putin's ears. i mean, to have a president openly question the credibility of his own intelligence agencies, this is exactly what they want. and also what he said was not entirely accurate. he seemed to suggest that there was not unanimity among the intelligence agencies because there are 17 intelligence agencies and he hadn't heard from all of them. we have so many intelligence agencies because they all do different things. the national reconnaissance agency is not going to give a conclusion on russian meddling because they monitor satellites. they don't monitor foreign intelligence activity. a

up in the asha valley pipeline hamburger hill in late summer heat and humidity.i met in the morning there was two north vietnamese army veteran who stopped the americans on hamburger hill and i was surprised when they accepted my invitation to climb with me. but not that the americans who fought there would call hamburger hill because they ground the mob like a hamburger grinding machine. greeted by a brief summer shower, the trove was deepened the paris. i stumbled and i stumbled and i slid and isolated and they wondered how the young men of the 101st airborne had climbed that hill in may of 1969, noting that there were over 50 years younger than me was not a significant explanation. no one was shooting down at me and i was a carried more of the equipment and weapons. it took our small group about two hours to reach. it took them 10 days. i should say it took 10 days for those to reach the top .. >> and i had tremendous regard for him, and i came to really have an affection more his son. for his son. i picked up a couple of pieces of lead sulfite in the graham m

the previous buyer, asha, promised to pay a million- dollar deposit into an escrow account but the money never came through. >> it was disappointing. it's not unusual for real estate transactions to fall through and now we are just looking ahead to the future and excited to see what the market will bring. >> reporter: asha was set to pay $47 million, well above the asking price of $42 million. but on mon, the city put the hayes mansion back on the market on monday for a minimum bid of $36 million. at that price, the city says they can resolve all their debts related to the mansion and walk away. >> going out at $36 million will allow to us retire all the debt and anything above and beyond would be extra for the city. >> reporter: when the hotel is sold it will be a relief to the city budget. it costs up to $6 million to keep it going. >> it's a gem of san jose, unique property and we are excited to see it go to a great buyer who will continue to operate it's a hotel, potentially invest in the property and see it return to its glory. >> reporter: in san jose, kiet do, kpix 5. >>> paul dea

honored to have known you all these years and of course i'm always honored to know you michelle and asha. i'm going to give context for my question. from the johnson warren primed to the nixon jug drugs to the crime bill, we have seen our own communities be bamboozled into believing that a war on our own people would benefit our communities . question one is how do we prevent that from happening again and two, how do we stop attorney general jeff sessions from taking us back 50 years into the dark ages. [applause] >> i was going to say i think one of the things that susan can is the critical importance of formerly incarcerated people and people who've been impacted as emerging as leaders in this moment in time because it is easy to demonize the criminals when you don't meet them. when you don't know them, when you don't hear from them and come to learn their stories and anyone who reads susan's story is going to understand why the war on drugs is something that can never, ever be revised on the scale that it was and that we must end it once and for all in this nation but i hope susan wil

could that have legal implications for the president, asha? >> well, we have so many -- we have a pattern now of the president, things coming to light that are untrue, that the president has signed off on, but yes, especially in this case, because this is the first time that there is a concrete, direct link between people close to the campaign and to russian intelligence, what he knew and when he knew it becomes very critical, and if there was an attempt to potentially cover up or say something untrue or contrary to what he knew, that is very problematic, because again, it points to potential deception at the highest levels of the government. so, timothy, theat this time, t- again, from a legal perspective, i would think that there would be a bigger firewall between even the president and his son to try keep those lines completely separate and not embroil him. but i've been perplexed by some of the legal moves that have been made in this administration to date, so i guess i can't be really surprised. >> this is some other new reporting from cn

the women's race was won by asha phillip, her fourth british title.h. sailing has been in the news a lot recently with the conclusion of the america's cup, and if that's inspired you to take up the sport, have a look at this. it's the sport of foiling, in which you fly along above the water. it's becoming increasingly accessible, so much so that our man mike bushell has been to have a go. is it a boat or is it a plane? well, it tries to be a bit of both. it's the boat that is trying to bring the thrill of the america's cup racing to all of us. up on the foils and flying over the water and yet at much lower speeds and without the danger. it changes the game massively, in terms of how much fun you can have at a low wind speed. the kids are going to love this. until now, the sport of foil racing has only been for the most daring and experienced sailors because get it wrong in the air and the consequences can be serious. every time you make a small mistake, you capsize of the boat and most people have only got three or four capsizes in them before they're

asha, i want to give you the first chance to respond to hearing that the president still does not believe russia meddled in the u.s. election. >> yes, ana, i'm not sure what to say about what i guess is willful ignorance of what is being presented to him, but back here on earth, the intelligence community has unanimously said that the russians interfered in our election, and what i would suggest to scaramucci, is though he doesn't have his security clearance yet, there are some publicly available cases that do demonstrate -- just russian intelligence efforts generally over the last decade. in 2010 we charged 10 russian spies who were here under not official cover in new york city. that complaint details a lot of the russians methods and sources and the way that they were operating. they were swapped for u.s. spies who were jailed in russia. in 20115, a russian banker, acting under russian intelligence. who was here trying to get information and intelligence on sanctions, and recruiting u.s. people, he was prosecuted. and most importantly, in february of this year, two russian intelligence

with us, ryan lizza, paul begala, and asha rengapa. start off with you. in terms of legality, is donald trump jr. in trouble? >> he could be. >> in what way? >> what the e-mails basically show is a level of knowledge and level of intent that before now was not so expolice it. -- explicit. that opens up potential liability. not a smoking gun. no prosecutor is going to prosecute donald jr. on this e-mail alone. but it does open up the question of, things like, election fraud, conspiracy to, commit election fraud, getting, soliciting, something of value from a foreign government which is illegal to do. in an election. in black and white, information he was getting into. >> congresswoman, you heard the reporting, a circular firing squad in the white house, leaks from different things, how concerned are you, that wants the president's agenda to move forward. wants to focus on issues important for the future of the country. what is happening now in this white house. >> it's, what maggie has there is, some sort of high level, you know, intriguing gossip. that's
