do you think this is enough to get him through this investigation, brianna?> no, i do think it raises a lot more questions and i also think it was pretty fascinating how he kind of separates himself so much from donald trump jr., right, where he says he basically doesn't know what the e-mail was about, he didn't read the whole e-mail where it makes clear there was a favoritism from the russian government for donald trump to win. so there's that, and then there's also a number of things that he reveals that make him look like he doesn't have it together. from not knowing what the russian ambassador's name is to his assistant mistakenly filing his security clearance so that it was incomplete and didn't have these things. he didn't recall, really, this meeting at trump tower until he was reviewing documents. so in addition to not really closing the door on all of these questions, he also just doesn't come off looking like he has it together. >> the president and the attorney general, jeff sessions, that tweet this morning, it stunned a lot of us. i'm sure it did

david kattan, and cnn's brianna keilar, and cnn's politics producer dan merika. >>> and brianna, i wantstewart with you. >> i think people had two ideas about what donald trump would be, either isolationist when it came to the potential military engagement or take him at his word that "i would bomb the bleep out of them. i took him as the latter, the sign of strength is something i those he would lean towards, and i'm surprised they have been able to channel smup that inclination, into some restraint. so that's number one. the other one is i'm surprised he hasn't been better at the deal, because that was the whole basis of what he was talking about. even though there was this i think disagreement about how great his business acumen was, i think coming in he had lost a lot of money. he came in with a set of experiences that we haven't seen that, with -- i wonder if you've noticed that. >> pretty removed --, or even understanding what's in the bill, we're talking markets, interest in different stakeholders. >> the overarching promise of the campaign, i can make deals. our old politicians

the white house a week and a half after that first meeting, so it's certainly racing some eyebrows, brianna. >> and raising eyebrows, especially right because there was only a russian translator there, so there wasn't an american translator, right? >> and the reason is this, the president had a translator, but it was someone who was speaking japanese, because that was his original seat at the dinner, he was sitting next to the japanese prime minister shinzo abe. so he was only using the russian translator. so that is what is raising some concerns here that there was not a u.s. official or a state department person on hand overhearing and translating this conversation. so i expect this will be one of the topics of conversation at an offcamera discussion this afternoon. >> i want to get some perspective on all of this with ranking congressman adam schiff. congressman, you heard about this report of this second meeting, it happened during a dinner where the president walked over to vladimir putin and they spoke during the g-20 summit. the white house is calling this perfectly normal and part o

they will deliver their decision, brianna.s i told you, he will not be released until on our about if allowed, october 1st of this year. >> the fact that back in 2014 at that parole hearing you referenced, that he was paroled on some of the charges obviously not all of them. does that give us a sense of where the parole board may fall on this? does that make us understand that they seem to think he might have reason to be released? >> reporter: quite possibly, because they look at aggravating factors, they look at mitigating factors. aggravating factors included the crime itself, but today they're going to look at conspiracy. i was in the courtroom in 2008. i saw the evidence. the evidence was that he conspired with a group of men to go into a hotel room where memorabilia dealers were expecting actual buyers and he knew guns were coming in. he told two men, don't forget your heat. and once they got in the room, o.j. was in charge. one of the other men pulled the gun. the property started being put in pillowcases and o.j. was i
