meanwhile who is the woman at the center of the meeting with donald trump junior? t a lot of people are asking. this meeting took place during the campaign at trump tower, and so far we know natalia veselnitskaya is a russian lawyer who apparently had enough clout to land a meeting with some of the top players on the trump campaign. but who is she? we're joined by ivan watson. the kremlin is denying knowing her and saying the kremlin was not aware of this meeting. what do we know about her? >> reporter: that's right. the kremlin has distanced itself from natalia veselnitskaya saying they do not know who she is and they should not be expected to keep track of every russian lawyer who travels abroad or to the u.s. as for veselnitskaya, we reached out and have been in communication with her. she has not agreed to an interview. she did give a statement to the new york times. he does not represent the russian government and she also insisted she did not discuss the presidential campaign during her meeting with donald trump junior in june of 2016. what we do know is there

in a statement to cnn donald trump junior does not deny this meeting happened, and a member of presidentmp's outside legal team also tells cnn the president was not aware of this meeting and did not attend. i want you to listen now to vice president mike pence. this is on january 15th when chris wallace of fox news sunday asked pence directly if there was ever contact between trump and the kremlin. let's watch. >> was there any contact in any way between trump or his associates and the kremlin or cutouts they had? >> i -- i joined this campaign in the summer, and i can tell you that all the contact by the trump campaign and the associates was with the american people. we were fully engaged with taking his message to make america great again all across this country. >> did you ask mr. trump if there were any contacts, sir? i'm trying to get an answer. >> of course, not. why would there be any contacts with the campaign? >> that is a distraction and part of a narrative to delegitimize an election and to question the legitimacy of this presidency. >> i want to talk more about this with davi

if donald trump junior testify? if donald trump junior testify? nior testify? if donald trumpjunior were to be subpoenaed he would have to appear in front of the judiciary review and that would be very significant because he would need the highest member of resident from's in a circle to testify with regards to the russia investigation. it is unclear whether will —— when that will happen and whether it will be in public and also whether or not he chooses to invoke the fifth amendment, which allows him to not a nswer amendment, which allows him to not answer questions. remember there are multiple congressional investigations into the trump campaign's ties to russia and so the intelligence committee also wants to speak to everybody involved in that 110w speak to everybody involved in that now very controversial meeting between donald trump junior and now very controversial meeting between donald trumpjunior and the campaign manager and the russian lawyer, the top democrat mark warner has said this is all very disturbing and wants to know why it has t

that was information that was controlled not by my client, not by the president, but by donald trump junior made a decision how to release that out. the president was not involved in that decision. and donald trump junior said he disclosed several aboabout the . so from our perspective, my answer stands. the president was not engaged in this or aware of it. >> let's bring in bruce levell, hello to you. i want to talk about how bill flores is suggesting what are distractions from his agenda. >> i think it would be in the president's best interest to remove all of the children from the white house. not only donald trump but ivanka and jared kushner. i wish that he would do that so the white house can use professionals. >> i think it is healthy to have a family support structure around him. morally, and i don't see any conflict of interest whatsoever. i think it is an unfair statement. what happened to the time that we, as americans and parts of some media did not attack the president's children. there has to be a level of restoring that et quit iquette coming after children. >> it's different

donald trump's oldest son, donald trump junior took a meeting with a russian lawyer who claimed to have damaging information about hillary clinton. pressure has been building on donald trump jr. at the reports emerged that he met with a russian lawyer as a part of it in one effort -- kremlin effort oto help his father when the u.s. presidency. to talk about this, i am joined by alexander at the white house. -- alexandra at the white house. what has come out of this chain of emails? alexandra: what is very significant about the emails is that we now know that donald trump junior wanted to meet this russian lawyer in order to get dirt -- damaging information on hillary clinton. we also know that i had of this meeting, he was informed that this was part of russia's government support for his father. his response to that was "i love it." this is very significant because this is the first public indication that at least some in trump's campaign were willing to accept russia's help. brent: donald trump junior said that he posted the emails. he did it to be transparent. is this a move that is

live in this dc bubble, this media bubble and on the top of probably everyone's rundown was donald trump juniorhis meeting that he had. so we took to the streets to find out, you know, when it comes to people's every day lives, are you focused on the trump russia story or series of stories or the healthcare debate. take a listen to what people had to say. >> healthcare debate. we need to make adjustments in what we're doing with healthcare. the russia debate seems like just endless churning of no new information. >> i think focused on bo. healthcare debate is a pressing matter for everyone and the russian debate might be something that lasts longer. through history >> for us internationally it would be trump and russia. it's news all over the world. >> reporter: now, of course, we took to twitter as well. a lot of you wanted to weigh in on this debate in twitter. over 100 of you responded. 34% of you said trump and russia. 66% said healthcare. pretty interesting good reminder to keep our coverage varied and balanced as best as we can, which is obviously what we always try to do. sending it back

donald trump junior said he didn't meet with russians, but he did. ome point that's relevant because donald trump is the president of the united states and everybody around him appears to be lying about why they're meeting with russians. what's to hide? >> i think you're jumping to assumptions there that may not be accurate. mr. sessions was in a hotel with the ambassador, and it's reasonable, frankly, for members of the senate to have discussions with him. but nonetheless, does this really relate, is it a material fact regarding any collusion with russia regarding the campaign? i think it's all speculative. i think it's maybe good for 24 hour news media, but what material effect has it really had? that's really what makes the difference. >> all right. let's talk about health care, because we're hearing there may be another healthcare bill tomorrow from the senate. at some point what are you and your colleagues talking about with this healthcare bill? are we going to keep on trying until we get something? are republicans really going to try and stick

taking a deeper look at this email, it might not look so good for donald trump junior. first of all, the times now has the email to donald trump junior offering russia aid and in the email, they basically say they want information, nothing wrong with that if he wants to meet with someone who has damaging information, nothing wrong with that. a hostile foreign government that wants to help a political campaign, yes, there is a problem with that. here is donald trump, jr.,'s reply and i'm quoting. "if it's what you say, i love it." he obviously wanted information to potentially help his father's campaign, there is no proof here that he was going to try to make some sort of deal in exchange for favors, however, it doesn't look good that he was in fact dealing with this russian lawye lawyer. >> exactly, and this gets to the level of legal advice and he's getting. it's incredible a perplexing that don, jr., would post to this email chain on twitter hoping that somehow it would exonerate him. the reality is that what's in these emails raises more questions than the emails them

what do you make of all the developments from donald trump junior's emails? the first time the public has seen clear evidence that there was an attempt to offer information to the trump campaign by clearly an organized effort by the russian government. the fact that this is one more example of senior officials from the trump campaign or trump organization who continued to deny these contacts with russians until evidence comes out, then they have to recant. reporter: senator, what is next? is this collusion -- what are the next steps in the process? >> other members can jump to conclusions. my job is to keep the investigation going in a bipartisan fashion. this is a very significant development. we are just starting on our committee on the senate intelligence committee, to start to talk to the people affiliated with the trump campaign, the individuals who were in the meeting with donald trump junior. we will want to talk to all of them. reporter: are you going to speak with him? >> absolutely. reporter: what will you ask him? >> why was he so excited, and why

what donald trump junior did was hand the entire world a smoking gun with it. that's huge problem, as charles crowd hammer said it best, bunk he willed collusion is still collusion. the intent to collude is just another step in that growing image problem. >> speaking of that the story we've been talking about, the second undisclosed meeting with vladimir putin. how big of an issue is that and how should they have handled that one >> it's like i said it's not a huge legal issue, per se but it is a big perception issue. we don't know what was said. there's no official record. it's left up to the president and there's no one from the united states who was there. so you know, definitely doesn't help. >> we know the white house has said all along, this is fake news. yet, there are many people who believe the white house accounts on this regardless of what the media may report. so you know, that's -- that's something that works on both sides there, andrew >> it does. and there's definitely, you know, if you look at reddit, all these online for rumble of thunder, ther

. >> reporter: they are intrigued about the details of this meeting between donald trump junior and a russian attorney and lobbyist at trump power last june. they want to dig deeper. she talked about wanting to hear them testify before the senate intelligence committee. here's more. >> i would like to hear from all these individuals whether we'll be able to get the russian nationals to come over and testify is an open question. those people that are committee has jurisdiction over, the americans. i sure as heck want to talk to all of them. >> we need to get to the bottom of this but the only way we're going to do it is just not talk to donald trump junior who has offered to cooperate for which i give him credit but to everyone who is at that meeting and who was involved in setting up that meeting. that maybe difficult in the case of the russian nationals but we certainly ought to try. >> reporter: heard from senator mark warner there as well. the white house is trying to do everything it can to keep the focus away from the russia investigation. they have announced a series of three th

and i guess intent on the part of donald trump junior and jared kushner as well on this email to intervene in the election process. >> as viewpoints of that i think are most significant here is that one it shows that the trump campaign was willing to accept information or assistance from a foreign government to help undermine their opponent. first of all, that is a violation of election laws, you are not allowed to solicit information from a foreign country could help your campaign. questions, there are other protections to keep foreign governments from influencing our election system. it also shows that the trump campaign new that the russian government was looking to help them. that they were supportive of trump and wanted to see him elected. previously, administration officials, members of the campaign have said not only that they didn't meet with any russians, or anyone related to -- with ties to the kremlin, but also, that this idea that russia was interfering in the campaign to try and help them to some extent was a witch hunt, was a fantasy, something cooked up ," or theake media de

[laughter] host: a lot of this seems -- how much of this can be traced back to that pageant in 2013? >> it seems like a lot of it is headed in that direction. remember earlier this year when there was that proven to be. given james comey had to take to the president-elect and say, somebody has been circulating this and it has a salacious allegations against you? and somebody is trying to get people to talk about this in washington. that all traces back to the pageant as well. a lot of this might have to do with th

as recently as this week, we have put out requests to donald trump junior appeared i'm going to take him -- donald trump junior appeared a going to take him at his word that he wants to corporate with the committee. chancemportant we get a to review documents first so the committee has a chance to ask both of these individuals the -- wef questions that want to have the information so we ask the appropriate questions. i think it is not appropriate to go through the type of documents requested, but we feel it is important we have all of the appropriate information so we can ask the right questions. it is very troubling to me, in the case of mr. kushner, that we now have three meetings with russians that he at least omitted from his initial filing. it would seem to me a meeting of this nature, a meeting represented in the black and white in terms of female traffic -- terms of email traffic, what happened with a representative of the russian government, in terms of what was representat ed in the mail was part of a russian effort to help then candidate trump and hurt then candidate clinton
