chairman of the new york city housing council is calling for new sprinkler requirements on donald trump's trump tower. the legislation will be announced this afternoon. trump tower only has sprinklers on the first ten floors. most of which are commercial. in 1999, mr. trump lobbied heavily against the bill requiring high-rise buildings to install sprinkler systems. he avoided installing them after learning about a clause which exempts buildings put up before 1999. in addition to the one tenant death, six firefighters were injured on the saturday trump tower fire. >>> authorities are investigating after the roof of the charter bus carrying students was sheared off. more than 40 people were injured and six of them seriously. the bus was carrying 38 students from long island high schools and five chaperons which just returned from the european trip. investigators say they were heading from jfk airport to a shopping mall to meet up with parents. the driver was being evaluated and did not seem to be familiar with the roadway commercial vehicle height restrictions. >>> a jury is seated in the retrial of bi

trump tower meeting. that meeting at trump tower in june 2016, brought together top officials from the trump campaign, donald trump jr., paul manafort and jared kushner and a series of russians and russian societi associates. now they're reporting that natalia veselnitskaya has a closer relationship with top russians than previously known. natalia veselnitskaya has been attached to the top general of russia since 2013 when she worked with him to thwart a fraud case. in 2017 she told the senate judiciary committee i operate separate from any bodies. but once richard engel confronts her with the e-mails, here's how she described herself. >> but you can confirm you had this back and forth dialogue? um trying to find out in this case whether you were cooperating or colluding with the russian state, which raises questions about your background, particularly in light of the fact that you were in the trump tower with the -- >> the trump tower -- >> that's what this is all about. the only reason i'm asking you these questions is because of the contacts that you had with the most senior people who are now in our gove

for instance two days before the trump tower meeting donald trump jr. had two calls with the son of a russian oligarch who was arranging logistics for the meeting. accordg to democrats, quote, donald trump jr.'s phone records also show a bloed number at 4:27 p.m. between the two calls trump junior claimed he did not know who was associated with the blocked number. the report notes that former trump campaign member corey lewandowski told the committee that mr. trump's primary residence has a blocked phone line. democrats suggest that then candidate trump may have been in touch with his son at the time they was planning the meetings with the russians. but the republicans say, quote, despite the minority repeated efforts to obtain home or cell phone recds for the then candidate trump to determine whether the blocked call was trump junior's father, the majority was unwilling to pursue the matter. joining us now is michael isikoff, natasha bertrapped and stephen harper. welcome to all of you. thank you for being with us. stephen, let me start with you, as it

trump tower. based on the e-mails that donald trump jr. was forced to make public, he was explicitly told there was an effort by the rv russian government to aid his father's campaign. so were the high-level officials that included not just trump jr. but also jared kushner and paul manafort aware of the extent of the natalia veselnitskaya's ties to the kremlin? also, when you played that clip of adam schiff discussing her outreach after the election, what was the nature of that conversation from the trump end of it, and was there, in fact, some sort of quid pro quo that was established? certainly this is all the more reason why that particular meeting is a central focus of mueller's investigation, both as a panel piece of evidence about maybe an intent to collude but also when it comes to obstruction of justice. you'll recall the white house put out a highly misleading statement to explain that meeting. >> and it does seem to be the cumulation of all of these little contacts. adam, we're now learning that the national rifle association is

walked in a couple months ago to do an interview with him, it was pretty much a shrine to donald trump. >> trump tower. >> no, michael cohen has an office at 30 rock. >> that's right. our building. >> but it was pretty much a photo of michael cohen's daughter and surrounded by inauguration paraphernalia, photo of himself with the president. michael cohen really looks up to donald trump. >> do you think trump's office has pictures of michael cohen? >> somehow i doubt it. >> gene, how many times in washington have you heard that line, what goes around comes around? you treat people like dirt, somehow they end up on your jury at some point. >> clearly, that sort of treatment has not bothered michael cohen up to now, because he has remained with donald trump and seems to relish in being his fixer, his go-to guy, his ray donovan, as he calls himself. kind of ridiculously. look, everybody flips, right? basically, everybody -- >> the mueller m.o. >> right. if federal prosecutors have something on you, and they want you to tell them something, they will get you -- they'll get you to tell it. they have -- fede

one of those leads raises new questions about whether donald trump was aware of that trump tower meeting, something he's publicly denied. two days before that june meeting in trump tower, donald trump jr. reportedly had two calls from the son of a russian oligarch who was arranging the logistics for the meeting. according to house democrats, quote, his phone records also show a blocked number at 4:27 p.m. that day between the two calls. trump jr. claimed he did not know who was associated with that blocked number. the democratic report also notes that corey lewandowski -- it aappears donald trump senior may have been in touch with his son at the very time he was planning to meet with the russians. however house democrats note the majority was unwilling to pursue the matter. ken dilanian, let's talk about this. the lack of appetite for the republicans on the house intelligence committee for digging up the truth is amazing. this paul revere character, nunes, who runs down to the white house to get the talking points basically and then delivers the talking points back to the west wing, and

donald trump has been involved in. so he's never appeared in court for him. he's never been engaged, hired by donald trump for a particular matter. he was sitting in trump tower in an office in the trump organization doing a variety of things for which you don't need a law degree. he himself says that donald trump never specifically engaged him in this stormy daniels matter. so can there be an attorney-client privilege between michael cohen and donald trump over anything involving stormy daniels when both of them have said, publically, that donald trump did not engage michael cohen as an attorney in that case? >> i think the evidence may be to the contrary, because in negotiating the nda, the hush agreement, with stormy daniels, he certainly was acting as an attorney. he also formed, as an attorney, an organization to pay the money. and i think that he did hold himself out as the president's lawyer. the president always has referred to him as his attorney. so there is some confusion in them now saying, i never hired him for a specific matter. i'm sure that mr. davidson, who was stormy daniels's original lawyer, thought he was dealing with an attorney in this

how about we try to score a meeting with guys like kushner and donald trump jr. in trump tower? what do you think? there is no way that the kremlin would have allowed that to happen. there is also no way they would have done that knowing the consequences like that freela e freelancing like that would have brought when they got back to moscow. it just doesn't happen that way in russia. >> patrick, very quickly, if you will, we have the midterms coming up. more drip, drip, drip from the russia investigation. what do you see as the impact? >> it's a real concern. we have a story in "the new york times" up today about how president trump is privately rejecting republican warnings that they are likely to lose the house and maybe even the senate. that he really believes that this is not a problem. that everything is going to work out. that just like people underestimated him in 2016, they'll do so again in 2018. and he keeps sort of rejecting it over and over again. but the problem is, a, he's not on the ballot. and b, the russian investigation, the drip, drip, drip aspect of it and h

. >> cohen caught trump's attention when he became treasurer of the board for the trump world tower. >> donald trump is impressed by the effort that michael cohen helped lead to oppose a tenants' movement to reorganize the building. >> he took trump's side against the other owners in the building. trump was grateful. >> after counseling the real estate mogul on legal matters, cohen received a job offer from the man he long admired. cohen became trump's special counsel and executive vice-president of the trump organization in 2006. >> it was a pretty alluring universe to be in trump tower. this is a man who idolized him for years before he ended up wo working there. it was a dream come true. >> michael cohen who voted for obama in 2008 threw his support behind donald trump. cohen's business and political ambitions merged. >> i think before the election, michael cohen was perhaps more political than donald trump was. this is someone who encouraged donald trump to run for president. had been involved in campaigns before. >> cohen took a trip to iowa in trump's plane to meet republican operatives.

donald trump jr. in 2006 when he was trying to set up the trump tower meeting. and in that e-mail he said that there's information that would -- was part of the russian government's attempt to help donald trump's campaign. this information would be delivered by a russian government attorney. but natalia veselnitskaya said she -- insisted she wasn't a russian government attorney, she was just a private attorney. but, you know, that -- by this point, i think her -- that assertion is pretty well shredded. >> yeah, i mean look, he was the guy, yeah, listed in the e-mail, the conversation to donald trump jr., as the one providing the dirt on hillary clinton. she, now we know, was an informant for this guy. any sense how long natalia veselnitskaya was or has been an informant to the office of the russian prosecutor general? >> i believe at one point she worked for them or she worked for the regional office that was connected to them. and she has had close ties with them over the years. in this case, in two thousand -- the e-mails that we obtained, 2014, so two years be

the shocking declaration from the russian lawyer who was at the center of the infamous trump tower meeting with donald trump's son, his son-in-law and campaign chairman. the "times" is reports that veselnitskaya admitted for the first time what had long been believed, that her ties to top russian government officials were much closer than she let on. and the other breaking news, the house intelligence committee has released a redacted version of the republican's report on the month long russia investigation, their conclusion, no collusion. let's get to it all. the major report from the "new york times" first off, we'll speak to one of the reporters. but first let's get to evan perez joining me. what do you see in this? >> well, this report really confirms what we've all thought about natalia veselitskaya's denials. she has denied any link to the kremlin and to the russian government ever since the story broke. and now we see essentially their e-mails that have been released by a critic of the kremlin showing that she was in close contact with the chief prosecutor there in moscow. she now also has prov

that was what ended up being the subject of that trump tower meeting. donald trump jr. was expecting dirt on hillary clinton. instead, the russian lawyer, she talked about sanctions and adoptions and getting this overturned. so what we learned yesterday was there was follow-up after the campaign, after donald trump was elected from both her and a russian oligarch involved with organizing that meeting as an attempt to see if the trump campaign that was turning into the trump transition would look at overturning those sanctions. >> howard, do you view that as a significant development? could this have an impact on the mueller investigation? >> it absolutely could have an impact. it is significant. obviously communications going beyond the campaign cycle and into the transition will have implications for the white house. bifurcating what happened in 2016 and how it might impact trump's governance is a development. >> kevin, do you see this more as a partisan interpretation of, this or do you think there's some there there? >> i think it is a very interesting development. i

donald trump, jr., on that june 9 meeting at trump tower, met with a spy and he told the team that brought him the information, i love it. and it would be better if we can disseminate what you're trying to give to me right before the election. they knew exactly what they were doing. they were willing and eager to work with the russians. for us today to learn that she is a spy i think shows just how irresponsible it was to close our investigation. >> and, jeremy peters of "the new york times," reminds me steve bannon has colorful descriptions in "fire and fury" what he believed don junior to have done with whatever he learned in that meeting as it relates to his father, informing him, bringing him into the loop. i think the book suggests that he may have even brought the participants up to the president's office to meet with him. nbc news has not reported that as a news organization, but you wanted to get to the bottom of whether the president had knowledge through another avenue and those subpoenas were not permitted. take us through that. it is something your colleague adam schiff has tal

their important too because they facilitated the july 2016 trump tower meeting but they had also done business with donald trump before -- before he ran for office. they were instrumental in hosting the miss universe pageant in moscow and they were in talks with the trump organization to build trump tower in moscow, so that's very interesting. this also comes with the white house pushing back by saying manafort has nothing to do with this. we're seeing more information trickle out about manafort, his role in the campaign and even whether he had any role in foreign contributions coming in to the u.s. >> all right. important new developments there as well. thank you very much. >>> it is crystal clear the president is furious at the raid of his long time lawyer, his friend, his fixer, michael cohen. what not clear, what is not clear, is what he will do next? we'll take a look at the president's mindset and what he's been saying behind the scenes but chinese vowing to slash auto imports. how the markets react to this news? stay with us. let's begin. yes or no? do you want the same tools and seamless experienc

trump tower. i think the real key to this is did donald trump jr. know she was connected to the russian government? did jared kushner know? that's the real connection to whether there was any collusion. going into this meeting, did they know her ties to the russian government. >> would there be any legal implications there if someone had known that in fact they were meeting with a russian informant? >> not necessarily anything different that what we've been talking about, the drafting of the white house plain letter. they were told they were meeting to someone connected to what they call mistakenly the crown prosecutor. whatever they thought going in, they had every reason to believe there was actually a russian government person in the room with them and that does put a different spin on it to me. >> legally what is the definition of an informant? >> it just someone giving information basically. it's just someone for their own purposes giving information back. she didn't have to have a technical title or a paycheck but she's working at the behest o

. >> this is the same attorney who plet in june of 2016 with the president's son donald trump jr. at trump towerith paul manafort the campaign manager at the time and the president's son-in-law jared kushner. when she met with the trump campaign the president's son said they discussed adopts, then he later acknowledged that veselnitskaya was also offering information about the clinton campaign, trump junior said essentially made no sense. the kremlin has maintained it has had no contact with veselnitskaya even though she says she was talking with the prosecutor general's office and has been doing so since 2013. so of course this is all happening as there is that ongoing investigation with robert mueller looking into any type of russian interference into the 2016 presidential election. trace. >> trace: it gets deeper and deeper. rich, live at the state department, thank you. ananinta practices civil litigation in states and in court. tom clancy would be taking notes if he was alive, it gets layers and layers. veselnitskaya goes to the meeting in 2016, saying she has dirt on hillary clinton. then

meaning the trump tower meeting with donald trump junior, you issued a number of recommendations and warnings about the system sort of not being braced for any kind of attack or attempted attack here. what should people make of this? >> well, the real disappointment is we're supposed to look at four things, what did russia do with whom if anyone did they do it what was the u.s. government's response in 2016 and the issue of the dissimination of classified material. unfortunately the focus was always on that second prong, not just what did russia do but with whom if anyone did they do it? i ask a lot of tough questions on the trump tower meeting. i was tougher on steve bannon than any democrat was. when the transcripts come out. i think my fellow citizens will see the republicans did take it seriously. but when all you're interested in is seeing the president indicted, then yes, that investigation will not turn out well from a bipartisan standpoint >> you never got to interview michael flynn, former national security advisor >> we don't get to interview anyone under indictment, their

donald trump jr. talked three days before the trump tower meeting who had set it up. they did everything they could to protect the president. there was very little. you can see it in the public transcripts. very little attendance on their part. when they did show up the questions they asked were essentially hey, did you no. okay. great. next. >> you and other democrats would come on and be visibly frustrated by what you thought was lack of interest. i'm sure some were saying you are just saying that because you're democrats. if you look at that should this be a revelation after the investigation is closed? >> we all knew she was a spy when she offered dirt on hillary clinton through the trump family. it was during the summer of 2016. it was an unannounced meeting. other parts of the globe she would pop up and meet with congressman. she is a spy. she is competing as employee of the year for the russian government. how hard she was working. it should have been obvious. i have written legislation that is called a duty to report which says if you were contacted as a candi
