these people were among the people that goldstone said were helping provide russian government supportdonald trump. so you put together the meeting and the money, that looks like conspiracy. >> let me play a lult more of goldstone. i don't know about you. i was excited because reportedly lil wayne's new album was supposed to come out. it didn't come out. he said something when it comes to the leaking and the flipping, your own people could be them people. and i'm about to play you steve bannon, who was supposed to be trump's guy and goldstone talking about the view this meeting was treasonous. take a look. >> do you understand why us he says that? do you think he's right? >> there was a campaign chairman in that meeting, people have said to me shouldn't i have noun? shouldn't they have known? so yes, some of what steve bannon says, obviously, is correct. >> there are going to be people who hear you say that and say nobody is that naive. >> i get that. i us get that. >> howard? >> bingo. they are basically goldstone is heavy into the notion and with good reason that the trump people tho

it was goldstone who wanted to meet with don jr. to talk about hillary clinton. it got him an invitation to appear before the grand jury in washington, which he has now done. when he sat down with nbc news correspondent cynthia mcfadden, he described what that process is like. >> it's terrifying, even if you believe you've done absolutely nothing wrong. >> no lawyer. >> no lawyer. i was picked up by two fbi agents and driven to an underground entrance. >> how big is the room? >> the room is like a lecture room at a college. >> the 23 grand jurors? >> i would say they range probably from late 20s to early 30s to their 50s. black, white, latino. >> goldstone said the powerful russians he represented were excited about mr. trump back then five years ago because trump had good things to say about vladimir putin and about them at a time when nobody had anything good to say about either vladimir putin or russia. >>> that is our broadcast for this monday night as we begin a new week. thank you so very much for being here with us. good night from nbc headquarters here in

. >> let's start with the fact that rob goldstone made an important point.offer and participating and reacting to an offer to conspire. that conspiracy doesn't ever have to happen. and in a way it doesn't have to have any substantial backing, they have to believe that what they're doing is a fact. if they believe it, it can be prosecuted. the dirty offer is very much what bob mueller is looking at. i've always said that following the money is the essence of the mueller procedure and the mueller case. following the rubels, the dollars, that's exactly what this is. there are lots of money transfers that buzz feed and others have looked at. if money was moving, in a suspicious way. why was it moving in that way for what purpose. these people were among the people goldstone said were helping provide russian government support for donald trump. you put together the meeting and the money, that looks like conspiracy. >> i don't know about you. reportedly li'l wayne's new album was supposed to come out, it didn't come out. anyone who's seen -- when it comes to the l

goldstone sat down with our cynthia mcfadden for a wide-ranging interview, and among the topics, how he sees that offer now. >> so do you agree with national security officials, both prior and current, who believe that this meeting was a probe set up by the russian government of the trump campaign to see whether they'd be willing to do business with them? >> i've always looked at it in a slightly different way. i've always looked at it as a bait-and-switch. >> and possibly a crime? >> and possibly a crime. >> but it was a dirty offer? >> yes. >> it was a dirty offer that they accepted? >> yes, that is true. that didn't materialize, but yes, it's the willingness to accept it. >> and you can watch more of cynthia mcfadden's exclusive interview with rob goldstone monday morning on "today". >>> still ahead, family feud, except this episode may not play out so well for an arizona congressman seeking to be reelected. you've got to see the shocking message his brothers and his sisters have all come together to do for voters in his district. -computer, order pizza. -of course, daniel. -fridg

goldstone doesn't seem to be holding anything back. detail describes his grand jury testimony. he thinks it's unlikely -- he doesn't know for sure -- unlikely that president trump didn't know about the meeting. what do you think this all means for the broader investigation? g >> i think that's the most important unanswered question, whether the president knew about it. if you look at the account, he admits he was, you know, carrying out what he called a dirty operation, trying to, you know, get information from the russian government to the trump campaign and that they willingly accepted it. i think the most interesting thing he said in the interview is the speculation about what, you know, that the most important conversations were not the ones he had by e-mail with donald trump jr. but the two phone calls that donald trump had with ogolarof. we know he had one with him. he then made a call to the number that was blocked on the records he turned over. we know bob mueller will know who that was to. then he called back to accept the mee

ron, let's talk goldstone first. >> it was somewhat conditional.admit this was a potential crime. he didn't seem to directly implicate anybody but certainly his agreement that it was a dirty deal doesn't help the argument that they somehow -- >> he said it was a dirty offer. >> said it was a dirty offer. >> look, it's meaningful. it's hard to tell whether or not it's consequential on its own. >> then what does it do for the president's claim of no wrongdoing or don jr. saying we didn't know what it was going to be about and there wasn't fol w follow- follow-up? >> completely undermines it. we've talked about that. we've tried to call attention to that. to me, there's not much new here. if you follow the president when he was in new york and just a regular sort of real estate guy, nobody liked him and nobody liked him because they were always concerned about his dealings. felt they would get money, do these deals with shady people at any cost. that's why people sort of stayed away from him. the fact he's president of the united states. doesn't chang

here's part of the exclusive interview with rob goldstone that will air this morning on the "today" show. >> so you would agree with the intelligence officials both past and present who say that this was most likely a russian probe to the trump campaign. >> i mean, i can't say that definitively. i'm willing to believe that i don't know who wanted this meeting. >> reporter: but it was a dirty offer. >> yes. >> reporter: it was a dirty offer that they accepted. >> yes. that is true. that didn't materialize, but yes, it's the willingness to accept it. >> you can watch the full interview with rob goldstone coming up at 7:00 on "today" right after "today in the bay." >>> happening today in fresno, the epa is holding a hearing session on the trump administration's proposal to roll back car mileage standards. as we've been telling you the proposal would freeze u.s. mileage standards at levels mandated by the obama administration for 2020, instead of letting them rise to 36 miles per gallon by 2025. the trump administration says they're trying to make vehicles more affordable. today's hearing in
