i want hans nichols to help break this down. what exactly did the white house know about russian contacts and when did they know it? it seems during the mike flynn issue, the white house was saying we didn't realize mike flynn did this. a meeting at trump tower with jared there? >> reporter: the wte house is saying this is an introductory meeting. it was a chance for ambassador kislyak to get to know jared, the son-in-law of donald trump. officials are saying they learned about the meeting when it was first reported in the press. the new yorker had the story last week and yesterday, they confirmed it. they are saying it's one of dozens of introductory meetings kushner and flynn had, sort of preparing to have a transition and a white house that was more functioning and in touch with foreign leaders. just to give you a quick example of that, on march 14th, angela merkel will meet here. these are introductory meetings, planning meetings. the white house is giving me one collective yawn about the story. clearly, it's getting a lot o
