j.d. gor ddon, he and others met with the russian ambassador during the republican convention in cleveland last july. according to j.d. gordon, the me meeting occurred during it. gordon said he and other advisers explained how they would like to see and the campaign would like to seibert relations between u.s. and russia. all this is important because gordon says he was part of a trump campaign effort to put a change in the republican party platform that advocated against the arming of the ukrainians and the fight against the prorussian rebels. that was a hot topic at the time. j.d. gordon tells me, at no time during the conversations was there talk of a quick proquo and in exchange for doing this at the convention, the trump campaign was hoping for help from the russians. he said nothing like that was discussed with the russian ambassador. the reason they saw the change in the republican party platform is earlier in the year, in march, during a national security meeting at the unfinished

the team that used to be around donald trump has not helped the president of the united states when j.d. gordon comes out and says yeah, we did bring up a conversation about russia at the convention. when it turns out that paul man ford was at a meeting when russia was brought up at a. when it comes out that senator sessions doesn't remember meeting with the ambassador. when carter paige says we did talk about russia at the convention. all these things might add up to nothing. but don't you believe they are hurting the president by not jogging their memory and coming forward with it? >> they are a distraction more than harmful. no i disagree. he got elected about 118, 119 days ago. you still hear the democrats screaming russia every day. they have haven't shown any connection. many people are trying to redo the election results still. this man has been president for a while now and he is going to continue to just move forward with his agenda. brian: you don't think those four people hurt the president? >> i think the president knows why he is here and what he is doing with his agenda. l
