when trump jr. was later asked why? because i wouldn't bring him anything unsubstantiated before i knew what it was about myself. last year cohen testified before two congressional committees. but a source familiar with the testimony tells cnn he did not testify that trump had any advance knowledge of the trump tower meeting. now the president's attorney rudy giuliani is attacking cohen's credibility. >> the man is a liar. a proven liar. there's no way you're going to bring down the president of the united states on the testimony uncorroborated of a proven liar. i guarantee you this guy is a proven liar. >> reporter: when just a few weeks ago giuliani seemed to have faith in cohen's truthfulness. >> if he believes it's in his best interest, cooperate. i don't expect that michael cohen will lie. i think he's going to tell the truth. as best he can given his recollection. and if he does that, we're home free. >> reporter: donald trump jr. and the special counsel are making news today for the most random of reasons that pe

donald trump jr. michael cohen says that he and all the other people there then heard donald trump sr. assent to the meeting and say it should go forward. he approved it happening. if that's the case, this is -- this is very serious, not just in terms of what this means about michael cohen's case and who is leaking what. this could be a very serious criminal matter for the president. >> and immediate perjury case for the likes of congress for donald trump jr. because he told one of the congressional committees that he absolutely never ever told his father about this meeting. >> right. and, so, perjury claims, the question of who spoken to the special counsel, who has been interviewed. that will all become important here, as will the specific nature of what the then candidate now president was advised as to what those russians were bringing. if he was advised, they got her e-mails, this was hacked information. if he was advised this was stuff the russian government somehow obtained by criminal means, t

after trump jr. said he didn't tell his father about the meeting -- >> there was nothing to tell. >> reporter: -- cohen tweeted, so glad he was so honest and transparent with the american people. and pushed back on the long-time fixer. i did not know of the meeting with my son don jr. sounds like someone is trying to make up stories to get out of an unrelated jam. >> i expected something like this. he's lying all week, for years. >> reporter: that is not how giuliani characterized cohen just weeks ago an cnn's "state of the union." >> i do not expect michael cohen will lie. i think he'll tell the truth. >> reporter: democrats said this opens a new front in the russia probe. >> effectively brings the collusion conclusion to the president's feet. >> reporter: capping the very very turbulent week is this bit of remarkable news. reporting this afternoon, a photo of robert mueller waiting to board a flight at reagan national airport in d.c. and look behind him. that same gate, donald trump jr. wearing tha

(jr stone) in world news. house democratic leader nancy pelosi....is pledging to help speed up puerto rico's hurricane recovery process. she and 15 other u.s. and territorial representatives toured the island this weekend... to learn about needs that haven't been met more than 10 months after hurricane maria hit. some 260 power customers remain without electricity.... and more than 28 thousand puerto ricans have been denied help by fema. the visit comes after a group of democrats filed a bill that would allow puerto rico and other us. territories to cancel their debt if they meet certain conditions.(sot) we got a report just a couple of weeks ago and said that the was not equipped with money and nobody was ready for a second storm especially of that magnitude. so let's take a cleareyed evaluation of. they weren't ready so can they make some additional concessions to puerto rico as we go forward to compensate to mitigate for that for that shortcoming. this is fema's own report that i'm talking about. house demo

"donald trump jr. has been professional and responsible throughout the mueller and congressional investigations." i will go to how quickly this story has moved. here we are at the end of july, these two sides are at open war and one may be cooperating with the mueller investigation and those are big tectonic changes. >> ken, as a reminder to our viewers and listeners here, trump and their camp has consistently denied that then candidate trump knew. >> did you tell your father anything about this? >> it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. i would not remembered it until you start scouring through this stuff? >> did you know at the time? >> no, i did not know anything at the time. >> the president says he became aware of it recently right before this came out. that was when he was notified. >> it must have been an important meeting because i never heard of it. >> this incident, this is all of it. >> this is everything. assuming that cohen is telling the truth here, ken, he's willing to testify

don jr. taxi cabs, maybe. he even retained bill and crooked hillary's lawyer. gee, i wonder if they helped him malk the choice. times change. the president, his allies, repeatedly, public times inned that the president was unaware of the meeting until just a few days before it made headlines a year ago. in other words, a year after it happened. here is it -- >> did you know that -- >> no, i didn't know anything about it. it must have been a very unimportant meeting, bought i didn't even heard of it. >> no one even told you a word about it? >> nobody -- i didn't know that. it's -- it sounded like a very unimportant meeting. >> let's just go to the details of this unimportant meeting. team trump has changed its story many times. don jr. originally said he never met with my russians, and then the emails forced him to admit that he did south sit down with a russian lawyer who promised to have dirt on hillary clinton. as the meeting gets through, significance as we found out who was there and the

us to believe that don jr.et up this meeting all by himself without consulting his father. do you believe that at this point? >> well, i know what they said publicly and i know what they said under oath and simone said something before the break. the story they told publicly and what we know they said under oath released to some comm committees. verses of donald trump jr. said and sarah sanders, at some point all those stories don't match, all of those stories will be in trouble. a lot of these investigative situations, people don't go line for the over line crime, they go down for an under line obstruction or perjury or lying to committee or something like that. this whole thing has been unfolding. that's what i have been wondering about. who has said what to what committee or under oath. >> let's just put aside tonight's breaking news and you consider the different story that's been told of this meeting and they denied he had anything to do of the drafting and hope hicks and on and on. do you believe any of t

donald trump, jr., and his father talked about donald trump, jr.'s work on behalf of the campaign throughout the pendency of the campaign. and of course there were the actions donald trump took after the meeting was exposed in his efforts to try and cover up the meeting by trying to dictate the statement that donald trump, jr., gave to the press. it's not really a surprise, but now is the time for michael cohen to cooperate with bob mueller. and if this was a real investigation on the house side, we would be bringing michael cohen and donald trump, jr., back in. but unfortunately the republicans prematurely and irresponsibly ended our investigation. so this is all on mueller now. >> matt miller, talk about the optics of this. if this really is evidence of collusion, why put it out this way? why put it out in the media instead of sharing it with people investigating collusion with russia? >> it's a great question. it's hard to answer for sure because we don't know who this came from. we don't know if it came from michael cohen where you would presume

donald trump jr.'s lawyer says we are very confident of the accuracy and reliability of the information that has been provided by don jr. for now, no proof of whatever went down, a he said, they said situation. >> as for donald trump jr., he was spotted at the airport yesterday waiting for a flight just a few feet from none other than the special counsel, robert mueller spokes person said the two did not interact in this picture that was released by politico play book but it's one of those d.c. moments you just can't make up. >> thank you so much. >>> let's bring in reporter for the hill and a chief washington correspondent. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> kevin, let's start with you. the particular allegation was not recorded by michael cohen so if this is a he said she said situation like hallie just put it who has more credibility? president trump or michael cohen? >> well it depends on who you support, but look, i think in terms of credibility for the purposes of the investigation, bo

martin luther king jr. out of jail. he placed a well-timed call to the governor, they got king off before the election. kennedy became president. he also told him, i will not use federal forces to intervene on behalf of nick gratian. then he's telling black people, i'm going to help you civil rights. bobby kennedy was a younger brother, less knowledgeable but more inclined to have conversations like today. he stepped into the room. it was their penthouse on central park. he started up and said, i am trying to figure out what rages going on a black america. you're listening to the black muslims not martin luther king jr. he was forced to work with him. he did not want king there or whitney young. he did not want others there he wanted figures on the cutting edge he felt could tell the truth. not people beholden to their organizations. he wanted people to tell from there got what the truth was. he gathered them there, kennedy begins and then trump smith rips into him. he says, we are not here for a pity party

donald trump jr., does anyone believe donald trump jr. is going to take a meeting like this and not tell his father? i don't know him. but i have seen him. when he testifies donald trump jr., before it's the house intel. he alleges and some attorney client privilege. there's no lawyer in the room. he claims that stage he can't talk about it because there was a lawyer in the room. we don't know who it was. we know michael cohen was still donald trumps lawyer. june 9, everyone. that's the date that everyone is focussed on. >> think about it. i have gone to trump tower. there's different floors. the configuration is everyone's office is in a row. with glass. you can see. and then right in the middle when you walk in the conference room, at least where they conduct business. the conference room is right by the elevator and the entrance. everyone can see everything. david, take a look at what rudy giuliani said. about michael cohen. to chris. watch this. >> the man is a liar. a proven liar. there's no way you'll bring down the president of the

and allen, don jr.'s lawyer, came out with this vague and opaque statement, just blanketly saying that they're confident the information that don jr. provided was accurate but not really getting to the heart of the matter which was, this did not take place, he not the tell his father about it. so we're seeing the larger implications, not just potential collusion but another part of the robert mueller investigation, obstruction of justice. if it can be shown that don jr. lied. not for perjury but false statements. if it can be shown that trump did know about it, he crafted the false statement on air force one. that's huge implications. >> everybody, stand by. we now have the photo. this was taken by politico. what we have spotlighted, i cannot believe what we have been discussing. this is reagan airport in washington, d.c., the man spotlighted on the left of the screen, just sitting there. this is robert mueller. this is the special counsel who is the one we've been saying knows way more than we all. do h

on the right, donald trump jr. on the left, robert mueller, the man investigating events involving don jr. and his dad. the only thing more awkward, if they sat next to one another on the plane. it just so happens, junior's infamous meeting in the trump tower is one of the biggest news stories of the day. the first accusation that trump knew about a direct link between his campaign and the russians. this is coming from the man who was trump's closest ally. trump's exlawyer, michael cohen, says he is ready to talk to ron mueller. again, the man in that photo, that trump was aware of that trump tower meeting in june 2016 ahead of time. that is the meeting where russians sat in trump tower with a number of folks in the campaign, the top campaign officials, including don jr. there in the photo, hoping the get some sort of dirt on hillary clinton. the major player not seen here is president trump and he had this to say about cohen's claims. this is what the president tweeted. i did not, in all caps, know of the meeting

donald trump jr. and the other staff? and what do you say to people who feel like, that would be two more years of fixating on 2016 election events? >> our investigations should always be about the future. we look back to inform us as to how we can best protect our democracy from something like the happening again. pling schiff has that, and i agree, if bob mueller's investigation and the senate investigation are not able to produce reforms going forward, of course we'll do our duty and go back and see what is unanswered. if they do their job and bob mueller can tell the country what happened, i don't think we want to reopen it. it is also not too late for republicans sign on. i think it is too charged to handle this in congress. we should put experts and elders and states persons on it. who worked the russians and what reforms we can make so it never happens again. we did it after september 11 and that's a great model west should take this opportunity to do it now. >> thank you for your time. >>> still ahead, 35 potentia

they know don trump jr. behind closed doors, to the public, doesn't matter to republicans on the hill. don jump jr. is who we know he is. jonathan rightly points out, the legality is what matters i don't know any republicans on the hill have a reason to get involvedfine with him re-appearing, he's again going to lie. this family looks us in the face and lies to us. a segment of the republican party buys that and another part of the part that rejects that. frankly, i agree, it's early. no problem with don trump jr. going to the hill and clarifying what he said before, but my sense is that he's going to go and he's going to lie again. the trump organization as a whole always wins out by saying, look at the democrats. look at the liberals. they just want to take us down. >> jonathan, you mentioned the tapes. 100 of them reportedly in existence. listen to lanny davis, michael cohen's lawyer. responding to questions about why these tapes were made in the first place, or how. here it is. >> michael cohen has an an

by donald trump jr., his son. by cohen's account, trump approved going ahead with that meeting with the russians. i should note, don, cohen does not have evidence such as audio recordings to corroborate this claim. i should also add that a source familiar with cohen's house testimony -- remember he testified on the hill -- said he did not testify at that time that trump had advance knowledge and the reports filed by republicans and democrats on that house intelligence committee did not mention these claims. >> okay. so then what about the president's side? what's the response? >> so we reached out to everyone involved here. let's start with the attorney for donald trump jr. he tells cnn, i'm quoting, donald trump jr. has been professional and responsible throughout the mueller and congressional investigations. we are very confident in the accuracy and reliability of the information that has been provided by mr. trump jr. and on his behalf. attorneys, that is lanny davis. we also contacted one of cohen's attorneys,

or allowed into jr when one around the house jr gets out and while you are around you know there is a lot of those alive we are from the south so the yellowness jr the thousand hours around now. and so that leaves the three of you also a car or whatever that. jr comes from around the house and he's kind of like grew close to the car while walking around in one place. and they were paid less than outside the car walking up to the car. they had fake s.s. and the windows rolled down and when he hit them. naturae face the door step back up fell forward and asked what pace i'm going to back ahead and i jumped out the car so when we played jr somewhere out of our own here or there and one place. it was then right right in front of the do the stand in their own player . and a conversation of yours a round robin was well conversation going on in the car ride before and during. that point. she thought wow. ok before you use it in my play was it not of that as well as is. done under lenses and what are you going to use those two dollars penitentiaries to. door. to door. fly. can you remember ho

on july 8, 2017, don jr. down played the meeting that happened a year and a month earlier, saying in a statement they primarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children. reports surfaced nearly a month later that president trump helped draft that statement himself, while aboard air force o one, calling the meeting, quote, not a campaign issue at the time. on july 9, just a day later, don jr. walked that back a bit acknowledging that he did meet with the russians, for campaign information, but the meeting turned out to be about adoptions. two days later, on july 11, don jr. appeared on "fox news" and said this. >> a lot of people are going to want to know this about your father. did you tell your father anything about this? >> no. it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. i mean i wouldn't even have remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. it was just a waste of 20 minutes. >> then the next day in an exclusive interview with reuters, the president asked if he knew the

trump jr. trump approved going ahead with that meeting with the russians. >> we should note this that our sources said cohen did not have evidence and it is audio recording to corroborate his claims. that before the house intelligence committee earlier this year said that he did not testify this there that trump had advance knowledge. cohen's claims were not menti mentioned on effort reports. i should note that we reached out to the lawyers for a number of those involved in the story. donald trump jr.'s lawyer, he told cnn that donald trump jr. has been professional and responsible through the the mueller investigation. we are confident of the accuracy and the information that was relied on mr. trump jr. and on his behalf. he declined to comment. you remember this on chris cuo o cuomo's show. he attacked cohen's credibility. >> right, that he's been lying all week and for years. >> jack, if this coalition is truth, was there a crime committee? >> well, if this can be demonstrated or come rated.

although donald trump jr. have a problem because he under oath to congressional committee said he did not discuss this with his father in advance. so if michael cohen is telling the truth, donald trump jr. may have a problem. but it's also important to remember why this issue is important. this isn't just some random meeting. this is a meeting between the representatives of the russian government giving dirt, so the trump campaign thought, to the leaderses of the trump campaign. so every time the president says there was no collusion, i had nothing to do with any russians, this meeting, if in fact he knew about it at the time, shows that all of those statements, every time he said no collusion, is a lie. so it's not just sort of a random lie about the size of the inauguration crowd. it's lying about his involvement with the russian government in the campaign. >> and carl, if a meeting was squeaky clean with nothing improper, why have there been so many iterations to, you know, to who is there, who knew about i

donald trump jr.'s attorney issuing a new statement, expressing confidence in his client's denials under oath his father had advanced warning. this as the president and his lawyer are escalating attacks on mr. trump's former fix errandere man putting the pieces together, special counsel robert mueller. our correspondents and analysts are standing by. first, let's go to the chief white house correspondent jim acosta. new attacks, a lot of deflection and denials from the trump team. >> reporter: wolf s, it seemed like a fog of confusion. they're ramping up attacks on robert mueller at a critical time in the investigation. one of the president's outside attorneys rudy guiliani is moving the goalpost for the probe, making the assertion colluding with the russians isn't even a crime, an odd line of attack as the president repeatedly said he is not guilty of collusion. >> mr. president, mr. president, do you think other -- >> reporter: as his aides were nearly screaming in the ears of reporters asking questi

jr play that him out put him out in a golf. cart you know all those sort of point and then jr. next victim of it carried him to the side of little river and they rode a lot of that way you'll probably see the drown. if you don't. drown first the next mark great shoes and one great attitude to. luck or a shot in the back to get. your daughter voluntarily banned for happened out here where everybody worked their regard for that effect brick. road where the body was found. to have walked the walk all the motorcycle over. to the front which are done by both. there are got first. he pulls the trigger or. body after body and i am always on my. bike upright. myself. so. using any of that it kills for. our what talk about the back of a car anything like that or when i was away from home or i don't know what i was driving around pregnant they all had a loaded gun. or. there was armed. margrave's on. the. car with. to flee susan. or. lead to the spread it was. well known no. point to go you're sure that. on. the like a revolver it was a two too short. and were twenty two short way so tha

why is it that don jr. was there. why is i conversation because i'm take one. >> is it that he doesn't want to take one or doesn't have enough on the president? >> i think that -- well, it could be both. like i said before, i've had plenty of clients who have taken plea deals that swore they weren't guilty. apparently, he hasn't come to the amount of money it's taking to defend himself or to the pressure to lie or simply maybe he's just saying he doesn't have anything to do with it and he's going to toughen up and i would try and bring in as much information that it is the, quote, be unquote, witch hunt, and my client is being offered up because of the polarization of the politics. >> but that's not really going to fly in a court of law. let's talk about who has accepted a plea deal. rick gates, george papadopoulos, mike flynn, the attorney, former trump adviser to rick gates. that, again, what kardashian karen just brought up is the pr strategy. is that going to flow in a court of law here as manafort's defense? >> t

this is a problem for don jr. he has testified to the nsenate committee four times that he did not tell his father about the meeting. that's a perjury problem. i took note this giuliani placed rick gates at those meetings. his name came up in the conversation. why is that important? because rick gates is already a cooperating witness with the mueller investigation. he pled guilty to charges in early february. if he can corroborate what cohen says you have two people against the multiple denials that team trump is giving, that is a huge problem for don jr. >> when i see a problem, i mean the way giuliani framed this today. i have tremendous admiration. i think he was the best mayor in american history. >> do you think's doing his client any favors? >> i don't know what he's doing. he had me thoroughly confused. when he was talking about collusion, is it a crime or not, he was almost like a law professor. but that's not where we are in the realm of theoretical law. this is about a political kangaroo court that the s

when donald trump jr. informed trump of the russian offer and that trump gave the go ahead to have the meeting. the bombshell claim directly contradicts what trump junior told congressional investigators last year. asked by the senate judiciary committee, did you inform your father about the meeting or the underlying offer prior to the meeting, trump junior responded, no, i did not. he also said he did not know the identity of the person he called three times before and after that meeting. and whose number was blocked. and whether that person was his father. the news also calls into question cohen's own testimony before congress and his past public statements. a source tells cnn that cohen did not tell the house intelligence committee last year that trump had advance knowledge of the meeting. after trump junior said he did not tell his father about the meeting -- >> there was nothing to tell. >> reporter: -- cohen tweeted, so brought of donald trump jr. for being open, honest and transparent to the america

the morning after don jr.'s denials on fox news, the president's lawyer, jay sekulow, told cnn this -- >> the president was not aware of the meeting, did not attend the meeting, and was only made aware of the e-mails very recently by counsel. i wasn't involved in the statement drafting at all, nors what the president. >> reporter: a week later, a strong denial from the president himself, during this taped interview with "the new york times." >> did you know at the time? >> no, i didn't. >> but you didn't -- >> it must have been a very unimportant meeting because i never even heard about it. >> no one told you a word, nothing? >> it's a very unimportant -- sounded like a very unimportant -- >> reporter: if that's true and the president didn't know anything about it as he says, how does he explain what happened next? "the washington post" reported last july that the president himself decided to say the meeting was about adoption. and dictated the misleading statement don jr. gave "the new york times." the paper s

trump jr.'s own e-mails show that he knew the lawyer was offering damaging intelligence on hillary clinton and responded "i love it." mueller's team is looking to the sit down as part of the investigation into russian election interference and whether members of the trump team colluded with moscow. president trump said there was no collusion. he denied knowing about the trump tower meeting ahead of time. today he tweeted i didn't know of the meeting with any son, don jr. sounds like someone is trying to make up stories to get himself out of an unrelated jam. taxi cab money, maybe i should say. he said he retailed crooked hillary's lawyer. gee, i wonder if they helped him make the choice. taxi cabs is a reference to one of cohen's business that the feds are apparently investigating. cohen's attorney released a secret recording of cohen and president trump discussing a possible payment involving a playmate's claim of an affair with the president. the president denies there was an affair and the la

explain how that works. >> what the email to don jr.d it is how the russian government hopes to aid your father. that was in the email. if that email had gone to barack obama or hillary clinton the same people in congress who spent 3 years investigating who wrote the talking points would have hearing after hearing. congress needs to do its job and have a hearing. >> tucker: we know the russian government aided the clinton campaign by giving false information to christopher steele. >> we don't know that. >> tucker: they testified before congress that he did. >> christopher steele was paid to get information. >> tucker: from the russians. where do you think it came from? >> from where were he could get it from. he was not given direction -- >> tucker: we don't know that. hold on. you don't know that. we know for a fact he got -- >> overlight overweight. -- [overlapping talking]. >> tucker: that's not a big deal? this is a farce. i am sick of playing along with it. if there is perjury indict and see if you can convict. stop pretending that

what donald trump jr. has said is that he has told the truth to whole time. his dad was not at the meeting and he didn't tell him about meeting afterwards. trump said he didn't find out until before it break last summer. this is information you believe. upg it's all true. you've worked in this town long enough. if someone's told somebody on capitol hill, we'd know it. we'd know it five minutes after it happened. so yeah, i believe it. actually happened the way don jr. said it happened. if they did get help, no big deal. people close to president trump and team trump are now seem tog acknowledge that maybe he was told after the fact despite the fact president trump said the opposite. i want you to listen to sound from anthony scaramucci and sam nunburg. >> could he have known after the fact? i think possible. >> i would be surprised when you have paul manafort, jared kushner and don jr. in this meeting if the president was made aware about it sometime after tfact if not before. >> do you think they are also kind of moving the goal post and preparing people for

and what we established was that donald trump jr. often relayed to his father the most minute information that was coming from the campaign. so, again, to suggest that he wouldn't bring to his father something as powerful as the russians seeking to help his campaign and hurt his opponent, it's just -- it doesn't add up. >> yeah. congressman swalwell, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >>> more now on the many legal implications for the president, his son, and michael cohen. joining us are carrie cordero and asha rangappa. carrie, the president has never been under oath about this. so i mean if michael cohen not only tells this to robert mueller but also has people who can corroborate it, legally speaking is there any risk for the president? >> well, there's risk in terms of the broader russia investigation. so a lot of times we talk about collusion. >> right. >> but what that really means if we want to translate it into the legal framework is conspiracy. and it's very clear that the mueller investigation is conducting a b

donald trump jr. formally accepted that meeting, candidate trump touted a big upcoming speech about hillary clinton. >> i am going to give a major speech on probably monday of next week and we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the clintons. i think you're going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. >> candidate trump did not make that monday speech. as trump now repeated his denials about any advanced knowledge of the meeting, it's critical to note this is a meeting that team trump already lied about. his own lawyers up and admitting to mueller trump dictated that misleading statement about the meeting originally. first they lied about what happened in the meeting, then they lied about trump's defense of the meeting which he was choosing to offer even though he also claimed he didn't know anything about the meeting. now the question is whether trump lied about the worst possible thing, not the pr afterward, but whether donald trump took actions or

the morning after don jr.'denials on forks n fox news, jaw told cnn this. >> the president was not aware of the meeting, did not attend the meet, and wing, and was onla waiver the ech aware of the e-mails recently. >> reporter: and then a strong denial by the president himself during this interview. >> did you know at the time that they had the meeting? >> no, i didn't know anything about the meeting. but it must have been a very unimportant meeting because i never heard about it. >> no one told you a word? >> no, it was a very -- sounded like a very unimportant meeting. >> reporter: if that is true, how does he explain what happened next? the "washington post" reported last july that the president himself decided to say the meeting was about adoption and dictated the misleading statement don jr. gave the "new york times." the paper said the dictated the statement aboard air force one the day the story first broke on his way back to washington from the g-20 summit in germany. and then in january this year, the
