dickerson: welcome back to "face the nation." joining us now is jay sekulow, on the president's legal team. he's also chief counsel at the american center for law and justice. mr the president said he didn't know about it. are you confident that the president knows everything about all the meetings his son may or may not have had with any russian? >> well, i know this -- the president was not aware about this meeting, did not participate in this meeting. as far as other meetings go, look, the president has said he wasn't aware of it, wasn't involved in it, and there's been no indication otherwise. so when you say "other meetings that took place," i'm sure they had conversations during the course of a campaign about meetings that were relevant to some kind of determination, but this one was not. most meetings were discussed with the president. that's normally how these go. the president was campaigning. his staff was having meetings, and the president was not made aware of this, nor participated in this meeting. >> dickerson: is it possible, fair to say, that the president knows of no other meetings with his campaign staff and russia? >> obviously the president

mr. trump fully and japan intend to take further action on this issue. meg? >> mola lenghi in washington. thank you. >>> kelly is expected to expert his authority from the get-go. cbs news chief correspondent john dickerson explains. >> one is limiting the number of people who have access to the president. you do that because the more people who have access, the more it upends the plans the executive branch have put in place. so you need to be a gate keeper. on the other hand is telling the presidenting no, or convincing the president to do things he doesn't want to do. if general kelly or secretary kelly can do those things, then the white house will be back on path in terms of helping the president's agenda. if not, there may be more chaos. >> what remains to be seen is how much authority kelly is granted to try to control the agenda. that often gets preempted by feuding staff members. general kelly will also have the deal with deteriorating relations with russia which retaliated over the new sanctions by congress. the state department called that move a regrettable and uncalled for act. the white house said the president will sign the legislation which seeks to punish moscow for meddling in the 2016 e
