new york times" if the president violates there will be no limit on his power. >> i haven't red that op-ed. i will say this, don, clearly the president has this power. the presidential pardon power is verythout even through his first full year yet, the fact he's using it on what is a contempt conviction. this is not someone that's been langsuishing in prison for years. he was not going to serve jail time and yet president trump took the time out to pardon him for something to the federal court was contempt. and you have the president nal signaling, hey, i'm going to use my pardon power. i'm going to take it out and see how people react to it. and if there's not enough push back on it, he may wind up pardoning other people who have cleary flaunted the law. >> clearly he has the authority to do so. >> can we get to break here? we'll be right back. it's the sears semi-annual blowout event! save 10 to 70% off on all clothing and shoes. and up to 70% off on outdoor life for him and simply styled for her! plus hot deals on jeans for kids, starting at 8.99. hurry - sale ends september 4th. you're searching for something. whoooo. like the perfect deal... ...on the perfect hotel. so wouldn't it

misleading statement, the very first one he are released about what happened during this now infamous trump tower meeting with a russian lawyer. don junior's initial statement to "the new yorkrimarily discussed a program about the adoption of russian children that was active and popular with american families years ago and was since ended by the russian government. but it was not a campaign issue at the time and there was no follow-up." well, obviously, that was, at best, completely misleading and not truthful. why? because don junior's own e-mails showed that he went to the meeting for information that could damage hillary clinton and thus help his father's campaign, information sold to him as coming from the russian government. let's begin with one of the reporters who broke this story from "the washington post" today, she is carol lining. thank you so much for being with me. a lot of takeaways. first, it seems to me, from your piece, that all parties involved in that trump tower meeting were ready to be transparent with the press once the word was starting to leak out that this was about to be made public. everyone with the exception of the president. >> well, what we do

when the new york times reached out to the white house to seek some information about this meeting following up on their tip and their very fine reporting. so the president dent at the time that don jr statement went out, knew about the meeting, but as the white house said, he only learn bed it in the last couple of days. >> so i guess the final question is, did he know this was not truthful? that's the key element. what did the president know and how much was he affirmatively choosing to be as aggressively misleading as that statement ended up being. >> i don't know how fully he may have been briefed on the contents of those e-mails or what exactly was communicated to donald trump jr. i do know that president decided this would be the strategy he recommended which was to offer this misleading statement that did not contain the full information. >> this puts a lot of things at a very, very new light to me that this sort of, the fact you have the president explicitly involved in this is a really >> i don't know how fully he may have been briefed on the contents of those e-mails or what exactly was communicated to donald trump jr. i do know that president decided this would be the

new york times" when this was first reported, we refer all questions to don junior about this meeting. and so they weren't actually fully transparent about until after it already broke and so it's a very convenient press strategy to say that's what we wanted to do. >> that may be. >> but if you're bob mueller. gloria's right, it's not illegal to give a misstatement to the press or to we, the people. but if you're bbl bob mueller, special counsel, what are you sniffing around for. >> these are statements that were made to congress by jared kushner. >> do we know that. >> do you think that he made some different statement than was out there in the public? we saw the public statement provided to the committee. it's basically the same surgical story that donald trump put together. the same story that donald junior, i'm sure, gave or is going to give in testimony. all of that can be charged as perjury. what they didn't count on was the fact that they don't know all the facts. donald trump doesn't have all of the e-mails. he doesn't know all of the evidence that can be gathered here. and surely, but slowly, just like it did with those june -- that june 4 e-mails, we're leading up to the jun
