he hadn't been pressed about his role in the meetings both in the seychelles. we wanted to get him in the record talking publicly about it because he's not comfortable talking about it. you saw his body language. what is absurd he had all of this time to think about a defense and came up with they got the transcript wrong. come on. >> what's also striking is just how weird this meeting is. sit back for a second. that's what i was really glad -- it's august. trump is a nominee. you're meeting with the candidate's son at trump tower with this very sketchy dude george nater who is a become channel and been convicted of child molestation with this israeli sort of social media guru dude. what do we know what that meeting was all about? >> what is interesting is i didn't get around to asking him. he volunteered that it was about iran policy thinking that that would be some sort of good answer. that makes everything much worse for him because that's a pretty consequential issue. why is steven miller ask donald trump junior were experts on the middle east national secu

>> talk about seychelles in a moment. your thoughts quickly, jill.ou add aim schiff on the interview with eric prince watch. >> also asked about substantive policy conversations he might have had. so his interview looks inconsistent with his testimony. bob mueller has that testimony already. and bob mueller will have to make the decision whether that rises to the level of deliberate falsehood. >> jill, is eric prince in legal trouble here? if you think bob mueller has seen both the interviewer who says one thing and what he has told adam schiff, now coming out saying point blank he did not disclose this in congressional testimony? do you think mueller would be interested in it? >> ayman, the interview on him was brilliant. caught cold lying and saying at the end, well, maybe the transcript is wrong is a ridiculous defense. now that mueller has it, which is the only way he could look at whether there is perjury is by having the official transcript. we'll see whether he thinks it rises to that level, but, again, all of your guests have said, why so man

well tourism is also the economic live blood of the seychelles but the roughly one hundred islands off the east coast of africa have an increasing problem with plastic waste the beach is increasingly spoiled by pollution now the island nations ministry of environment has banned imports of single use plastic straws into the country and a total ban is set to follow in june. gorgeous beaches and plastic waste even though it's not immediately obvious. where it's headed in the bushes for one a lot gets caught up here when the tide goes out the young lawyer who funded the ocean project to fight back against the plastic onslaught. it got to the point where every time with good to be carried i could bring bin bags over the bags with dance and would end up leaving with full bags and so it was just that frustration of this seeing so much later. zara organizers regular beach cleaning sweeps especially after a beach party at times the team can recover as much as two hundred kilograms of plastic rubbish and just on our. shelves survives on tourism and that generates crush this hotel is trying hard

seychelles.ra and he was asked about some testimony to your committee and about whether he lied or not. take a listen. >> we're there to talk about iran policy. >> there to talk about iran policy? isn't that important to disclose to the house committee under oath? >> i did. >> there's no mention of the trump tower meeting in 2016. why not? >> i don't know if they got the transcript wrong. >> so, this was about another meeting that erik prince had, i believe with some other representatives of other countries, in trump tower, the second so-called trump tower meeting, not with russians but with other foreign countries. based on what you heard there, is mr. prince fetelling the tru? >> he's not telling the truth on that interview. there is something wrong with our transcript. there was nothing wrong with the reporter who transcribed his testimony. he did not disclose that meeting to our committee. and as you can see from the published transcript of his interview, he was asked what kind of role he pla

he has said that meeting in the seychelle islands between him and the russian investment fund guy, that not an important one at that. he said it had nothing to do with the trump campaign or the trump administration at all. but if that same russian investment fund guy who met with erik prince, if that same guy was not just in contact with erik prince, but he was also in contact with the incoming trump national security adviser mike flynn, well, first, that would be something new we never heard about before concerning an alleged high-level contact between the trump campaign and the kremlin. but also, it would make it much harder to believe that that meeting in the seychelles was just some random erik prince business meeting that had nothing to do with trump or the campaign. so we've been trying to track this down, because this is a new assertion. there is an assertion in court filings from bijan kian that flynn was in contact with this russian investment fund guy named kuril dmitriev after the election. in the context of the way this has come in what beeian kian's defense lawyers are actu

do you remember that weird meeting in the seychelles islands with eric prince? do you remember that. "the washington post" broke that meeting just a few weeks after trump was inaugurated. the story they broke was during the transition there had been a secret meeting in the seychelles islands between eric brings, the founder of blackwater, the brother of education secretary betsy devos. a meeting between him and a russian guy close to the vladimir putin who is the head of a russian state-controlled investment fund. a guy named carol dmeet rev. they described that meeting as part of an apparent effort to establish a back channel line of communication between moscow and president-elect donald trump. now, eric prince publicly contradicted that, right? he gave denials in which he said, yeah, he took that meeting, but it was just him being a private businessman. his presence there and his taking that meeting had absolutely nothing to do with the incoming trump administration at all. he told the house intelligence committee under oath this was just a chance encounter o

so you flew halfway around the world to a secret meeting in the seychelles to have one beer with. i was there to see the american leadership that's not what george nader seems to be telling the mother folks right now that worry you the native country that your former colleague i think it's amazing for you to try to view into the miller testimony that it's my impression to i mean ok that's that's what that's what's being reported ok. i want to bring in you mentioned iran interesting enough to bring in very briefly before we move on and i know the audience are waiting ghaith abdul-ahad is an award winning guardian journalist from iraq you've covered conflicts across the middle east when you hear about the amorality s. and trump and the saudis and the israelis what is that all about i mean it mentioned iran is this all about iran i mean of course we're living kind of people say it's a cold war it's not a cold war game or between their morality so does the israelis and the iranians on the other side and what the monarchies are doing for example in yemen and i think you work with the i

another discussion that took place in the context of the meeting that he had in the seychelles. there have been persistent questions about whether the uae was playing a back channel role to the russians during the campaign. and those were a lot of the questions that we were asking him about. clearly, this meeting at trump tower with these players, was of direct interest to our committee. so, why conceal it? why withhold that information if there was nothing improper, no improper purpose in it? there are a lot of deeply concerning and unanswered questions surrounding erik prince and his involvement with the campaign. >> all right. adam schiff, i will leave it there. the democratic lead on the house intelligence committee, the chairman. thanks very much for coming on, getting up early and sharing your views with us this morning. >> thank you. >>> when we come back, the state the democrats have on their minds for 2020. could it be the game changer that gets them over 270? we humans are strange creatures. other species avoid pain and struggle. we actually... seek it out. other speci

meeting, the meeting he happened to fly to the seychelles and happened to also meet with a key russian operative, representative or oligarch who is also -- just for a beer, he said. he misstating according to adam schiff his testimony to the house intelligence committee saying the transcript was wrong. matt miller, we've got a whole lot of collusion to look into. >> that was an innovative excuse that the transcript was wrong. i think that point, the fact there are other potential defendants out there, erik prince is one. there are employees of the trump organization have liabilities in the separate investigation, why this question of pardon for paul manafort is so important. if the president were to issue a pardon for manafort, it will, number one, be a reward for lies to investigators, before he pled guilty and more importantly his lies to investigators about that meeting where he shared polling data with kilimnick after he cooperated, still lied about it. it would be a reward for those lies. number two, it would be a signal to everyone else in the president's orbit, if you just happe

at trump tower at all he's also been very cagey and not very truthful about the meeting in the seychelles so i think there's a lot to i'm packing for the special counsel with what erik prince his role was after all we know there may well have been other meetings and other events other conversations he may have had he only admits to them when he's caught flat out so i think that the special counsel is likely to have looked at eric prince and it's also possible that adam schiff in the house intelligence committee could refer this matter to d.o.j. for prosecution themselves when somebody lies to congress that is frequently something that congress itself looks askance on and asks the department of justice or makes your referral for prosecution there are reports that u.s. president donald trump is set to ask congress for an additional eight point six billion dollars to help pay for the wool he promised to build on the border with mexico trump will make the request when he delivers his first budget ride map on monday the demand is three billion more than he previously asked for and more than si

behind the public face so we all know the public face because we watch it on television or on the seychelles and watch people get very poised interviews but we don't really know what they're doing on the scenes we suspect we have you know hear rumors we don't really know and i try and show those scenes that we sort of think we know as we go. much worse i mean everyone. always wants to say that donald trump is the celebrity. brought into the white house double trump beats media doesn't he he's the master of the media at the moment because all of the the television and broadcast as a clamoring to keep up with him i don't think c.n.n. would be in business if it hadn't been for donald trump been in power so you know they just would not exist and he's bad news and traditional media is all about all bad news outrage and trance giving all of the networks cables broadcasters that excuse to be back in business very helpful that celebrity element that you've tried to mythologize in covering up real news the boards are really happening there so seduced into just watching what's put in front of us and w

asked for all they're saying it's to be dropped north korea is now say they don't want want all the seychelles to be dropped they're talking about sanctions mostly that were put up by the u.n. between two thousand and sixteen two thousand and seventeen that are hampering according to them the ability for further on for decades but we're talking about say actions around two thousand and seventeen so what what the current north koreans have said is that they're willing to dismantle their your radio production they young beyond complex for exchange of dropping these sanctions now these sanctions unlike the ones that started decades before were about weapons and such this war that's also hurt the economy but it was like stopping oil flow into the country north korea doesn't have much oil itself has to import most of its energy in oil also we're talking about exports of textiles that's a massive part of the north korean industry they're not allowed to export test textiles and also in a smaller facet their foreign workers there tens of thousands of foreign workers working around the globe saudi arab

at trump tower at all he's also been very cagey and not very truthful about the meeting in the seychelles so i think there's a lot to unpack after the special counsel with what erik prince his role was after all we know there may well have been other meetings and other events other conversations he may have had he only admits to them when he's caught flat out so i think that the special counsel is likely to have looked at eric prince and it's also possible that adam schiff in the house intelligence committee could refer this matter to d.o.j. for prosecution themselves when somebody lies to congress that is frequently something that congress itself looks askance on and asks the department of justice for a mixture of her and her prosecution. you mention that prince has already been questioned by special counsel robert lerner as part of the ongoing investigation into alleged collusion with russia now that we have well more information from prince himself about meetings which took place what questions could put could possibly arise for what what else might possibly pursues a result of this. w

erik prince who's implicated in trying to set up this back channel in this obscure meeting in the seychelles, should we expect these are people that will come before the committee or be compelled to do so at some point? we want to talk to all these individuals at some point. we certainly want their documents. some individuals we'd like before a public hearing. some we can just interview with members of our staff. i'm glad you mentioned hope hicks. let's give an example of hope hicks. she lied to the american people, basically saying repeatedly that trump had nothing to do with russia and his associates, no meetings with russia. it turns out that was just a lie. we want to know, well, did donald trump tell her to lie? what does she know about what happened? what kind of orders was she given or did he just make this stuff up at the time. so that's why we have all these individuals that we want to talk to, because we want to connect the dots and really put out a narrative as to what happened, why it happened, how to prevent this from happening again. >> congressman ted lieu, thank you for takin

we have the seychelles meeting, we have the meetings with kislyak, and we have the president doing high-fives after he fires comey, these are undeniable questions. and when people like on fox make fun of oh, what's obstruction of justice, obstruction of justice is an abuse of power. it is consciousness of guilt. and whose guilt is it about? is he protecting manafort? is he protecting flynn? no. he is protecting himself. he is protecting what he did. and we see at every stage, we have the most immoral president perhaps in american history, particularly because of the foreign influence of russia that has compromised our ability to sanction russia, it's compromised our international trade, it's compromised our alliance with europe. this is perhaps the darkest hour. now, some of us are going to be terribly disappointed if mueller doesn't find something. but it's hard to believe that a prosecutor of mueller's testing and experience would come to the end of this and not have something to say about these terrible offenses. not be imaginative enough to find a way to pin the tail on the donkey, the fe

to see in this report if it's made public for example there was this very unusual meeting in the seychelles island between air prince george nader a russian oligarch the crown prince of the u.a.e. and that they met so what exactly happened there so we're going to still again this is not over if congress can get their hands on all of these different interviews all of these records i mean this is an enormous amount of information that robert mueller has gathered they can come to different conclusions but for now the mall reported least at first reading it appears that this is in fact some vindication for president donald trump because he will obviously be discussing the details of this over the next few hours for the moment in washington thank you let's go to gabriel is on the he's in palm beach florida not far from the president's mar a lago resort where donald trump has been for the past few days any reaction from trump himself because he had been uncharacteristically quiet on twitter had any. he had been and there is no reaction from the president this news of course just coming in right n
