Reporter: Tonight, the president’s son and son-in-law both face new scrutiny, as British publicist rob goldstone is finally breaking his silence about that infamous trump tower meeting with a Russian lawyer. It was goldstone who e-mailed Donald Trump Jr. About “Dirt” on Hillary Clinton from the Kremlin. “If it’s what you say, I love it,” don Jr. Wrote back at the time.
