by Josh Feldman | 9:28 am, July 16th, 2017
CNNs Jake Tapper faced off again with Jay Sekulow, a member of President Trumps legal team, over Donald Trump Jr.s meeting with the Russian lawyer, even calling him out at one point for changing the subject.
Tapper pressed Sekulow on whether, aside from the legal question, Trump Jr.s meeting was just wrong. Sekulow didnt comment on that and brought up the question of whether there was collusion between Ukraine and the Democrats.
Tapper said that hed be happy to discuss it when theres an investigation into the matter, but thats not whats going on right now. Sekulow remarked upon the fact that there isnt an investigation going on as particularly noteworthy.
When he brought it up again a few minutes later, Tapper said I know you want to change the subject and asked him, What other meetings or communications with Russians have not been disclosed yet?
Sekulow responded, None that I know of, but I represent the President of the United States.

What is the point of having him on?
