A lawyer from President Trump Donald John TrumpUS reimposes UN sanctions on Iran amid increasing tensions Jeff Flake: Republicans 'should hold the same position' on SCOTUS vacancy as 2016 Trump supporters chant 'Fill that seat' at North Carolina rally MORE's legal team said there was no illegality in Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting last year with a Russian lawyer who had offered compromising information on Hillary Clinton.

"There's no illegality in the meeting," Jay Sekulow said late Tuesday on Fox News. "Now, the fact is, nothing transpired."

Sekulow also said there is a "media frenzy" on Russia.

"This has been going on for several months. But when you look to see what actually takes place. A meeting takes place. Nothing happens as a result of this 15- or 20-minute meeting," he said.

"And at the end of the day, there's no illegality."

During an interview Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show, Sekulow was also pressed about whether Trump Jr. had lied about the meeting.

"No, he did not," Sekulow said.

His comments come after Trump Jr. on Tuesday released a chain of emails detailing his conversations about setting up a meeting with the Russian lawyer.

His release of the emails came after a report in The New York Times that said Trump Jr. was told before the meeting with the Russian lawyer that the damaging information on Clinton was part of a Russian government effort to help his father's presidential campaign.
