CNN's Erin Burnett spoke with GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher about President Trump team's undisclosed meetings with alleged Russian intelligence officers.



"You're putting sinister words out there to make it seem sinister, to make it sound like something sinister has happened. Somebody meets somebody in passing, that is considered a meeting. Attorney General Sessions didn't remember that he had a third conversation with this man instead of two. How sinister is that? Come on. This is so much ado about nothing," the California Republican said.



"How many meetings did the Democrats have?" he followed up. "How many meetings did Hillary Clinton and her people have, especially trying to set up these types of contributions to the Clinton Foundation, and the speeches her husband was receiving money for."



"Half of what you're talking about is from when he was running for president, but you don't know about Hillary... millions of dollars from Russian oligarchs. Instead, you're trying to make it sound as if Attorney General Sessions is doing something sinister because he forgot he had one extra conversation with the Russian ambassador -- who is supposed to have all kinds of meetings with people."



"What I'm asking you is if it wasn't sinister, why didn't they tell us about it?" Burnett wondered.



"He had three of them, over a long period of time," Rohrabacher said about Attorney General Jeff Sessions meeting with Russians. "You're trying to make it look sinister that he only remembered two of them. Come on! Get real. This is no news."



"We don't know if it was sinister or not ... all we know is that there was a failure to disclose meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting," Burnett said.
