‘Of course’ Trump Jr. and Roger Stone told him: MSNBC panel disputes Trump’s sworn answers to Robert Mueller

Two former prosecutors -- one who prosecuted Watergate and another currently serving in Congress -- disputed two key claims President Donald Trump reportedly made in his written answers to special prosecutor Robert Mueller.

"President Donald Trump told special counsel Robert Mueller in writing that Roger Stone did not tell him about WikiLeaks, nor was he told about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between his son, campaign officials and a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton," CNN reported Wednesday.

The answers were submitted under penalty of perjury.

Those reported claims were disputed by former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) on MSNBC's "Hardball."

Wine-Banks focused on the evidence Mueller has assembled against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

"Manafort is accused of lying. That means that Mueller has really direct, hardcore evidence that is opposite of whatever he said," Wine-Banks explained. "So to the extent there was coordination in the answers between what the written answers from the president are and what Manafort said, it means that the prosecution can prove that both are lies -- he can prove it without any testimony."

"I never used feminine intuition before, but from the day I heard about that meeting, there is no way that his son -- who sought his approval -- did not tell his father about that meeting," Wine-Banks continued. "He would have gone bragging to him saying, 'I've just got something really good to help you.'"

"I think that's human intuition, by the way, I share it completely," host Chris Matthews agreed.

Matthews then imitated Donald Trump, Jr. saying, "Guess what, I got dirt on Hillary, you might win this after all."

The other reported answer to Mueller was also cast into doubt.

"They colluded and they conspired to try and cover it up," Rep. Swalwell said.

"Roger Stone is a dirty trickster, there's no reason to believe he would change his ways when his best pal is running for president and he has information -- that this is about to come -- that he wouldn't have told Donald Trump," Swalwell continued.

"The same intuition that Jill Wine-Banks had about Don, Jr. telling his father is the same intuition that I and others have that Roger Stone, of course, would have told the candidate that he's got the goods," he concluded.
