"the post" reports officials in at least four countries -- the united arab emirates, china, israel and mexico -- had discussed ways to manipulate kushner by taking advantage of his business ties, his financial problems, as well as his lack of foreign policy experience. kushner is tasked with overseeing the middle east peace process, in addition to an array of other high-profile responsibilities, including u.s.-china relations. the outgoing head of the nsa, michael rogers, says the trump administration has not directed him to try to counter russian election meddling. this is rogers answering questions by rhode island senator jack reed. mission teams, particularly at the origin of these attacks, have the authority to do so. >> if greater the authority, and i don't have the day-to-day authority, if greater the authority. >> said you would be needed be directed by the president or the secretary of defense? >> yes, i mention that. >> have you been directed to do so giv the strategic consequences you recognize already? >> know, i have not. amy: that was nsa head michael rogers, testifying be

us intelligence authorities have picked up conversations in china, mexico, the uae and israel that show officials there think they can manipulate the 37—year—old political novice. the post report was written by shane harris their national security correspondent. i spoke to him earlier. speu spell out this story for us, according to your reporting us intelligence has overheard or somehow got information that some of america's allies are looking at jared kushner and thinking he's got vulnerabilities? the vulnerabilities the countries see our that he has a lack of experience in government and foreign policy so i naivete as one white house press and it to us. as well as his own complex business history and particularly financial issues he has in the form of large debt on a property in new york city that the company, his family real estate com pa ny owns. that the company, his family real estate company owns. there is about a $1.2 billion debt on that company which comes due and we understand people are looking that is leveraged they may able to use. we don't know precisely what these pe

palestinian officials are urging international diplomats to push israel to drop a plan that would impose taxes on church properties in the holy city. chief palestinian negotiator said palestinian authority president voiced concerns during a meeting with european union representatives. against -- the israeli government orders to apply property taxes on the charges and property of churches. that is absolutely unacceptable. benjamin netanyahu says a team is being set up to negotiate with church officials to reach a resolution. government has eased capital controls put in place turned the summer of 2015 at the height of the countries financial troubles. the finance ministry says it is raising the amount that account holders can withdraw each month and is allowing greeks to open new bank accounts without restrictions. bailout monitors are in advance for final review before the third bailout program and's in august -- ends in august. global news, 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2,700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. david: dick's

washington post" had a major story saying that at least, at least four countries, they named china, israel, mexico, and the united arab emirates, have privately discussed ways to manipulate jared kushner because of leverage they may have to their advantage over him. this is an extremely serious potential matter. >> well, it is a serious matter. and you know, these stories, we've done them, the post has done them, about questions about jared's conversations potentially mixing his business with his work during the transition are probably a large part of the reason that he's not been able to secure the security clearance that he wants. i mean, we don't know whether this information came from intercepts of these conversations. we also know that diplomats tend to brag to each other about how much influence they have over high-ranking people in the united states government. and we know that that occurred with michael flynn, for example, where russians were bragging about their relationship with flynn. but again, you have to put one and one together and come up with two here. you have to say, loo

israel itself. it's unclear who they're getting this from. it may be another fake news stories. >> it's unclear what they're staying. >> what "the post" says there were certain individuals in those governments trying to figure out ways they could leverage their own desires with regard to jared's business concerns. >> that's real news, because i think they probably try to get away with whatever they can. >> doesn't that bring to mind the clinton foundation? the exact same countries on that list were doing, donating tens of millions of dollars. >> the clinton administration, they did give money to these foreign governments. >> i want to go, if we can, and just pull up a quote from jared kushner's attorneys. he says, no concerns were raised about mr. kushner's application. as general kelly himself said, the new clearance policy will not affect mr. kushner's ability to do the very important work he's been assigned by the president. >> it's interesting, because the state department made a similar statement, saying i can't see change on the importa

during his visit with the russians when they came to the oval office as it related to a mission about israel back at the time? the bottom line is, we wouldn't know. i asked ivanka about this specifically. she said it's white house policy not to talk about it. she said she would stick to that. >> of course, ivanka also has an interim clearance as far as we know. caroline, it's your reporting that jared kushner did not report to the white house as he should all of the contacts with foreign leaders. obviously, they were overheard, because they are carefully shadowed, these foreign diplomats were heard talking about him and how they could manipulate him. fill in the gaps there. >> that's right. sometimes people get these two things confused. jared kushner had a responsibility when he came into the administration, even though he was the president's son-in-law, to disclose hir foreign contacts before taking the job. in this instance, he appeared to be having solo meetings with foreign officials during transition and in the early days of the administration without letting the national security team

those countries include mexico, israel, and the united arab emirates and china. the white house line, family first. >> he has full confidence in jared kushner's ability to do his job, to address the issues of israel-palestinian peace, to also address the issue of u.s.-mexico relations. he's doing a great job on behalf of the president, and he's going to continue in his role. >> it is remarkable, and let's be fair to mr. kushner, there is zero evidence on the table that he's done anything wrong. but that officials in other countries are getting caught in captured conversations and other intelligence gathering saying, wait a minute, this guy's family business has a problem. is there some way, as we do business with him, we can leverage that? that's the idea? >> yeah, the concern is vulnerability. the concern isn't actually, oh, you did something wrong that you should have been dragged into court for years ago and the fbi just happens to find it. you don't get the clearance if there are reasons you might be compromised. several countries have varying relationships w

those nations are united, china, israel and mexico. that's according to financials familiar with the reports on this matter. officials say that h.r. mcmaster learned that kushner had contacts he did not coordinate. or officials talking about they're meetings with kushner and per sepgs of his vulnerabilities was raised in the reporting briefings. she's shane harris, take a listen. >> when he came into his job he was discovered that kushner was having his own discussions with officials and not reporting that through normal channels of people in the white house. what we're learning now that contact with foreign officials he was having, the conversations that i'm describing, the ones that mcmaster doesn't know about, there's something in those conversations and actions that become a major impediment to him. >> that's shane harris from "the washington post" about that clearance down graded from disturb ner. he had no longer to access security information according to most sources citing the white house memo. wouldn't be able to go to many o
