i spoke with the attorney to jared kushner. he has been questioned a second time by investigators for the special counsel robert mueller. lowell also confirmed that kushner finally has been granted his full security clearance. let's bring in our political and legal specialists and gloria borger, you've been doing reporting on this. what stood out to you from the questions and answers from abbe lowell. >> i thought abbe was candid about the areas that jared kushner was questioned about in april for seven hours. and we've always known because jared was present at so many events, it is likely he would have been questioned about the campaign itself and ties to russia and his russian contacts during the transition and of course this question of obstruction and the firing of james comey because jared kushner was in new jersey that weekend that the president decided to fire comey. kushner people say that he's supported the decision but he did not drive the decision. other people say he drove the decision. so it is clear to me that the

what's going on with jared kushner? >> at this hour we're finding the white house mass now restored jared kushner's security clearance. if you remember, it was suspended back in february when the white house was doing an overhaul of security clearances after the rob porter scandal. he was still employed at the white house despite the allegations of spousal abuse. so the security clearances of jared kushner and other top officials who had been pending was suspended at the time. we're told that the word now from the white house is that it is now officially restored. this is something that people close to jared kushner say was done through the normal process. there was no pressure put on the fbi that did the review for the security clearances. no pressure was put on from the president or anybody else. obviously we know that there's been months of a cloud over jared kushner about the security clearance. in his first submission, if you recall, back in 2017 there was a number of -- dozens of foreign contacts left off the appl

jared kushner will be negotiating this peace deal. the move, the very controversial move which clearly is a blow to palestinians who see jerusalem as possibly a future capital of palestinian state, they say that this will -- u.s. officials saying this move will give israelis the confidence to make the kind of compromise that they want to give to the palestinians. last quote from jared kushner, we believe it is possibly for both sides to gain more than they give so that all people can live in peace, safe from danger, free from fear and able to pursue their dreams. jerusalem must remain a city that brings people of all faiths together. while president trump did recognize jerusalem as the future capital he is not precluding the fact that part of jerusalem could be part of a palestinian state in the future after negotiations between the two parties. >> the latest for us there. thank you. >>> let's get to the bottom line now with fareed zakaria. as we look at this in your estimation what is the bottom line today as we are looking at everyt

jared kushner from reading the transcripts was there and left to take a phone call. he said so much that he had his assistant call in so he could leave the room. he did leave the room. i really do think it's important in reading this that it's part of what we have seen with the transition team, with folks in the campaign that they were taking meetings that they had no business taking. >> shimon, this is the thing i want to point out here. the fact that jared kushner was angry that he wasn't getting apparently dirt on hillary clinton is something that democrats are picking up on right now. i want to read you dianne feinstein who is the ranking member of the judiciary committee. they reveal a top campaign official and they were frustrated and angry that the meeting did not produce enough damaging information on their opponent and if you read that one exchange with jared kushner where rob goldstone, kushner got mad in the middle of it and he appear appeared frustrated and agitated and said i have no idea what you were talking about there, this isn't the dirt we were pro

ivanka trump and jared kushner are both here. jared kushner of course having the middle east peace portfolio. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu also here. most of the important people in this country, top officials, are in attendance today. because this is seen as such a significant ceremony, something that israel has long been asking for, and the previous u.s. administrations had promised to do but had not done, had deferred that decision out of fear that it would cause violence, very much like the violence we're seeing now in the gaza strip. >> and we're going to go there now, our colleague matt bradley is on the phone in gaza. matt, give us an update, what are you seeing? >> well, right now, we're in the northeast portion of the gaza strip, stephanie, and it's looking as though this is escalating not just from sniper fire from the israeli soldiers lining the border, they're actually shelling where i am, for the last several hours. not just normal batteries guns, there's f-16s flying over and dropping weapons. this

do you remember when jared kushner lost his security clearance? jared kushner is the president's son-in-law. he is married to the president's daughter, ivanka. mr. kushner still works in the white house. he still has the white house senior adviser title that he has had ever since he first got to d.c. but mr. kushner apparently is no longer allowed access to any classified materials. because he was not able to get a security clearance. one of the reported concerns about his security clearance application were these repeated allegations that he was mixing conversations about the needs of his family's real estate business with conversations he was having about u.s. government policy as a white house adviser. that's the kind of thing that can keep you from getting a security clearance. if you are giving business owners or donors or foreign governments the impression that if they financially help out your family business that might give them an edge when it comes to getting what they want from the u.s. government, that's not okay. you can't get a clear

george papadopoulos and jared jared kushner. and did russia actually affect the outcome of our election? one of the nation's foremost intel chiefs made that very claim tonight. as "the 11th hour" gets under way on this wednesday evening. good evening. from our nbc headquarters here in new york. day 489 of the trump administration. hours from a critical briefing about classified documents brokered by the white house amid the president's latest efforts to undercut and discredit the russia investigation while also attacking federal law enforcement. more on that meeting in a moment. because we want you to hear how the president is now branding what he alleges was an attempt by federal law enforcement, our own team, to infiltrate and illegally conduct surveillance on his 2016 campaign. all evidence thus far to the contrary. >> a lot of bad things have happened. we now call it spygate. you're calling it spygate. >> originally, two republican house members were slated to join the fbi and the national intelligence directors along with a

you've got some thoughts about what mike is reporting about jared kushner and jared kushner's possible status may be. >> well, kushner said what he had to say when he was up on the hill. there was no doubt he wouldn't have been able to continue in the white house at that point in time had the answers been any different. but as the information that's publicly available -- nicole, you're always good to point out that what we know is just the tip of the iceberg. but just that tip of the iceberg points heavily in a direction that's not good for jared kushner. now we have these questions that are either mueller's questions or notes taken by trump's legal team, reflecting mueller's questions. and they indicate an assumption that kushner was involved in setting up a back channel, that kushner was in some ways a part of this collusion package that the special counsel's office is looking at almost as though it's a foregone conclusion that kushner is guilty. then we mary that knowledge up with the fact that kushner has not been recalled but for his brief one-hour stint of testimony with the spec

and jared kushner, his son-in-law and senior adviser. do aides fear that because of something that could turn up in the cohen raids and if so why wouldn't they worry about donald trump himself since he's the one who's close to cohen? >> it's complicated when you're dealing with the president of the united states. with mueller he will likely issue a report where then congress will decide whether to pursue impeachment or a trial in the senate. but with regard to the president's family, the white house is in that narrow window that it can only see parts of this investigation. they know some of the questions that white house officials have been asked. the white house has cooperated with interviews. and they do hear questions about b. that donald trump jr. meeting with the russian lawyer. they do at times hear questions about jared kushner and his meetings during the transition with foreign officials. so all these things are out there as questions for a white house that feels under siege. >> and i'm struck by another line in your piece that s

jared kushner says the opening is proof that the president keeps his promises. >> today also demonstrates american lead irship. by moving our embassy to jerusalem, we have shown the world once again that the united states can be trusted. we stand with our friends and o allies, and we have shown that the united states of america will do what's right and so we have. >> as jared kushner hails the white house standing by its word, the president is getting hammered for appearing to back down on u.s. sanctions. president trump tweeted he wants to help zte, it is on the sanctions list for doing business with iran as well as north korea. what about the white house aide who insulted john mccain. she told mccain's daughter she would publicly apologizapologiz. well, in the end, that is something that has not happened, and the white house has been more upset about leaks rather than what was said in that meeting. there's much to discuss, as we wait for the briefing to begin. i have with me now, dana bash. dana bash and chris is a liz saturday. we're going to hear the briefing soon. let's start with th

it included secretary of treasury steven mnuchin, senior adviser jared kushner, senior adviser ivanka trump and jason greenblatt. today is a great day for israel and if united states. it's a reminder to everyone when president trump makes a promise he keeps it. i'm anunsing that next tuesday may 22, the -- announcing that next tuesday, may 22, president trump will address the national campaign gala to discuss this m actions he has taken to protect lives of the unborn and defend religious liberty. this morning he had a call with james shaw to defend his heroic actions and quick thinking at a waffle house in tennessee. mr. shaw saved lives when he wrestled a gun from an active shooter who opened fire. lastly over the weekend we sadly saw another terrorist attack in central paris. our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. we stand in solidarity with the french people and their government against this vicious act of terrorism and pledge any assistance needed. with that, i will take your questions. john? >> reporter: raj, a couple, if i could. at the same time there

., jared kushner, the president's -- now the president's son-in-law. these are people obviously who have all been interviewed by different committees on the senate and the house and it's interesting to see what their accounts are, how their accounts differ of what exactly happened. we also know that among this 2,000 pages that are being released are some notes that paul manafort took on his phone and were printed out obviously and have now been released as part of this release by the senate judiciary committee. we also know that among the other people who were at the meeting were the couple of russian developers, who were people who knew donald trump from way back when he was in russia for the miss universe pageant. a lot of connections back and forth between all of these characters and the people in the trump campaign and which is why a year after the mueller -- after robert mueller took over this investigation we're still waiting for some answers as to what happened here, whether or not there was any collusion, this is obviously something that is sti

., paul manafort, jared kushner and russians connected to putin and russian oligarchs but the new details from "the new york times" in which we learned the original investigation had a secret code name, cross fire hurricane. a nod to the rolling stones lyric from jumping jack flash and the agents were afraid of leaks so much so they kept details secret from the justice department, only five officials at doj knew the whole story. the facts had they surfaced might have devastated the trump campaign and his national security adviser was under investigation and his campaign chairman. one trump adviser appeared to have russian intelligence contacts, another was suspected of being a russian agent himself, unquote. this comes in stark contrast with the way that hillary clinton e-mail case was being handled with a public press conference from former fbi director james comey and a public announcement the case would be reopened a week and a half before election day. but when it came to the trump investigation, the fbi was more circumspect than has been previously known. agents considered and then r

this is not conducive in any way to the jared kushner-led peace effort. and we have yet to really hear very much from the white house about what they would like to see done by israel or by others to address the crisis in gaza. >> and we have a situation literally simultaneously as we showed those two things on one hand, you have a deadly violence and on the other you see the kushners standing, smiling, steve mnuchin, ambassador, standing and smiling. a pretty stunning split screen, if you will, about the two different ways in which this is viewed. what does this mean for the middle east peace process? is there a middle east peace process? >> reporter: well, right now there isn't. right now you have a -- an expressed willingness on the part of israel to come to the table under circumstance circumstances, and you had until december a similar expressed willingness on the palestinians side. we don't really know where that stands now, and you have standing between them donald trump saying he would like to meet, to make the ultimate deal and it really shouldn't

jared kushner: sure. the first thing is we are focused on the people, take as many people in this country for whatever reason, they commit a crime and in prison and how do we help them have the best chance of working a productive life after. we spoke to a lot of the people, a lot of people in this room today and what we saw, it has to be a holistic solution. if you help somebody get a job or diction, we really want to make sure we have the best practices together. the other thing that the attorney general is making sure the programs are evidence-based. folks at the federal level where we have 8% of the country's inmates but working on legislation in congress which just got out of the judiciary committee 25-5 vote which is very bipartisan for this climate which we are quite pleased with and working on a commission with the new director of the bureau of prisons has been working with attorney general sessions to look at the different changes they can make and we are working with the faith communities and dif

ivanka trump, jared kushner. elise labott joins us with the latest. elise, you were at the opening ceremony today. what can you tell us? . >> reporter: well, anderson, i think you can call it a love fest would not be an overestimation. it's impossible to overestimate how popular president trump is with this move to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. driving up even to the embassy, there are all these signs that say president trump will make israel great again, trump is a friend of israel. and i think that the israelis feel that after years of president obama that there is a u.s. president that does have their back, that you just saw last week, he pulled out of the iran deal and cited evidence from prime minister netanyahu. that was really the theme of today, all of the speakers praising president trump. eve everyone in his administration who was named whether they were there or not. john bolton, nikki haley, mike pence, mike pompeo. everyone got a standing ovation, but it was really jared kushner who was the keynote speaker that got the kind of loude

now jared kushner has his top security clearance. the fbi completed his file and submitted to the white house personnel security and he has that security clearance. his attorney in a statement a short time ago saying "as we stated before, his application was properly submitted, reviewed by career officials and went through the normal process. having completed the processes, mr. kushner is looking forward to continue the work the president has asked him to do." it's significant, too, to consider that the fbi vetted him thoroughly and likely given him in this capacity and given all of the other stuff out there, regarding jared kushner and the russian investigation and the president and his connection to the president and his dealings with his former companies, this would have been vetted at a high level and the fbi didn't find anything that caused red flags for the white house office of personnel security to deny him a security clearance. so the implications of this may go beyond just the fact that he now has a top secret security clea

"the new york times" is reporting jared kushner has been granted his security clearance. joining me, matt apuzzo from "the new york times." how did kushner get his clearance back in last i check this was not something he was going to get without a presidential waiver. >> yeah. i don't know about that. but the review has been ongoing to get a full clearance. you do need to get -- you do need to get an fbi background check. that has dragged on for well over a year. and has really fueled this swirl of questions and speculation about why isn't he getting his clearance, what is the problem. and the white house has been trying to beat that back and saying this is the normal process, it takes a long time, kushner has so many complicated financial deals, and he was the point person for overseas contacts. not to mention the fact that he made a number of mistakes in filing the application for the clearance. when you add it up, this is totally routine. but the more it dragged on, the more it contributed to this question of, what does the fbi or what does the intelligence community h

we learned today this man, the president's son-in-law, the senior adviser jared kushner met with the mueller team for a second time in april. nbc news reports the sitdown lasted over six hours, covered a wide range of topics including the firing of james comey. wall street journal reported last year that kushner pushed for comey's firing in discussions with the president and top advisers. kushner's attorney abbe lowell provided more detail about this interview on cnn. >> i'll tell you the topics. they were appropriate tom topics that bob mueller and his team are looking at. they are what happened in the campaign that might suggest there were some outside influences, primarily what i call the allegations of russia collusion. issues of contacts with feel, particularly foreigners during the transition, and the topics of post inauguration, what is lumped into the category of obstruction. >> a warning that this is what lawyers always say. but lowell went on to say that kushner has fully cooperated with the investigation. and matt apuzzo of the new york times was the first to report that j

jared kushner there and jared kushner will speak and say it is still possible to bring peace to the middle east. we have not seen that peace plan thrks outline of that, the white house has not released that yet and without question it does make it more difficult. >> just looking at these pictures on the screen. you have the embassy opening there. you have the violence in gaza right nearby that has claimed according to palestinian officials 38 lives. it is striking, jeff zeleny. thank you very much. joining me now christiane amanpour and rear admiral. if we can pull back up on the screen the split screen it is striking to see the juxtaposition. >> it is an extraordinary day obviously for president trump, for his daughter, her husband, for all the officials who are there and most particularly for the israeli prime minister this is a tryout. he managed to draw an american administration into a declaration that breaks not only with 70 years of american policy but 70 years of international consensus. so if you wanted to see what it looks like to have an american policy going it alone in the wor

scarlet: jared kushner is not doing any of negotiated. is he connected to this in any direct way anymore? >> no. as far as we know jared has had nothing to do with this deal. he creates a bright line between this job in the white house. jared is still close to his family and his family owns the company. scarlet: needed to make this clear. so much.ank you now it is time for the bloomberg business flash, the biggest business stories in the news today. jpmorgan is expanding its reach to the masses. requirement to participate in alternative investments that were once offered mainly to institutions or the rich. the new minimum buy in will be $100,000. the bank is using technology to make the shift from i-capital network. credite is calling -- default swaps a ticking time bomb. the remarks were part of the vatican's's tweeting critique of global finance. in the past, the pope has called the regulation of the financial system absolute power. his sentiments also echo warren buffett to once called derivatives weapons of mass destruction. mortgage

we don't know what jared curbmer h -- kushner has said about this meeting but jared kushner was supposed to be the back channel between the trump transition and russia. and we do know that jared kushner had meetings with russians including kislyak and this is one we don't know about and we don't know what it was about but obviously don jr. wasn't saying much about it because he wasn't really much a part of it, or so he says. >> it seems like there might have been other opportunities -- jared kushner has had to revise his statement. >> and in his testimony before congress, which we have not seen the whole breadth of that yet and certainly before the special counsel but again, michael cohen, who was going to be the national security adviser here and who was fired because he lied to mike pence about his contacts with the russians, here he is having another discussion with kislyak. and so the question is was it about russia sanctions. we just don't know the answer to that yet. >> now, on what tom was just laying out, what we've learned from these transskrimcripts fro senate judiciary committ

., and jared kushner, his son-in-law and a senior adviser. and, ashley, mr. kushner signaled just how serious it might be by his choice of lawyers in washington, abbe lowell among the very best, especially for officials who find themselves in trouble. but the first part was so important. those close to the president believing at this late date in his eventual exoneration. >> they absolutely believe that. nearly everyone we talked to believes, especially when it comes to collusion, they believe that the president says he's done nothing wrong. they believe him when he says that, and they also sort of say, look, bob mueller is so thorough that if there was a "there "there, it would have turned up by now. there's a little more question on the obstruction of justice bucket just because no one sort of quite knows what the bar is and what they may not know. they sort of describe saying we believe the president will be exonerated but they are sort of psychologically steeling themselves for a long slog because they don't know if and when it will happen. they also reco

did you ever have a follow-up conversation, ever, with jared kushner or paul manafort about this meeting in any way, shape or form, and the answer is no, which seems to me a little odd because i would think you would -- let's say it was not the meeting they thought it was, which by all accounts it was not, according to all the testimony they thought they were getting one thing and got something else or didn't get anything. wouldn't you say, man, can you believe that meeting? i've been in meetings before, not at cnn of course, but i've been in meetings before where you think it's going to go one way and it goes another way. there is a little bit of commiserating. let's not get in that scenario again. it struck me in reading don junior's testimony odd that they never spoke of it. they sort of leave the room and it's as though it never happened. >> that was a nice save, chris. >> i do what i can. >> yes. i want you all to stick around. we have much more to talk about. when we come back, i want to talk about another big revelation from the trump tower transcripts, the meeting donald trump jr

and of course, i want to especially welcome jared kushner and ivanka trump. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: your presence here today is testament to the importance of this occasion. not only for the trump administration, but in a very personal way. for you. for you, each of you, for the pursuit of peace, and for president trump himself, thank you. dear friends. what a glorious day. remember this moment. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: this is history. president trump, by recognizing history, you have made history. all of us are deeply moved. all of us are deeply grateful. for me, being here brings back wonderful memories from my childhood. [speaking foreign language] p.m. netanyahu: so i know some of you did not follow every word i said in hebrew but i spent my first years of life in this neighborhood. not very far away. there were a few charming houses here. many open fields. i remember ambling in these fields with my brother. he was 6, i was 3. he held my hand very tight. we would walk through this house of a professor, the renowned jewish historian, was my father's teacher. i used

one of the thing i've been re reading in on on this is the jared kushner piece of this. he did speak with a couple other committees here but not the jaw dish airy committee. what stuck out in his statement, he says he was the person detailed during the campaign and the transition to keep up with foreign governments. >> right. >> reporter: and then he spoke to maybe 15 foreign governments during the process of this. almost all of those interactions had been laid out previously. but what stuck with me is that kushner describes after almost every one of these interactions that there was no follow-up. while he mitt sergey kislyak as has been reported, they never spoke again. he was later introduced to a sergey gorkov who's a banker allied with putin that they met once in des during the transition and then they never spoek spoke again. you hear a lot about these cliff hanger meetings and the pushback from democrats is what's going on here? this is your job but you're not following up or are you following up and not really telling us? we're getting a lot of new threads here th

and. >> thank you. >> we'll talk about jared kushner and what wen went on. let's talk about this breaking news now. what is going on here, jack? >> with the -- >> why not have one meeting? the meeting with nunes, gowdy and those guys, then you're going to have another meeting. >> this is an echo that they wen through with the nunes report and partisan nature of that exercise. the republicans and trump forces, they want to get their story straight. more to the point, they're trying to shape the narrative. the reason they wanted to get into the republican side in advance is because they want to get their story out ahead of time. they want to frame the issue here. this is -- this is shaping a story, not searching for truth, that's the fundamental problem. >> you agree with that? >> i do. i think this is best follow after giuliani came out and said i'm not going to let my man talk until we know what's being said. >> but -- >> to spin it. >> they recognize if they got a problem winning in a court of law when the facts they have. so, now we're spinning the public

notice the disparaging way that uae and saudi talk about jared kushner. notice how jared kushner is doing business shortly thereafter with qatar. it looks like what is going on is a bidding war in which qatar is placing its chips on jared kushner. and saudi arabia and uae is trying to buy their way to donald trump jr. it's not that the campaign is for sale, it's that it's for auction. i think jared kushner probably comes at a higher price than don junior. the other thing that's striking is a business partner of george nader and people remember him because he's the man, although he hires sophisticated lawyers, hired michael cohen to deliver funds to a woman with whom elliott broad dy said he had an affair, a baby, that was aborted by the woman. and the next day, after the payments were issued, elliott bro bro broaddy got a meeting with the white house. i think there are a lot of pieces with the puzzle. >> let's listen to what congressman adam schiff said t about it. >> if these facts are accurate. it demonstrates not only how willing but eager the presiden

embassy went ahead despite the protests if husband jared kushner the u.s. delegation israel's prime minister called it quote a glorious day. it's good to have you with us for some a day of joy for others a day of death today the u.s. officially opened its new embassy in jerusalem a move celebrated by israelis and condemned by palestinians protests on the gaza border turned deadly with fifty two people killed by israeli troops there the white house is blaming hamas which governs gaza for what it called intentionally and cynically provoking the israeli response president trumps decision last year to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital with decades of the u.s. policy and it put at odds with most of the international community. donald trump didn't come to the opening ceremony himself instead he sent his daughter ivanka and her husband jared kushner both advisors to the president who decided to move the embassy and recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. trump sent a video message to the gathering israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other

ainsley: steve mnuchin is there, ivanka trump, jared kushner. ivanka was tweeting welcome to benjamin netanyahu. steve: people are gathered for the official opening. they are going to unveil a plaque very shortly that shows it is officially the embassy, but that doesn't make jerusalem the capital of israel because remember, king david made jerusalem the capital of israel 3,000 years ago and of course it was back in the '90s when the united states of america it, was a bipartisan agreement that jersey embassy act of 1995 that congress passed that said we would move our embassy there but bill clinton didn't have the political will, george w. bush didn't do it, neither did barack obama, but this president, donald trump, made it a campaign pledge and today he is accomplishing. brian: nobody had worst relations than i can remember president obama and benjamin netanyahu. they had instant dislike for each other. they were constantly showing disrespect for each other. netanyahu addressed congress. didn't go over there right away. they didn't hit it off.
