>> guest: well, major, i never really had a beef with jared kushner. i never met jared until the presidential campaign. but, there's a history between me and the christian family as we detail in the book. i was the united states attorney in new jersey for several years. charles kushner, jerrod's father was one of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of new jersey. during those years. i wound up prosecuting his father for tax evasion and for federal election contribution violations and for witness tampering. it became a very notorious case, one that was resolved quickly come about three weeks after the charges were brought, mr. kushner pled guilty to 18 counts. he was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison. at that time, jared kushner, i did not know him. i knew of him because i knew that mr. kushner had children. i didn't know him, he did not know ivanka trump. that to me was the end of the connection with the family. he went to jail, that was the end of my involvement. >> then fast forward. not only is there a campaign, a nomination, victory,

jared kushner is the son and heir of the kushner family real estate fortune. he is also, of course, married into the trump family real estate fortune. but the people paying his legal bills right now are the people who have been going online to buy red baseball hats that say "make america great again" and the people who have been inspired by pushy e-mails to click the "donate $5" button where it says the president will build the wall if you send him $5. i mean, what those donations are actually going toward is, you know, putting another car in the garage of jared kushner's expensive lawyers, buying them more office space, giving those partners at those law firms bigger bonuses for working for jared. that's what trump campaign donors are paying for right now. that's a very specific way of making america great again. would you like to make your donation recur every month? and maybe that -- maybe that's better, actually, than what we learned today about the republican national committee, the rnc, the republican national party. cnbc reports today that rnc funds are
