established or rather has turned the established political order on its head. today caps off a bitter fight between the final two candidates. the far right national front leader marine le pen and emmanuel macron. whichever way it goes the outcome implications not just for america but for the rest of the world. president trump did not endorse le pen directly but he did say the following punish whoever is the toughest on radical islamic will be the one. >> former president barack obama gave a last-minute endorsement to macron. look at this. >> i have admired the campaign that emmanuel macron has run. he has stood up for liberal values. he put forward a vision for the important role that france plays in europe and around the world. and he is committed to a better future for the french people.

>> now on the eve of the election here in an early similar situation, the u.s. candidate macron campaign's was hacked. thousands of e-mails dumped. what you're seeing there now are people going to the polls just moments ago wend emmanuel macron is there on the left and marine le pen will be on the right. there they are. a was waitiiting for that video up. they are voting themselves. joining us from paris is melissa bell and the author "a shattered piece for shy 1919 and the price we pay for today." thank you both for being with us. what are you hearing from voters, melissa, as they hit polling stations about everything that has happened in the last 24 hours? >> reporter: well, we are here at the 18th district of paris in

a polling station and show you what that looks like behind me. people make their way down this line to put their choice in that box at the end of the line. they are given two pieces of paper. one with emmanuel macron on it and another with marine le upon and put it in privately before dropping it in in that box. we have seen lots of people here in the 18th district of paris. what they are saying to us they were determined to come here today to vote because even more than in previous elections this is a momentous choice they are making and france is looking down one road or a different vision what the future should be. . a couple of interesting statistics. the mid-day voting figures because that question of turnout is going to be absolutely crucial especially for the chances of the independent centrist who is standing without a party and how many people have come out to vote? mid-day the figure is just over 28% of potential voters.

it was back in 201230 at the same time so slightly down but not terribly far off hi cal averages and a very important figure especially for emmanuel m macron. >> david, why could this election be so pivotal when it comes to the u.s.? >> well, there are a whole lot of reasons but basically you outlined them at the beginning. that is to say it's trump versus obama, in effect. you have le pen who is very close to both president trump and president putin and that is very important. macron is not. he is interested in a image for france and wants france to remain part of the european union and a have a good trading relationship with the rest of the world. le pen wants to isolate france more and she want to close the borders to immigrants and wants to make france for the french, if you will, and bring back jobs to the french people, to the

french factories, factory workers throughout the country. all of that is very, very important. we need to watch that very carefully. what is also very important is clearly macron is poised to have a victor. the question is how big that victor is and will marine le pen get enough votes, reach the 30% to 40% level and make her the clear opposition and united states has to fight with over the next years. >> i want to read something macron had said. almost certainly when he was talking about hillary clinton the mistake she made in terms of not being out there and just assuming that he would win. ed i'm absolutely not playing that game. right from the first day that hasn't been the way i defended myself or how i thought. but polls have him ahead. how much credence do we put in polls these days? does france? >>. >> a fifty-two question.

we saw both the united kingdom and united states get the polls wrong because had he had failed to hear that populace anger and wave. here in france pollsters are telling me they are careful in mayor measuring because in france we have always had a far left and far right vote. to hear those populace extremist votes and confident this time they will get it right as well and to be fair the first round did prove remarkly accurate. the pollsters did get it right. here in france, of course, another factor picking up on what i said a moment ago this is a way the continuation of that back light of ideas we saw in the united states just a few months ago with this difference. that in france, you know, each country have been looking at the populace wave and howe it unf is over the country. this is a country that remembers the populace and the real

challenge for marine le pen is convince voters she is not the continuation of her father's policies with the sort of racist and antisemitic overtones when his father was in charge. the side to her campaign that her father had represented it's one of the key questions we heard the french president hollande who is not standing for re-election voting a short while in the south of france and saying people need to go out and vote because it is about choosing the right path. here in france you have a clear sense that the political elites are trying to encourage the french to go out and vote because they believe that republican vote as they call it where different political parties get together to keep the far right out and very keen this time it should happen as it did back in 2002 when le pen's father stood. the question whether she has managed to get over that barrel that the french put in the way

tend of her party's fortunes. >> melissa legal and david anderman we thank you both for being with us. we finally hear from one of the most high profile witnesses in the russia/white house fallout tomorrow. sally yates is expected to testify before the judiciary subcommittee. yates was abruptly fired in january after publicly saying she would not defend the president's travel band. the first time yates will publicly speak about the warning she says she gave the white house about flynn. a previous hearing scheduled in march was abruptly cancelled by house intelligence chairman david nunez. i'm sorry, devin nunez. jooi for that. errol louis and kyle fletcher join us this morning.

good morning. i want to starl you're watching cnn. the most trusted name in news. with you, kyle. february 14th the day after then national security adviser michael flynn resigned. this is how white house press secretary sean spicer characterized what sally yates told them. >> just to be clear the acting attorney general informed the white house counsel that they wanted to give, quote, a headup to us on some comments that may have seemed in conflict with what the -- he had sent the vice president out in particular. the white house counsel informed the president immediately. the president asked him to conduct a review whether there was a legal situation there. that was immediately determined that there wasn't. >> so spicer characterizes this as a heads-up but sources tell cnn that yates's warning was more than a heads-up, kyle. >> it seems a little more severe from that. from what we are hearing she didn't outright tell the white house that michael flynn could be fired but strongly implied

that. so that clip you just showed from sean spicer seem to downplay the severity of what sally yates was trying to get across when she spoke with the white house counsel. >> errol, let's talk about the time line here. the meeting between yates and the white house counsel from what wend was january 26th. more than two weeks later on february 10th, when the president was asked about the reporting from "the washington post" on the conversations between he and the russian ambassador on air force one this is what the president said. >> i don't know about it. i haven't seen it. what report is that? >> reporting he talked to the ambassador of russia before you were inaugurated will sanctions. >> i haven't seen that. i'll look at that. >> i remember discussing with you the day after that happened on air force one about if that was even plausible that the

president had not heard about it. we now know that the president absolutely knew about it and we know about it from his own white house press secretary. >> that's right. i remember that conversation, victor. i remember saying that man is not telling the truth. i was talking about the president. just from his demeanor, all of the facts of the situation. let's go back a little bit further in the time line, victor, to december 29th when sanctions were being announced publicly and unprecedented kind of pushback from the united states saying the russians not only meddled in our elections but punished for it. people were excelled on that day. on that day michael flynn talked with the russian ambassador and lied it. this is serious stuff. this is about important questions he thought were important enough that he would lie to his own boss about it, a penalty for which he has been fired. >> this seems to be the linchpin, kyle. if you look back to the president's news conference the only one he has held since he

has been in the white house, he said that -- i'll quote him here. i don't know about that -- rather ed when i looked at the information, i said, i don't think he did anything wrong, speaking of flynn. if anything, he did something right. he was coming to an office. he looked at the information and he said that is fine, that is what they are supposed to do. it really dame down to lying to the vice president on or about misleading the vice president and not the conversations about the sanctions. >> right. even then, it seems like president trump hasn't really been that angry publicly with mike flynn for his lying to mike pence. the president values loyalty above all else and mike flynn was one of his early supporters. so it seems to me it's hard for the president to come across as angry and disappointed in mike flynn when he is really been someone that has been with him so long. even with all this scandal around him, the president has yet to really forcefully condemn

mike flynn directly. >> errol, where does the yates testimony fit into the narrative building about how the white house handled what they learned and when they learned it about the conversations that the former national security adviser had with kislyak? >> i think it advances in possibly public way. what we have been hearing around the edges of the intelligence committees that there was serious enough contact that members of the trump transition team and high ranking officials thought it was necessary to lie about those contacts. that is pretty serious stuff. sally yates has no dog in this hunt. she not a politician. she wasn't out campaigning for or against anybody in the last election. so it's going to have some real credibility that somebody who was a career official comes across the situation with people kind of having these untoward contacts, subsequently lying about it, i think it helps to focus the public on what is at the core of all of this stuff

which is a real serious breach of national security protocols and if people don't care about it, that is one thing, but we really do need to find out more about what happened. >> errol, kyle, stick bus. we will pick up with the conversation in a few minutes. >> thanks. a town in alabama wants to form its own school system and a judge slams that effort from being motivated by race. so the question is why is that same judge allowing it to happen? vest $500,000 and immigrate to the u.s. jared kushner's sister could be using the white house for profit.

provided more opportunities. >> i was the first african-american valedictorian that garden dale had. >> reporter: students outside of this town come to garden dale they don't have at other jefferson county school district. >> very a very diverse school district now. we are basically 50/50 in terms of ethnic representation. and that is fine because we value greatly the strengths that are built upon diversity. >> reporter: but that is now in jeopardy. garden dale with a mostly white population of nearly 14 thousand and an annual income of $56,000 is seek to go split from the county school system. nearly half of jefferson county's 660,000 residents are black and the income level is lower. a group of the city's residents went to court arguing that, quote, desegregation orders are

to a mj projenew jersey projecte family is building. matt is live in beijing. i know the kushners are using the program to bring in investors. what are you hearing there? >> reporter: well, theis was a presentation given inside of a fancy ritz-carlton ballroom. a hundred chinese investors wered ask to showed up and jared kushner's sister was part of the program. it is used by chiyou get a chan to a certain amount of money and apply for a green card and something lots of real estate development companies used. the fact that kushner companies using jared kushner's sister is here pitching chinese investors is not unusual in and of itself. a lot of real estate development companies do that. what is unusual is the fact that jared kushner, until january,

when he joined the administration officially, was the ceo of kushner companies. he is very much attached to the company and he still has lots of different business holdings and so it is raising the question is kushner companies using jared kushner's proximity to the president to potentially lure chinese investors? it's a question that i think is very reasonable to ask and we did pose that question to a lawyer for jared kushner and we did get a response we would like to read to you in full and his lawyer wrote mr. curber had no involvement in the kushner companies. quote but the fact remains that that the company is the kushner name and that people here in china on associate jared kushner with the trump presidency. jared kushner has been a key

adviser to the president and he set the agenda for china's president xi jinping to the first visit to the united states in april and this is raising more concerns and clear that the company understands the optics here. we sent in an associate producer to film the event on her iphone. she didn't get kicked out but we do know reporters for new york city and "the washington post" were escorted out of the event for reasons that they were told were unknown. >> matt rivers, thank you for the update. here is more information about that eb-5 visa program that allows immigrants to the green card if they invest more than 5th hundr $500,000. this was used by the trump and kushner familiar businesses. laurks on both sides are clear in their critique of the program and they say it sells citizenship. let's bring back errol louis and

kyle fletcher. the question to kushner and potential conflict of interest, first, before we talk about the visa program overall. his attorney blake roberts said kushner has divested his interest in the project and recuse himself from this visa program. errol, do you see a conflict of interest here? >> yes. a an absolute conflict of interest here and even from the attorney's letter. these family members won't benefit from it but those members of his family will benefit from it. okay, fine. if that is enough to sort of satisfy the office of government ethics or to satisfy people politically that is one thing but i think most people first hearing it understand that the kushner family is out making money at the same time as jared kushner is making policies. the larger question is should there be an eb-5 program? at that point, the conflict is ovens that whether he personally or nis child or his wife and his

sister sister are all going to benefit from it, some of them yes, some of them no. i think we should be asking the question why in order to build an office building in new jersey do you have to go to beijing and, in effect, sell citizenship? >> on kyle, i'm sure now this was broken over this weekend this is one of the early questions for sean spicer when he returns or if it's sarah huckabee sander on monday. does the president stand by this program that many say sells citizenship? >> it's going to be interesting to see the response to that because this program really does go against a lot of what the trump administration says about immigration. they don't want the buy american, hire american is the creed over there. the slogan america first has been the cornerstone of the crump administration so far. you hear the allegations here. selling citizenship and one of the pitches at this conference

yesterday was, hey, get in now before the administration possibly raises that level up to a different amount that could be more expensive. so there are going to be some real questions about the trump administration and how they handle not only this visa program but immigration at large. >> errol, jared kushner's sister did not mention her brother's role specifically within the administration, did not use the president's name but according to "the new york times" there was a slide show presentation and the president's face was there and had him labeled as a key decision maker. of course, he is the president of the united states but he is not intimately involved in visa approvals, typically, is he? >> i'm not so sure about that. not about the particular visa as whether or not you can get access to that capital that for some reason certain developers, including the trump organization and the kushner companies seem to want to get from this particular source as opposed to

trying to prove their credit worthiness to american financial resources. so if this is going to be the path of the future, you know, it's very interesting this notion that there could be a squeeze play here where what they want to do is try and get as much money right now as they possible can and then maybe sort of raise the price, have the folk who are doing the family's business out of the white house change the policy or push to change the policy in a way that will get them even more money on the private side. that is the new normal. that is what we see going on and i think we are going to have our hands full reporting on all of the difference cases and places you have to go halfway around the world for this particular one in which the people in the white house and their families and their businesses are mixing public and private business. >> no doubt this will be a topic of conversation as we go into the new week. thank you both so much. >> thank you. 82 schoolgirls are free now in nigeria after the government
