for countries who did not pay their full share. >> thank you very much. that's it for me. to all our viewers, thanks for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." erin burnett "out front" starts right now. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> good evening, i'm erin burnett. "out front" tonight breaking news. kushner's russia connection. fbi investigators are now focussing on president trump's son-in-law jared kushner. and meetings he had with the russian ambassador and the head of a russian bank that is the subject of american sanctions. the reports show that kushner is being investigated because of the extent and nature of his interactions with the russians. this is as big development. this comes a day after an unnamed senior white house

official close to the president is the subject of the investigation. matt, this is a stunning new development. what else can you tell us about your reporting? >> reporter: it is. so last week we reported that a senior white house person was a significant person of interest in this investigation and today we can reveal that that person is jared kushner. that's really important, of course, because there's almost no one closer to the president in the white house than him. he's the president's son-in-law. he's kind of the key person in interactions with foreign countries. so this is big news. i should clarify that we're not saying that he is going to be charged with a crime. we're not saying he is the target of the investigation. they're certainly looking at paul manfort and mike flynn, too, but to put jared kushner up in that class of people who they're interested in. >> to your point, this is somebody -- they are not alleging wrongdoing but they are

investigate i investigating the person perhaps closest to the president. >> that's right. that's why we think that this is so significant, even that they can't allege significant wrongdoing, it's important for the public to know this. >> and at this time you're talking about meetings with the russian ambassador, meetings with a russian bank. what other developments do you know of at this time link that jared kushner may have had with the russians that they are looking at? >> we know in april there was an event at the may flour that he was at and sergey kislyak was at. we don't know if they interacted at all. i'm sure investigators are interested in that. what we're focused on is the series of meeting in december -- >> april 2016. j ok. >> then december 2016 is what

they're really scrutinizing now. that's a meeting between kushner and the ambassador. then curb her sends a top deputy. later that month he meets with the head of a russian bank. we don't know what that's about. the white house has characterized these as routine. >> so matt, when you say he's being investigated because of the extent and nature of his interactions with the russian, what is the significance of that? to your point some of these meetings we've known about before. kushner didn't disclose them originally but he did. knowing about them, are they worth investigating? >> yeah, that's right. i think the disclosure information is important. they weren't disclosed in real time. they were disclosed later.

his lawyer at the time suggested, well, this was an innocent oversight. he sought to clarify that but that speaks to the nature to have these meetings. also, look, at the time in december, the law enforcement community, the intelligence community was aware of russian medaling in our election. there was talk of sanctions in the area and jared curb her is taking meetings around the russians. as i said before, look, he's part of the incoming administration. he has a right to be a part of the new president's foreign policy. >> i want to bring in others here to add to the discussion here about your breaking news, the former republican candidate rick santorum along with communications director for president obama, jan pfeiffer. senator let me give you a chance to react. matt is here from the washington post with breaking news.

jared kushner is now that a focus in the investigation. >> my question is i don't understand yes, sirly why that would be the indication. the russia investigation is to look at the russians influence and collaboration between the trump campaign and russia don't fit that bill rewell. the fact that someone in the trump transition team is meeting from people from a foreign government, again, that's not an unusual thing in, and doesn't really raise eyebrows with me. the other meeting that was mentioned and the discussion i just listened to was in april. we're not even sure that they did meet. i guess my question is i'm not too sure i see a lot of meat there. obviously, the fbi will look into everything. i don't see that necessarily as tying what the -- jared kushner in any kind of collusion with the russians during the campaign. >> matt, let me give ah chance to respond. you're talking about multiple

meetings, in december of high interest but also last year. >> that's right. and i want to be clear that i'm not here alleging that jared curb her con fired with the fbi. what we're reporting is this is a subject that they are interested in. look, i think you would also have to look at this in context. looking at the pre-election meetings and the post election meetings. what they're looking at is something that was carried over. was there coordination and maybe something else afterwards. of course, they would be interested in things on the campaign. what we're talking about here. >> right. >> investigation to coordination to affect the election. we know they're not just stopping their work there. >> yes. and that is, i think, important, senator, right? i want to give a chance to give immediately the response from jared kushner's lawyer came out

with a response talking about some of these meetings saying mr. curb her volunteered to share what he knows about these meetings. he will do so if asked in any other venue. dan, how significant is this news, jared kushner under investigation talking about the fbi. >> look. we don't know as matt pointed out what this means for jared kushner did. the person closer to the president, the more debilitating the investigation is. we have to wait for the investigation to play out to see who did what. the fact that they were zoning in other than ie advantage avenue is closest to donald trump. these meetings may be routine. we don't know. but it is not routine that jared kushner failed to disclose that,

much like michael flynn failed to disclose. >> senator santorum i would imagine you would concede that this is not good news. >> no, it's certainly not good news that somebody close to the president, related to the president is under investigation. but looking at the substance of what they seem to be looking into doesn't necessarily concern me as much. if those meetings were taking place before the election i would be much more concerned about what was being discussed at that time but again he had a role in the transition. as you see, he has a prominent role in foreign afargs and national security. that doesn't raise suspicion in my mind. we'll figure out what it is. >> i'm curious, though, from your point of view especially now that there's a special counsel on this. originally it's looking at medaling by the russians and possible collusion. it's clear that that's going to

bleed into was there direct efforts that were allowed by close members to drumpl that actually influenced policy. in that context these meetings could be very important. >> well, again, the transition team is going to talk to other firms outside the government about a variety of different things and i'm sure the russians made their case about the sanctions and maybe had a year to do that. i don't necessarily see that as -- i mean, in two months they're going to be making those decisions. so hearing those prior to being sworn in, i don't see as nieshl. >> let me ask you, obviously, jared kushner had these meetings. we knew about that. but now we're finding outs he is the subject of the

investigation. isn't that definition snal. >> i think that's one thing that they have to scrutinize. jamie grillic, you brought up her statement earlier. he has not talked to them. he is also willing to talk to senate investigators. he has not done that yet. this early december meeting with kislyak involves mike flynn. mike flynn later has a conversation with kislyak over the phone, hides that fact from even the vice president. i think the fbi sees a lot of smoke there and wonders what's going on. what we're reporting told is that the fbi were interested in that. >> dan, what is the significance in the fact that there are sources telling the washington post, jarld kushner is now focused on in the russia investigation, specifically putting a name to it, or not

just someone close to the white house. now he's got a name. >> well, i think it's going to force the trump administration to change their strategy. to date they've decide to push offer the other people who have been indicated, also it's carter page, who they said had a very small role in the fam pain or even paul manfort who sean spicer and the white house tried to suggest that he had a brief role. you can't run and hide from this. they are going to be forced to answer these questions about the investigation into kushner, what are the substance of the meetings, are there other things he was involved in. some of the questions are on obstruction of justice, about firing jim comey. all those questions are questions the white house have to face every day. it's been a challenge for their simple day-to-day governing in

the white house. >> given the significance of this develop, what about the speed? >> we reported that this investigation is intensifying, that they had planned in the coming weeks. they've already issued subpoenas. wooech repo we've reported that they plan to seek interviews here. robert mueller has just taken the thing over and i expect he'll set the tone on this. it's hugely important. i think they recognize that and the speed at which they move will be right in line with how important this is. >> all right. >> erin. >> go ahead. >> the question you previously asked is what's the fbi doing here. and the fbi is leaking information, the tying someone close to the president, not really tying anything specifically. even the reporter, you know, suggesting they really don't know what they're doing but they are doing something very

deliberate here. they're leaking information about someone close to the president being under investigation. in you look at the series of leaks that's come out, they're trying to target and destabilize this president. it will have an impact and it won't be a positive one. there is that question as to what the fbi is trying to do trying to impact this president. >> it's a sad point to make but i want to give you a chance to respond. you as the reporter, you're getting this information from a source. >> it's not the reporter's fault. it's not the reporter's fault. >> no, no. i'm just trying to get matt to say what is the motivation of the person sharing this with you. others are saying it's to destabilize this president and his administration. what are your source's motive? >> i think the motive with a lot of these things is that the public deserves to know this, if

a top advisor to the president is the focus of an investigation. you can decry leaks, you can say these are really bad people but these are people who the public deserves to know and so do i. >> well, i agree with you as well as journalists. all right, we go to hakeem. what's your reaction to this report? >> there's a cloud of corruption that continues to hang over 1600 pennsylvania avenue. the more we learn, the worse it gets. clearly, there was something that was not right in terms of russian's interference with our election. that's an established fact and the possibility of collusion between high-level mechanics of the trump campaign and the russians. the question is what was exchange as a result of that cooperation? refresh interference with the election by hacking into the

clinton campaign, releasing e-mails, timing the release of those to gain the most impact. was there quid pro quo. >> right. >> did the curb her meetings call into that category? >> that is the big question. as mad is saying, they aren't saying what they've discovered here. they're saying they are focussing on him and they want to know more. we know about meetings with the russian bank, we know multiple meetings with the russian ambassador. we know some of these things were not reported on that. they're saying they want to know more. he is a focus. when you take those two things together, what do you think the significance is of this tonight? >> asthere's an ongoing criminal investigation and clearly there's a lot of smoke here. the fbi is going through the process of determining whether

there was fear but nobody else is closer to president trump than ivanka. the attorney general, jeff segings, the former national security advisor, michael flynn, all these individuals are extremely close to the. but in that group no one quotes jashd kushner and the fact that he's the focus of an investigation is incredible canably significant. >> this is the closest person to the president thus far and perhaps closer than even his daughter in that white house. >> in that interviewer you just saw he says there's been an intensification of the investigation. this is something we've talked about. have you also seen that, that it is intensifying at this time? >> it appears that things have been intensifying. that's one of the reasons the president has grown increasingly

frustrated with the investigation. that may have even led to his abrupt, undemocratic and un-american dismiflt of james comey. the hope that we won't see evidence of abuse of presidential authority and obstruction of justice as there is reason to believe that may have already occurred with the termination of james comey and others. >> do you think at this midnight the president has tried to engage in obstruction of justice through what he did through the firing of james comey or is it possible that this is a president who is incredibly clueless about the way waesh works, felt there was nothing to the investigation. is there any way that you would buy that explanation for what he did? >> i think the president is generally clueless but he is the president of the united states of america. he's got experts all around him.

he's got people to advise him. it would be shocking for him to determine that terminating the fbi director who was leading an investigation that had turned criminal, it was clearly an erratic action. it may be the actions of a desperate man. >> the news, how significant do you think that is, that someone was willing to put that out there? is that just someone who's angry or is this investigation hitsing a whole new level? >> it may indicate that there are law enforcement sources who are concerned that there may be an active investigation. >> that's why they're doing. >> that's why they are providing this information to journalests who can take that story the american people. >> thank you.

investigations in jeopardy. the fbi tonight stone walling congress's demand for the explosive comey memos. those memos concern with whether the president tried to obstruct juflt. those are just a you few words. therefore multiple memos. without them the investigation in congress is under threat. >> reporter: tonight the fbi is refusings to share with congress former director james comey's private memos about his meetings with president trump. in a letter to house oversight chairman jason chaffetz, they blame the new special counsel robert mueller as well as "other considerations." chaffetz has set a new dead line to turn over the memos. he said he hopes they'll make the right decision.

>> i'm skeptical and want to see them ourselves. director comey would not answer that question. he would not confirm where they are, what their presence -- if there is a presence of these documents. he would not say a word about that. >> the fbi decision is the latest example of the russian investigation stalling on capitol hill. blamed in part on mueller's new investigation. >> i think we have the exact same rights to proceed with mueller as special counsel as we had with rosenstein as acting attorney general and that we should take advantage of that. clearly there are conflict issues that exist in either case. >> the senate judiciary committee said it wants any audio recordings that trump raised the prospect of when he tweeted "james comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press." cnn has learned the white house

has yet to tell the senate committee if the tapes even exist. witnesses, including former national security advisor michael flynn have not turned over documents, leading to threats of subpoenas. >> we'll keep pushing, frankly. we're going to work with our attorneys to be able to determine what are the parameters of where we can go and we're going to try use every tool that we can to get to the facts. >> senate intel committee chairman richard burr and ranking member mark warrener have blanket authority to issue speenz without the committee voting for them. lawmakers with frustrated and they're concerned the investigation will hamper their own proens. >> now, someone who's been breaking major stories, matthew rose berg is "out front." these memos at the core of all these investigations. will we ever see them?

>> you know, i imagine we will. information spreads pretty quickly here and if congress says they want them, they will get them eventually. will they get them through regular channels? i don't know. these things normally playle themselves out. you know, there's a real issue that i think congress is going to find in that if you're somebody being veblgted both bid a senate or a house committee and by the fbi, the fbi's the only one that can put you in jail and they're probably the first people you're going to deal with and worry about a congressional committee who is looking to make policy descriptions. >> obviously now learning about jared kushner a target of -- or

focus of the investigation. will this make a difference? they have been, i think we have all seen and every one of our viewers have seen -- incredibly slow and sclerotic at best. >> if they can get to the bottom of this and untangle all the web of all this stuff, sure, that's a great thing. if the wound is what i suspect it is which is how to deal with managing public relation in all of this, that's putting a band-aid on something that's far bigger than that. i guess it speaks to one of the challenges the trump white house has had which is treating things as public relations issues. they knew for 18 days that the fbi and the justice department

considered him a potential blackmail risk. yet they only forced him out when tw it became public. jared kushner as well, that's true of him. then denied everything. they told us, no, no, no, we never met with anyone and it turns out they met the russian ambassador and a russian banker. he works for a bank that has deep ties to russian intelligence. the banker jared met with himself went to the russian intelligence academy. there are questions that if you're the fbi you want to look at. >> absolutely. major questions which, of course, to your point too often dealt with as a pr issue as opposed to something of deep substance that this country needs answers to. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> president trump muscling his way to the front. why did he shove a prime minister and breaking news from

. welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. following the breaking news, nbc and the washington post reporting jared kushner, president trump's son-in-law and senior advisor is now under fbi scrutiny in the russia investigation. this comes just moments after trump landed in sisley as part of his foreign trip as president for the g7. as the president earlier today scolded members of nato and refused to reiterate his commitment to the defense pledge. jim acosta is out front. >> thank you. terrible thing. >> reporter: for president trump it was a day of shadowing the norms of international diplomacy. after calling for a moment of silence to remember the victims of the attack -- >> all people who cherish life must unite in finding, exposing

and removing these killers and extremists. and yes, losers. they are losers. >> reporter: the president stuck it to nato, chastising member countries that he insists aren't meeting their financial obligations. >> 23 of the 28 member nations are still not paying what they should be paying and what they're supposed to be paying for their defense. this is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the united states. >> the president was hardly feeling bashful throwing his weight around, pushing past the president of montenegro and participating in an extended power hand shape with macron. great britain is furious that american law enforcement officials come out of the investigation. >> i will be making clear to president trump today the

intelligence that is shared between law enforcement agencies must remain secure. >> the president warned he'll get to the bottom of the leak saying outside i'm asking the department of justice to launch a complete review of this matter and if appropriate, the cull plate should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. perhaps just as unsettling to nato members. one of the president's top advisors gary kohn told the president on air force 1 whether he's looking at dropping the charges. that's at odds with what secretary of state rex tillerson has said. >> all right. thank you very much jim acosta. in the context of this latest reporting from the washington post, jared curb her now a focus

of investigation. out front now rick santorum, dan phifer, dan let me give you a chance to respond to that. as jim is saying, maybe the sanctions could go away. now we have this breaking news this hour that jared kushner is now a nouks in the russia investigation. tough timing for this president. le. >> right. i think -- we don't know what the russian investigation is going to find. what we do know that the policy positions advocated by trump in the last couple of days are ones that make vladimir putin very happy. the sort of threatening nato saying you're not going to back up article 5, browbeating nato, our closest allies, these are the exact things vladimir putin wants the united states to do. so he is a big winner in this. >> should the president have raised the prospects of lifting

those sanctions with russia in any way? >> i don't agree with that. on the issue of browbeating our allies, that was something that he was very clear about during the campaign, since the campaign and is going to continue to be very clear about that everyone has to -- if an alliance is to be an alliance people have to ante up to add to the collective security of the region. i know that's not popular. i'm not sure the russians necessarily are pleased if donald trump accomplishes what he wants, which is to get more security dollars to be spent in the region. >> part of this trip, though, is as you both snow well, right, it's not so much about what he says. it's a lot about what he does and how he acts.

on that note, senator santorum let me play the video of you again of the president pushing past the president of mont nag low. you see that. then he pushes him to get in front of the 3ik9, something like that, and then adjusts his jacket. senator, what's your reaction to that? >> i mean, i don't know what the situation is. maybe he was told that he's supposed to be up in front. he was told to get in the front so he got in front. i don't know that we know what happened there. we see what happened there. there may be another story to that. i don't think it's a big dealing, in short. >> we saw what happened. we may not know why he did the push but he did a push. is there -- does context make a difference? >> context should be made a difference. if he's told he's supposed to be in front of the picture, he has

to get to the front of the picture. >> but the push -- >> the most dangerous place in donald trump was sitting between donald trump and a camera. he outrageous me ten times a day with incompetence and ma lef lens. it seems rude. maybe there's a reason for it. we have bigger fish to fry here. >> i'll leave it on that note of agreement. thank you. out front, montana voters deciding who they will send to congress. will they re-elect the man who's accuse ch of r punchings a reporter. and new details about the terror attack tonight. and on that day you will walk into a room where 15 people will be waiting... 12 behind the sofa, 2 behind the table and 1 and a half behind a curtain. family: surprise!

the left's fault. fall ryan saying he should apologize. >> paul ryan probably went the furthest in condemning it and saying he should apologize. you saw other members of congress sort of trickle in and follow suit throughout the day. but you're right. you didn't see anyone -- asking to step aside. the nrc chairman says everyone makes mistake. it's obviously more than a mistake. he didn't spell his name wrong on the ballot or something. he assaulted a reporter. >> this is not something that happens. you can think about books whatever you have want to think about the media. this is not what should happen inspect this country. >> the things is it has started happening and that's a huge problem. a couple of weeks ago here in d.c. we had a reporter from

congressional quarterly which is a trade publication here in town get pushed against the wall by fcc cops. this is something that we're seeing over and over again. it's not ok. the rhetoric needs to come down. it's up to elected representatives to help do that. they're there to be leaders and it's time for them to leave. >> thank you very much, jackie. next, isis, the manchester suicide bomber, breaking details on his training and a larger network. trump's new budget, truly a job killer or not? >> by one study we'd lose 20,000 jobs in the fifth congressional district. you know who likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy!

grande concert in england. tonight fears a second attack could be imminent. clarissa ward is live outside manchester. what are you learning about abedi's connections to isis? >> reporter: well, we're getting some mixed messages, erin, because a u.s. official has told cnn that they believe that it is likely that abedi spent time in syria training with isis in the months leading up to the attack. on the other hand, turkish officials are saying that while he passed through the istanbul airport, he never left the transit area, he never actually entered turkey, and turkey is pretty much the only way to get into isis-controlled parts of syria. so there's still some confusion about that. meanwhile also in libya, we're hearing from a libyan militia that arrested the brother and father of the bomber, that the brother confessed that both of them were isis members. >> we saw pictures of those armed officers patrolling a

train. as you have been point out, clarissa, something that has never happened before in the united kingdom. how concerned are they of another strike? >> i think there's a definite sense of real concern. as you know, the threat level here has been elevated to critical. it has not been at critical for nearly a decade. we have seen soldiers patrolling the streets in european capitals. we have seen soldiers on trains in european countries as well, but we haven't seen anything like that in the united kingdom. the main reason that there is cause for concern, erin, is simply put authorities want to find out who help the bomber make that bomb. according to an explosives expert cnn has spoken to, it was above rudimentary level, much more sophisticated that you would expect someone just doing a diy job from something they read online would be able to put together. until authorities have a good sense of how that bomb was made, who made it and where that bomb maker may be, you are going to see an increased security presence, erin. >> all right, clarissa, thank

you very much. and tonight we're continuing to learn more names of those killed in the attack and we want to tell you a little bit more about them. elaine mciver was an off-duty police officer and a much loved daughter, sister, auntie, friend and colleague. courtney boyle, 19. her boyfriend said she was like no other. philip tron. his mother says that he could light up the darkest room. wendy fallwell was a mother, and she has left friends as they tell us heartbroken beyond belief. 14-year-old sorell had big dreams and her grandfather says he is absolutely heartbroken. eileen mccloud was also 14, vivacious and full of fun, as her friends describe her. and chloe rutherford, 17, and liam curry, 19. they were together and their family said they wanted to be

new tonight, the president's budget director insisting republicans, quote, care about poor people as criticism builds over the administration's budget. that's because it could result in millions losing health care benefits and thousands losing jobs. miguel marquez is outfront. >> open up and say ahh. >> reporter: dr. anthony at hazards quantum health care in constant motion. today he employs 50 people. his practice, expanding. >> i would say 70% of our economy is driven by health care. >> you think 70% of the economy,

that's just you living here that's what you see? >> yeah, that's just looking at it and giving it the eyeball test. health care is the driving economic force in our area right now. >> reporter: kentucky, which expanded medicaid and created its own insurance exchange under obamacare has seen both patients and the health care workers who serve them skyrocket. >> it takes a big team to run -- to run a clinic like this. >> reporter: dr. jonathan piercy at university of kentucky center for rural health in hazard trains future doctors. >> we've seen a lot of clinics open lately. we've seen some new clinics tha come around. we've just built a huge new wing on the hospital. >> reporter: all of that comes with jobs. jobs now at risk if the obamacare medicaid expansion is eliminated by 2020, as congress is now considering. since 2014, as states expanded medicaid, some 1.1 million jobs were created nationwide. eastern kentucky, coal country. the fifth congressional district stands to lose more jobs than

any other district in the entire country. >> by one study, we would lose 20,000 jobs in the fifth congressional district. >> reporter: 20,000 jobs? >> 20,000 jobs, which is about double the number of jobs we've lost in the coal industry. so it would be the other shoe to drop on the economy of eastern kentucky. >> reporter: how good is it to be a nurse in eastern kentucky right now? >> i mean if you love taking care of people and that kind of environment, it's really good. there's no -- like i say, there's not a shortage of jobs. >> reporter: nurses in high demand here and well paid, evidence of a thriving health care industry everywhere. this mall, once a walmart, now a supersized medical center. >> we're constantly growing. >> reporter: kentucky river community care now has 70 facilities, has hired more than 150 employees in the last few years, and can't expand fast enough. >> how big a piece of that is the fact that they can pay for it with medicaid? >> 80%. i mean because for our programs, we have to look at revenue to expand. >> reporter: health care jobs on

the rise here. ending the medicaid expansion, another devastating blow. miguel marquez, cnn, hazard, kentucky. and thanks for joining us.
