trump officials concealing conversations with russian spies. >> why are all these guys doing this, are they doing it to protect themselves or to protect trump? >> i have a feeling that jared is going to do a great job. he is going to do a great job. well, up and at them on saturday morning. i am christi paul. >> victor blackwell. new reporting in "the washington post," that jared kushner proposed setting up a secret means of communicating with the kremlin. >> post reports requests came from intercepts of conversations between the russian ambassador to the united states and moscow. but three people with knowledge of the discussion tell "new york times" that the line was meant to be used to discuss strategy in syria and on policy issues. >> the post reports he made a proposal to kislyak during a

december meeting at trump tower to use russian diplomatic facilities to shield preinauguration discussions, according to u.s. officials. here's what "the washington post" reporter that broke the story is telling cnn. >> basically you had a meeting in new york, kislyak comes up to see jared kushner and to see mike flynn. jared is the one that sets up the meeting, flynn is invited a few days later. during that discussion according to dislee kislyak's account, yo jared kushner proposing the idea of having a secure, private communications channel and jared proposes doing so at a russian facility, specifically the russian embassy in washington, which kislyak according to reporting home, he was taken aback by that. he thought that was a bizarre suggestion. >> the white house has not commented on the report from the post. at this point kushner is not a target of the probe.

no allegations of wrongdoing. >> want to be clear about that. all of this as president trump's overseas trip draws to a close today. he spent this morning attending a g7 round table. in a few hours will speak to u.s. troops at an air ba base in cicely. the on-going investigation hanging over the white house as he returns. cnn correspondent jeff zeleny live in cicely. what are you hearing about the headlines we're seeing here in the u.s.? >> reporter: christi, there's no question that the headlines you're seeing in the u.s. are indeed reverberating here. i am told the president has been following it moment by moment, every incremental detail. it is stacking up and waiting for him when he returns to washington. he is having meetings as you said this morning. he is going through the motions here. one thing about the russia investigation, his reluctance to talk about the country at all

has given some concern and worry among european leaders, looking for the u.s. president, new u.s. president to speak out against the invasion into ukraine, crimea, the aggression of the russian president. the silence of russia, which is a strategy for the white house is playing out to a different degree. the lawyer for jared kushner issued a statement about the story you talked about. let's look at that statement. it says this. it says mr. kushner participated in thousands of calls in this time period. he has no recollection of the calls as described. we have asked for the dates of such alleged calls so we may look into it and respond but haven't yet received such information. they're not denying he made phone calls, saying they don't have the information. they stress he is not a target

of the investigation. the reality, the russia investigation has grown and deepened in the week the president has been away. again, he comes back to this as being one of his many, many things that are waiting for him when he returns to the white house tonight. >> certainly does. jeff zeleny. thank you so much. appreciate it. let's bring in the washington bureau chief for chicago sun times, lynn sweet. good morning to you. there are several reports here we want to discuss. let's start with "the washington post" that jared kushner wanted to initiate this secret line of communication with the kremlin. it is 2:00 p.m. where the president is. there's not been a response from the white house via twitter from the president and as jeff zeleny just said, the president is following every incremental detail of this. what do you glean from silence from the white house and the president? >> i glean from this that somehow there's some discipline that president trump imposed upon himself or has imposed on him because of all of the

stories and reports from the unfolding russian saga, this one is the most damaging, it is hard to see how jared can continue in the world he has without this allegation hanging over him being a major distraction. having said that, victor, the silence from the trump camp is better if you look at the damage that could be done if trump starts tweeting out things that could get him in further hot water. these tweets aren't harmless, you talk about potential obstruction of justice, what trump was involved in. the tweets could be used against him. serious turn of events. from the trump staff team perspective, nothing is better than the wrong thing. >> you make a good point here, your question is how can jared kushner continue in his role as senior adviser. some called him the secretary of

everything. his portfolio includes china, updating the government innovation, mid east peace, mexico. let's put up the three members of the trump administration who have been part of this russia investigation, this discussion, and start with michael flynn who had to resign after the truth came out about his communications with sergei kislyak. attorney general jeff sessions after the truth came out about his conversations with the russian ambassador, and those meetings that he had, he had to recuse himself from the investigation. what does a kushner i guess consequence mean to the white house, considering he is so involved with so many topics on the president's agenda? >> well, we could take it from the most basic, his judgment. "the washington post" story had an interesting line in it, victor, this could have been the most naive stumble into a situation. why this is so dangerous for

jared is that no matter what they want to discuss, policy or otherwise, the idea that you would even suggest using a russian so-called secure line which is not secure for the russians, it means the russians would know what you're talking about and not your own team, so talk about the height of nie he havity. what judgment is this of someone that has in his portfolio all of the items you just mentioned. the functionality of jared kushner is now i think in question because the prudent course of events is to leave it to your lawyer, not say much of anything, he is not much of a talkative public figure anyway, but this is the president's top adviser has a big cloud hanging over him in the worst potential scandal of the administration.

>> the russians would disclose how they have secret communications to the president's senior adviser, and that the fbi would not see kushner or whomever the designee was to have the conversations may expose some of that naivity. lynn sweet, thank you. we will continue the conversation through the day. >> thank you, victor. more breaking news to talk about. new revelations that fired fbi director james comey acted on russian intel he knew to be false while investigating hillary clinton's e-mail during the 2016 campaign. >> cnn chief political correspondent dana bash has details. >> reporter: victor, christi, cnn learned that then fbi director james comey knew a critical piece of information related to the hillary clinton e-mail investigation was fake, but felt he needed to take action anyway because he was concerned that if the information became public, it

would junundermine the investigation and justice department itself. this is according to multiple sources according to colleagues. these concerns a major factor in comey deciding to publicly declare the clinton probe was over last summer without consulting then attorney general loretta lynch. you may remember earlier this week, "the washington post" reported on this intelligence and doubts about its credibility. the fact that comey felt he had to act based on russian disinformation is a stark example of how russian interference impacted decision making at the highest level of the u.s. government during the 2016 campaign. the russian information at issue claimed to show attorney general lynch had been compromised in the clinton investigation because of e-mails between then dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz and a political operative, saying lynch would make the fbi probe into clinton go away. according to one government

official in classified briefings, comey told lawmakers he was afraid that the information would, quote, drop and undermine the investigation, but comey didn't tell lawmakers he doubted the accuracy of the information, even in a classified setting a few months ago. according to sources close to comey, the fbi director felt validity of the information didn't matter because if it became public, they had no way to discredit it without burning sources and methods. think about the chain of events all of this helps fend off. when comey had a press conference in july, 2016 announcing no charges against clinton, he took an extraordinary and many say inappropriate step of calling her extremely careless. clinton aides are convinced her reputation was damaged with voters and she never recovered. that probably wouldn't have happened without russian interference. also, talking to many officials on capitol hill and elsewhere, dissemination of fake information is still a major

issue. multiple sources tell us russia is trying to spread false information to cloud and confuse on-going investigations. victor, christi? >> again, thank you so much. three big headlines this morning. all three involving russia. we will take you live to moscow and see what their reaction is this morning. also, two men have been stabbed to death after trying to stop an anti-muslim rant. you'll see the cell phone video recorded in the aftermath. also we know so many of you are hitting the road for memorial day holiday weekend. the trump administration is considering tightening security in the skies. how new regulations regarding that electronics ban may effect what happens in the next few days. stay close.

this morning, russia is watching headlines regarding president trump's son-in-law and senior adviser. jared kushner contacts with russian ambassador sergei kislyak. "the washington post" is reporting kushner wanted to establish a secret means of communication with the kremlin. >> cnn clare sebastian is live from moscow this hour. what are you hearing from russian leaders there? >> reporter: well, christi, reemphasize that political chaos in washington. the russian foreign ministry spoke this morning, calling the report by "the washington post" mccarthyism or simply internal political squabbles. we followed up with a question on whether the foreign minister was aware jared kushner had made this request for secret communication channel, secure communication channel as reported by the post. we have seen that the ministry

was since the original report came from an intercept of communications between the russian ambassador and superiors in moscow, she would not be drown on that. we're seeing increasing rhetoric in moscow as stream of russian related news comes out of washington. the same foreign ministry spokesperson warning that the u.s. media should stop spreading lies about the russian ambassador to the u.s. had from president putin the previous week called allegations that president trump had revealed classified intel to russian officials in the oval office, called that political schizophrenia. and all the while, the russians are closely watching to see any coherent strategy or policy as relates to russia come out of washington. we know president trump is wrapping up his first overseas trip at the g7, they'll be closely watching that for any comments as relates to russia,

be it syria, ukraine, or the issue of sanctions. while they continue to dismiss reports of this, they're watching for how the politics and policy behind the situation will develop. >> no doubt. clare sebastian, thank you so much. lynwood michael cane, son of nominee tim kaine is facing several misdemeanor charges, charged with fleeing on foot, concealing identity in a public place, obstructing the legal process interfering with a peace officer. the obstruction charge carries possible sentence up to a year in prison and fine as much as $3,000. this all comes out of his arrest in march after an incident at a pro-trump rally. some in the group used smoke bombs and mays. police said they were trooid trying to run, caught a block away. now declining to press charges against kaine and others.

all week long you wait for the weekend. sometimes saturday morning still comes early. glad to have you here. i am christi paul. >> victor blackwell. good to be with you. new threads in the russian investigation. "the washington post" putting out one of three big headlines in just the last 16 hours. you see the others from reuters and "new york times." from the post, the president's son-in-law, jared kushner, also a senior adviser, proposed a secret communication channel with the kremlin at a meeting last december. this morning, "new york times" says it was to discuss strategy in syria and policy issues. the meeting was attended by

former national security adviser michael flynn and russian ambassador sergei kislyak. listen to what cnn national security analyst juliette kayyem told us this could mean last hour. >> this is not a back channel as people in law enforcement and national security came to sort of understand back channel. back channel is actually a president or president-elect uses the resources of government to sort of secretly start a communication with a country, let's say cuba or burma to begin to lay ground work for more public diplomacy. this is jared going rogue. but the idea the russians were going to open up their own apparatus, intelligence apparatus to a 30 something son-in-law of a president-elect is just -- it so defies any sort of good explanation, that the best explanation for kushner at this stage is he is incredibly

naive. >> the fbi investigation into president trump's russia ties has been inching closer to the white house as you know. at this point, kushner is not a target of the probe. there are no allegations that he committed any wrongdoing, want to be very clear about that. but the latest report could serve as yet another distraction as the president meets with world leaders at the g7 summit in italy. last hour sat down for a working lunch, pictures from that. before the president heads back to the u.s., he will speak to american soldiers stationed nearby later today. >> cnn international editor nic robertson is in cicely. any reaction to reporting on jared kushner from the post and times? >> reporter: as you know, president trump isn't giving a press conference here, his national security adviser did give an on the record briefing, hr mcmaster when he was asked about jared kushner's connections with the russian

ambassador in washington, he declined to answer that. he said we are here at the g7, focusing on that. indeed shut down that question. we know, however, that reuters is reporting from their sources which are seven former and current u.s. officials that they say between april last year and november last year that jared kushner had undisclosed contacts, yes, undisclosed contacts with the russian ambassador, sergei kislyak in washington that included at least two phone calls. his lawyer has said, jamie gorelick, said that at this time he had thousands of communications with many, many different people at that particular time. again, reuters is concluding this new round of reporting that this doesn't indicate kushner has done anything wrong at this stage, it is another detail layering upon information that

"the washington post" has already published. as i say from here, hr mcmaster shutting down a question on that last night. >> same thing from gary kohn. nic robertson interest sit lee. thanks very much. world leaders looking for change on the climate change accord. the president tweeted about the issue. we will talk about that. and two men stabbed to death trying to stop an anti-muslim ranl rant. what the suspect yelled at officers when they tracked him down. you'll see the video.

some breaking news to share with you now. major delays for british airways passengers. the airline says they're experiencing a, quote, global system outage. it doesn't sound good. british airways says it grounded all flights from london

airports. this statement was released from the airline. we apologize to customers facing delays following an it outage. we are working to resolve the problem quickly as possible. all flights grounded out of london. more information as it develops. happy travels to you. we're going to cancel the paris climate agreement and stop, unbelievable, and stop all payments of the united states tax dollars to u.n. global warming programs. >> that was then candidate trump, determined during the campaign. one of several times he said he would can sell the paris climate agreement. after pressure from world leaders at the g7 summit, aides say the president is, this is a quote, evolving on climate change. moments ago, minutes ago, the president tweeted i will make final decision on the paris accord next week.

this comes after several announcements of decision that have been delayed. really no matter what decision he makes, it is likely to further divide this administration that's already dealing with so many issues. steven moore, cnn senior economist and economics analyst and former economic adviser to the trump campaign, and elizabeth colbert, author of sixth extinction in natural history. both with us this morning. steve, i want to start with you. you advised that the president should withdraw from the agreement. are you confident that he will, that the evolving we're hearing from aides? >> i hope he keeps his promise. you played that clip of what he said on the campaign trail. heard him say it dozens of times when i traveled with him. i think it is an important promise to keep. the american people want jobs first, high wages, want to rebuild the economy. this is a climate change deal. we have done some analysis at

the heritage foundation that finds it would dramatically increase cost of energy in america. american consumers and families would pay thousands a year more for electricity prices. it would put at risk potentially millions of jobs. we become an energy powerhouse with respect to shale oil and gas, don't want those jobs at risk. if this is going to hurt jobs, then no, we should not do this deal. i think the american people agree with that. >> elizabeth, something you wrote for "the new yorker" not too long ago, you wrote that this administration has already passed up the chance to make the right decision on paris. the only choices that remain are different shades of wrong. explain. >> well, the administration has already taken steps to roll back some of the changes of the obama administration put in place. greater efficiency standards for cars that were part of the

u.s.'s commitments under paris. it will be difficult for the u.s. to meet obligations under paris, even if it stays in the agreement, which i think would be a good idea, and i have to beg to differ in that it would cost a lot of jobs, in fact the president's own economic adviser apparently on the plane back from cicely made the same point, we are already in an energy transition now. transition to natural gas is part of the paris accord. >> let me come to you with the question about jobs. i want to play what the director of the office of management and budget nick mulvaney said a few months ago about the priorities of this administration. let's watch. >> regarding the question as to climate change, i think the president was straightforward, we're not spending money on that any more. we consider that to be a waste of your money to go out and do that. that's a specific tie to his campaign. >> and the white house set up

this dichotomy between policies relating to climate and job growth. there are clean energy jobs and that sector is growing, is it not? >> is that to me? >> that's to you, steven. >> on the jobs being created, they're in fossil fuel industry, we're seeing massive increases of people working in oil and gas industry. by the way, donald trump fulfilled one of his promises where he said he would rebuild the coal industry in america. we have seen 45,000 increased jobs since donald trump took office. i traveled around to a lot of coal towns in america that were decimated by obama's regulations that just destroyed communities and families. this is the kind of cost that we would see throughout the economy with this kind of climate change fan at sichl that the left is propagating on america. you look at the opinion polls, it is clear. top two concerns of americans are jobs and the economy and

wages. climate change is somewhere around 20, 25 on the list of what people are concerned about. we shouldn't pay $100 billion, there's essentially a payment america has to make of $100 billion. can you think of how many jobs we could create with $100 billion? >> elizabeth, i didn't get an answer from steven on the clean energy jobs. i did see, we put on the screen to be fair the numbers of the mining industry, 31,000 since inauguration, about 46,000 since the election. elizabeth, to you, what do you make of that job growth in the mining sector and what's your degree of confidence that the president will withdraw or stay in the paris accord? >> look, everyone agrees, this includes high level members of executives in the fossil fuel industry that we need a

transition to clean energy and coal is the energy of the past, and renewable is the energy of the future. if we want to prop up jobs, that's precisely what the trump administration vowed not to do, to sort of go backwards. we want to go forwards and propping up coal is just according to all economic analyses the wrong way to go. in terms of what the trump administration is going to do, that is anybody's guess. they have very mixed signals on that. >> can i say one quick thing. >> we have to wrap it there. >> there's a resolution. let the senate ratify this as a treaty. >> thank you both. police say two men have been stabbed to death after trying to stop an anti-muslim rant. next as public rants seem to be on the rise, one group says the president could help stop them.

again, it happened so fast. it looked like every punch that i saw was actually a stab. >> chase robertson thought he was watching a fist fight, but in fact the witness saw two men getting stabbed to death on a commuter train in portland, oregon. >> this happened after they tried to confront a passenger who was yelling anti-muslim slurs at two other passengers. the suspect, 35-year-old jeremy joseph christian, is facing two charges of aggravated murder and several other charges this morning. police say he may have been targeting two young women, one wearing a hi jab, when several tried to intervene and they were stabbed. one man died at the scene, the other died at the hospital. a third man was also stabbed after he tried to help.

he is expected to survive. the suspect was caught after he left the train and yelled at officers to shoot him. police say they're considering his remarks to be hate speech. adrian hooper is with us now. he is with the national communications director for council on american islamic relations. mr. hooper, we appreciate you being here. thank you. what is your reaction, first of all, to this? >> i think this is just representative unfortunately of the overall rise in bigotry in our nation within the last months and a year, particularly during the presidential campaign and since the election in november. we've seen minorities increasing increasing increasingly targeted with violence, american muslims targeted, mosques targeted, african americans, refugees,

immigrants, overall rise in bigotry unfortunately provoked to a large degree by president trump's rhetoric, his appointments, his policy proposals, these things have led to an atmosphere in our society in which it seems to be acceptable to target minorities. >> mr. hooper, what would you say to the president if you could sit down with him? do you think he could help alleviate some of these problems here? >> yes. he needs to speak out directly and forcefully against this rising tide of bigotry. when the person at the top sets the tone either in a negative or positive way, it makes a difference, and he really needs to speak out against particularly anti-muslim bigotry as we saw in this case. so often you see american muslim

women who wear head scarves or islamic attire targeted in this way. it wasn't just muslims that were targeted, this person was apparently ranting about different groups as well. >> and attacked people that tried to intervene to help. >> we're seeing more minority groups being targeted and particularly american muslims at this time when the president and his administration is really focusing on islam and muslims. >> ibrahim hooper with council on american-islamic relations. thank you for sharing perspective with us this morning. we appreciate it. sort of a physical violence, maybe you've seen videos on commuter train or airport or grocery store, more and more of these racist rants seem to be happening in public. >> not only in public, but then recorded on smart phones and

uploaded online. you might be wondering what's driving this, and could in some way it spark a positive change? here is polo sandoval. >> reporter: a series of racist rants in public. and on camera. a woman in a virginia sprint store hurled a racial slur at a fellow customer. in arkansas. >> i said excuse me. >> reporter: go back to mexico is what this walmart shopper told another. >> we're in america. >> reporter: she then fired the "n" word at a woman looking to interject. >> stop being ignorant. >> reporter: then what orlando resident hector torres caught on his phone at the airport last week. >> shut up. shut up! >> that is sad. glad to document it.

>> reporter: he was speaking spanish to his puerto rican mother on the phone when things got heated. >> explain. >> talking to that stupid spanish [bleep], english speaking american. >> reporter: racist rants aren't new says the director of institute for the study of race and difference at emory university. >> these videos remind us that race has been a constant, persistent problem in the united states. >> reporter: been a spike in the number of racist rants posted on social media, experts say. >> as technology becomes even more and more main streamed and more and more people are having smart phone devices and video capability, it is just going to be exploding more and more. >> reporter: recording these kinds of confrontations may empower people to expose the racism, says gillespie. there could also be a trump factor behind it all. >> people perhaps feel more embolden to express politically incorrect points of view as a result of president trump's

ability to use that as a tool to be elected president. i think it is important to know these people held these points of view long before donald trump emerged as a political figure. >> reporter: videos may be ugly. but gillespie calls them a launching point for a larger conversation about race. polo sandoval, cnn, atlanta. with roundup precision gel®, you can finally banish garden weeds without harming precious plants nearby. so draw the line. just give the stick one click, touch the leaves and the gel stays put killing garden weeds to the root with pinpoint precision. draw the line with roundup precision gel®. and be sure to check out roundup® with sure shot wand. another good-for-the-garden product from roundup.
