wrapping up his remark at arlington national scemetery. we continue to honor those who have died on this memorial day. i want to welcome our viewers as we roll into the top of next hour. we are watching a number of developing stories on this memorial day. moments ago president trump paying tribute to america's fallen soldiers there at arlington national cemetery. this is the video from earlier where he laid the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. plus the president's son-in-law jared kushner is facing new scrutiny over allegations he discussed setting up a secret communications channel with russia. and more trouble surrounding golf star tiger woods. the 14-time major champion has been arrested for alleged dui in florida. we'll have those details. on this memorial day, as we honor the men and women who sacrifice their lives for this country, president trump marking

the day at arlington national cemetery. again, here's the video laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns and then giving some remarks just moments ago, his first remark since returning to the u.s. from his nine-day trip abroad paying tribute to the families of the fallen just moments ago. meanwhile president trump is also trying to overcome the mounting questions about rush and the ongoing investigation surrounding his administration. this a accepsense that administn is moving into a new phase in terms of how they're handling the russia investigation. >> the word is there is talk of putting together a war room. that's the terminology being used. a war room that would tasked with answering questions about the russia investigation and also developing a communications strategy. we're talking about a whole separate team of folks who would be folkscused solely on the

questions surrounding this russia investigation and also coming up with a way to kind of counteract the narrative that has developed. that could be a tall order. this is one of the things being discussed, because we know the president is both distracted by and very unhappy about this ongoing investigation and the hope is that if you have a team in place to focus on that they could find a way to get their message out during this what would likely be a very long series of investigations. still no word yet on who exactly will make up this team, but some former campaign hands have been mentioned, possibly coming back into the white house or working with the white house in an outside capacity. folks like cory lieuen dow ski. that's another thing we're watching in the coming days to

see who's on that team and what they try to do. >> what's the latest on jared kushner, the president's son-in-law, one of the top advisers who has come under scrutiny when it comes to the russia investigation after reports he had tried to establish some kind of back channel actually setting up some kind of diplomatic channel at a russian diplomatic facility here in the u.s. during the transition? what's the latest from the white house in terms of how they're dealing with that news? >> well, this is highly unusual. it's raised a lot of eyebrows, a lot of concerns among folks outside the house. within the house they're coming to jared kushner defense. we saw homeland security secretary john kelly say this is not a big deal. having an open line of communication with any country, back channel or not, is a good thing. we also saw the president himself giving a statement to "the new york times" last night that said in part, jared is doing a great job for the

country, i have total confidence in him. that statement went on to say he is respected by virtually everyone. he's working on programs that will save the u.s. billions of dollars and that he's a good person. the white house is clearly frustrated with the focus on this russia investigation. but it seems like every day or so or every other day, certainly every week, there are new developments coming out in the news. new reports. so that is why they're looking to put together a special communications team to deal with this. >> athena jones at the white house for us. thank you. after coming off his first overseas trip, president trump not getting a vote of confidence from one of america's closest allies. german chancellor angela merkel said europeans must take their fate into their own hands adding they can no longer completely rely on the u.s. >> translator: the times where we could completely count on others, they're over to a certain extent. i've experienced this in the last few days and that is why i can only say that we europeans must really take our fate into our own hands.

>> let's bring in cnn senior international correspondent fred pleitgen. fred, how should the u.s. interpret those comments? >> that the germans simply don't know where america stands. i think some of the things that angela merkel heard on president trump's trip to europe last week, specifically in brussels, but also at that nato trip in italy, really made her feel as though america might not be fully reliable or at least the sense the germans be fully reliable as a partner to the ju germans. i think several things stood out. one was when president trump was highly critical of other nato nations saying they needed to pay up more. also not being leer that america fully stands behind other nato countries. and then he appeared to attack the germans also in a newspaper article where he gave an interview where he apparently criticized the germans for importing too many -- exporting too many cars to america saying that the germans were very bad. so those are two things that

certainly didn't sit very well. and it really shows that the germans, i think they want to increase their ties with countries like france in europe, f but it really seems as though theo is alienated by president trump. >> i want to bring in our panel. cnn contributor ben ferguson, bill press, and kaitlyn burns, national political reporter for real clear politics. ben, i'll start with you. is that what president trump wanted out of this first meeting to have u.s. allies now questioning the strength of their alliance? >> look, i think what you're seeing here is a big game being played of basically leverage. i understand where the german chancellor is coming from. she doesn't like dealing with a strong american leader. they were able to get their way for the last eight years and she's making it very well known that her relationship in her views is different. for many it should be different. i think it is going to be

different. you have a much tougher stance from this president and he is going to make it very clear what our interests are around the world. that doesn't mean we're not going to be close with our allies. but i also think it was a bad decision by angela merkel to isolate herself in this way. when you come out and you talk this way, and then if you need something down the road for the united states of america, it puts you in a bad position. i think all of her citizens should be concerned about that. why make these statements right out of this meeting and basically go into a rhetoric war with the united states just because you don't like how easy it's going to be to deal with this president? that's just not smart foreign policy or diplomacy move. >> bill, what's your take on merkel's remarks? vladimir putin must be smiling now. >> first of all, if you talk about not smart foreign policy, i think we just saw an example on the part of our president of the most boorish ignorant foreign policy we've seen.

angela merkel was reflecting reality. the united states is not reliable anymore as a partnership particularly in europe or around the world. i think that is very -- should be very troubling for all americans. particularly this european partnership. look, this is 70 plus years of strategic partnerships in strayed, in intelligence, very important in national security. built by republican and democratic presidents, especially republican presidents. put together by dwight eisenhower. reinforced by richard nixon and both bush presidents. this is something that has been sort of the hallmark of american foreign policy. for donald trump to go there and trash it in two days i think is deplorable. who does it benefit? the other guy who wants to destroy -- let me finish. >> nothing was trashed. >> the other guy that wants to destroy the european union which is vladimir putin. >> kaitlyn, i want to bring you into the conversation. speaking of putin, we have heard him and the president make

comments about how bad their relationship is and the relationship between the u.s. and russia. but then to hear these words from somebody like a german leader, one of our closest allies in the west, bring some perspective in terms of how bad it really is. >> sure. one of our closest allies in the west in a really big contrast between donald trump and merkel and of course president obama and merkel who were very, very close. but this shouldn't be all entirely surprising that donald trump is having special response to merkel and she is having this response to him given what we saw in the rhetoric of donald trump on the campaign trail really criticizing merkel as a -- as the german leader, really critical of her immigration stances. remember this was amid the refugee crisis. and so what he was trying to do abroad was really speak to his campaign promises, really putting pressure on nato. but it came off -- it came under

criticism of course because of the venue and because there are allies really concerned about how the u.s. is going to operate in this venue. he wasn't explicitly supportive of the mutual defense pact which also alarmed a lot of allies and of course put this in the context of the russia investigation and what this all means, particularly as that story looms over the white house. >> it isn't just germany but france as well. a lot has been said about that handshake. now we're getting macron's side of the story saying this was not an innocent gesture. he wanted to send a message to president trump through this handshake, essentially that the french raren't going to be walkd all over. why would that even be necessary? >> look, again, this is i think what you see as some of the elitism of europe. in many ways they cannot stand the fact that donald trump was elected. when they go out into their

countries, it is popular with a lot of their base to say we stood up to donald trump. look, these countries are not going to have their way with america financially with our financial commitments, but also we're not going to sit back and be quiet if there's something going on that we disagree with. so i really don't have an issue with any one of these leaders flexing their muscles in their countries so they look like yeah, we stuck it to the united states. i just think it's a bad move by them. at some point you are going to need the united states assistance in some capacity. is it really worth it for you to go out there in a political way where there's a camera and to flex your muscles just so you can look bigger than you really -- to your people? i don't know if that's a very smart move. let me also say one other thing. nothing disintegrated on this trip with the president. what bill was implying a moment ago is the president went over there and blew something up, some massive long history record. nothing has changed on paper. let's be clear about that. what the president said was i am

willing to talk to you directly about some of the shortcomings and some of these agreements, but to imply that something changed with our foreign policy is just not accurate. it's all rhetoric. >> you know i appreciate the long peacspeech, ben but -- >> just a moment. i will give you a second to respond. i do want to call attention to what we're looking at in these live pictures. this is the vehicle carrying the president arriving at arlington national scemetery. passing through section 60. that's where barbara starr has been reporting from. very moving section in a place of real i think reflection for folks today because these are some of the men and women who sacrificed their lives in the wars in the past decade plus and afghanistan, in iraq, and so, again, just wanted to take a moment to look at this moment and to see the president and to,

again, talk a little bit about the day that this is, being memorial day. bill, i'll give you a moment to respond to ben, but first, let's just stick with this for a moment. i'd like to get your response, bill, to what we heard from the president today in his speech honoring the service members and the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. >> i thought it was a very moving moment, a very -- a wonderful speech that the president gave this morning which was i thought just the right tone. recognized the fallen heroes, including the -- some of whose relatives were there at the ceremony. he spoke i believe for all of us americans in recognizing this day and the sacrifice that so many have made to keep us free. and watching that ceremony, that's one i think all americans today are united behind the president in his remarks certainly at arlington national

cemetery. that gives us the freedom to appear on national television and disagree about some of the policies of this president, which is one thing that makes america great. so just getting back to that, i just wanted to point out, it was the president who went to europe and insulted them on their territory. i do not fault the europeans for responding. >> okay. thanks, bill. ben, and kaitlyn. stick around. i want to go barbara starr there. walk us through the scene there as the president just passed by and is there among the crowd that we see. >> right. the president as we can see and i hope you're seeing some of these pictures has just gotten out of his limb seosuine. he is moving into section 60. these military families are very grateful for any attention brought to their fallen loved ones. nothing here right now is about

politics. this is about military families and paying respect to the fallen. we believe that the secretary of homeland security, retired general john kelly is at his side. we are led to believe they will make their way. you see the crush of people. they are going to make their way towards the grave side of general kelly's son who was killed a few years ago in action in afghanistan. we believe that that is where they are headed. but the president being surrounded now by many of those who have been here, many of those who have been here throughout the morning. we have seen people come and go. many people planning to spen the day here at grave side at their loved ones. you see a lot of photographers, a lot of families with cell

phones obviously chl the president moving on a little bit being escorted. i see that the vice president, vice president pence is also with him. and they are moving down this line. the president waving to so many of the military families who are here. this is -- the president carrying flowers we see. a very unscripted moment for president trump in a way. because he's stopping and talking to families and other military personnel who are here. often what we saw with president obama, what we saw with vice president biden, these families want to talk for a few minutes. they want to tell of their loved one. they want to tell why they are here. and this place, why you see so many people in this one spot of

arlington, this is hallowed ground. this is section 60. 890 souls killed in action on the battle field since 9/11 are buried here. many of them of course killed at very young ages fighting in afghanistan, fighting in authentic. and even the ones -- the last couple of killed in action, we saw that they were just something like 22 years old. so when you see that, you realize that on 9/11 they were small children who nonetheless grew up to join the military and serve the country. and the president right now listening very intently, obviously we believe some military family speaking to him about their loved ones. that's what we usually see here at section 60. there's sort of this motto never forget and that's what military

families, it's so important to them, that the country doesn't forget and the people do not forget the sacrifices made. >> we heard the president saying that multiple times during his speech as well, that we will not forget and we honor their devotion, their courage. he gave a special shout out to every gold star family saying, quote, god is with you and your loved ones are with him and he also acknowledged those unknown soldiers who have died saying they are united in their act of loyalty and love for our country and paying the ultimate sacrifice. we're staying with these live pictures here, barbara, as we see the president again holding flowers as he's working his way through the crowd there. go ahead. >> he is making his way to the grave of general kelly's son now. how do you describe for every military family unbearable

sadness, unbearable grief? but for -- and the president

having laid flowers -- what i am -- i believe that's general mcmaster, his national security adviser. he's shaking hands with there in uniform. the pot posing for a picture with the young person there. what i am so struck by and i want to speak more quietly is the silence here. there is silence surrounding the president. this is a president who is often surrounded by cheering crowds. by his supporters. what you have right now is something we don't often see with president trump. he is surrounded by total silence, some applause breaking out. a very, very dignified visit, if

you will, to section 60. talking with some of the people here. but a moment really of pause and reflection from the commander in chief. and that's really what this place is b. there aabout. there are no politics at grave sides. there are families very much even after so many years for some of them still very much in grief here. that's what today is about. to pause, remember, reflect, pay respect, and the president is stopping again i see to talk to more military families here. there are an awful lot of small children here who will grow up and remember that they met the president of the united states. that is something for all of these people here today to remember. >> and we don't know, barbara, we don't know if -- excuse me, but if i could just say, you

know, in sharing this moment with you and with our viewers, barbara, when you talk about those small children who are also there, while we don't know exactly how all of the folks who are in the cemetery today are connected, if they have personally lost loved ones, safe to assume at least some of them, and many of them probably have. you see these children and some of them have lost their fathers, their mothers in service. it does become very real as we reflect on the fact that we have tens of thousands deployed over seas and we still have folks in the combat zones. we have those who lost lives and we also want a moment to remember and thank those who are continuing to serve our country. we see the camera panning up as there are some flights overhead perhaps as part of military tributes. our thanks to barbara starr. we're going to take a quick break here and thanks for staying with us. we'll be back in just a moment.

he was actually arrested about ten miles south of his home and just for reference, jupiter, florida, is about 90 miles north of miami. now, we looked at online records and those records show that he was booked at 7:18 this morning. he was later released at 10:50 this morning. on his own recognizance. meaning he didn't post bail. he was released, though. we are chasing a few other details because it is unclear whether he tested positive for driving under the influece of drugs or alcohol. it's also unclear if he was the only person in the vehicle, so we're chasing all of that now. as for what he's been up to lately, he's been recovering from his fourth surgery, so he's been out of the touring scene, out of the golfing scene, out of the professional scene since february. but he has been blogging, his

last blog actually saying that he's feeling a lot better after this last surgery. but again, ana, tiger woods arrested on suspicion of dui and he was released at about 10:first th10:50 this morning. >> seeing his mug shot there. not the tiger woods we're used to seeing when we see him on the golf course. we know there was a big tournament this weekend that he did not participate in as you mention as he recovers from his injury. thanks for that information. we know you're working to get more details. we'll check back. coming up, the russian investigation into meddling t. s it's widening now. we'll dig into that coming up. so there are no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives in any of the food we sell. we believe in real food. whole foods market.

security secretary john kelly saying that he's not concerned about it. listen. >> whatever the communication is comes back into the government and shared across the government, so it's not a bad thing to have multiple communication lines to any government. >> using their equipment in their diplomatic facilities? >> well, again, don't know all -- i don't know if all of that is true. i would just say that any line of communication to a country, particularly a country like russia, is a good thing. >> president trump also defended has son-in-law in his statement saying, quote, jared is doing a great job for the country. i have total confidence in him. he is respected by virtually everyone and is working on programs that will save our country billions of dollars. in addition to that he is a very good person. joining me to discuss, bill press, ben ferguson, cnn political commentator, and

kaitlyn huey burns. welcome back, guys. thanks for sticking around. we just got some new sound that dropped from senator john mccain. we just heard from john kelly, but mccain has a different take. listen. >> my view of it is i don't like it. i just don't -- i know that some administration officials are saying well, that's standard procedure. i don't think it's standard procedure prior to the inauguration of a president of the united states by someone who is not in an appointed position. >> ben, how concern suggest this new reporting about jared kushner in your mind? >> it's not that concerning to me. first off, with what john mccain just said there, there's an awful lot of people that are not appointed before january 20th, but there's a yen they careason call it a tran sessisition team.

we would expect anyone about become the united states of america to make sure to have an open dialogue day one with other countries, especially countries like russia. we would want and encourage there to be a communication dialogue there that they can have a ra port. on january 20th if something happens in the world, you don't want to be calling for the very first time and have no diplomatic relations or no personal connections with foreign leaders. you want to make sure that you start off if it is a bad day for the world being able to have a real conversation. >> i hear you. i hear you. why do it in a secret way suggesting he would go to russia diplomatic facilities to have conversations with the president so that it wouldn't be an arena in which american officials would know about it? >> again, this is the key word allegedly they're saying this is how it would have been set up. we don't know that for a fact. second thing is this. you want to be able to have a blunt conversation with foreign leaders. sometimes you need to make those foreign leaders and their

countries feel comfortable enough to have a real conversation with you because i think it's very clear from all the leaks that have come out with russia in general that they did not trust having a conversation with the united states through the channels that many would refer to as, quote, traditional. so if you need to have a blunt conversation and you can't always have that conversation face to face, that is not an issue for me, especially if it deals with our interest and also issues of national security. look at the leaks that just came out of the white house meeting with the ambassador. can you have another blunt conversation moving forward? and that conversation from what we understand was actually about national security of people flying on planes including americans that could be targeted by isis and terrorists with bombs on a plane. that's a conversation i want to make sure that world leaders have. not one where they hold because they're afraid someone might actually tell it to the public. >> bill s this an issue to you? >> equal time?

let me just say this. first of all i think this is amateur hour at best on the part of jared kushner. two things to be concerned about. one is substance. jared kushner, december, 2016 has an off the record unannounced meeting with ambassador kislyak and some big russian banker talking about establishing a back channel communication to russia using russian equipment. phrases at least two questions. why russia? that seized crimea, that's invaded ukraine, that's bombed the hell out of syria. why russia and who told jared kushner to hold this meeting? you know he did not act alone. on the optics, what we're going to see right now is not just outsiders like michael flynn or paul manafort or carter page testifying in front of congress. but a member of the president's inner circle. a member from the -- right from inside the oval office now. >> in the current

administration. >> in this administration. i don't care how you slice it. that is not good for the president trump white house. >> kaitlyn, we heard from the president that statement we read at the top of the segment saying essentially he stands behind jared kushner, but "the new york times" is reporting that some inside the administration is suggesting there is some daylight that's starting to develop. what does that tell you? >> i think that's going to be really interesting to watch, because you talk to experts and say this kind of investigation is going to last a really long time. this is not just a couple of weeks or a couple of month. given jared kushner portfolio within the white house as we know, he is working on a variety of different issues reportedly in the white house. he is the closest person there to the president to have this lingering over him really threatens the agenda in other ways. but we also know in terms of being an adviser to the

president that he has also played a critical role. to see some of that tension play out is something we haven't seen really publicly before. but i also wanted to hit on a note bill mentioned is that this was after we knew that russia had meddled in the election. so to open -- to talk about -- >> timing. >> exactly. context and timing is important here. that undisclosed meeting with the russian bank was also a key part during transition. >> hold on. let's be clear. >> ben, we'll give you a quick. >> the president had been elected. he was president-elect. you can't have it both ways. a moment ago bill said we know that jared kushner didn't act on his own. now we're saying that there's tension between the president and jared kushner like he went rogue on his own. you can't have it both ways here with all the conspiracy theories. the fact is the president was elected and the president has people around him that are actually --

>> make your point, ben and let bill respond. >> the president was elected with the help of russia. we know that now. kaitlyn's point is excellent. >> that's just not accurate. >> yes, it is. 17 intelligence agencies. 17 intelligence agencies versus ben ferguson, i believe the 17 intelligence agencies. >> one at a time. >> let me make my point, please. the fact -- caitlyn's point is very, very valid. to sit bound with these russians after what they did to interfere with our democracy, the timing at least is very suspect. thank you for letting me finish. >> okay, guys, we've got to leave it there now ben and bill and kracaitlyn. thank you all. we've talked about several intelligence officials. they've repeated this is not something that's in the norm of their own personal experience. we'll continue to search for answers and the facts. thanks again, guys. more arrests in that manchester

so yeah, this does kind of fit in with the potential for continued terrorist attacks, but i believe and it's based on experiences i've had in europe that the various european countries are continuing to try and disrupt these attacks through the sharing and the use of various intelligence methods. but it's becoming more and more problematic, ana. >> doug, there is really no equivalent in history, because the use of social media and our advancement in technology seems to be working in the favor of terrorists. >> well, that's right. i mean, remember when president obama grabbed ahold of the arab spring and thought that maybe social media was going to help the spread of global democracy. it may in some places. social media that sneaks into china might be helping with the human rights movement. by and large it's become a tool

for nefarious outlaws to organize. we constantly have been to be ardent in fighting against this new form of let's call it cyber nuttiness. the fact that young people are susceptible to what's being put online. hopefully the trump administration will be focussing on ways to shut down the use of social media in some of these places like syria, libya and other countries. >> toii want to ask about north korea. three ballistic missile launches in as many weeks in three weeks or even less. general hertling, we heard from the president today on twitter talking about this. north korea has shown great disrepo disrepo dis-republic dis -- disrespect to their neighbor. interesting that he puts the ball in china's court in a lot of ways in that tweet. >> i'm not sure -- i read that

tweet this morning and i'm not sure exactly what it means. first of all, this is disrespect to all the world by the north koreans. they have been sanctioned by the ni united nations and other countries. and it's more than just china. we're's part of this disrespect as well as japan and south korea. to lump it all in china's lap to solve isn't the correct approach. i think the president and his administration as they build strategies against these kind of efforts are beginning to realize that if this had been a problem that could have been solved, it would have been solved a long time ago. all of these issues are very complex and very serious and it takes a multi national approach versus a transactional approach to solve these kind of problems. unfortunately i think we're falling bli falli falling behind based on some of the things i've seen with our

alliances as opposed to to transactional approaches. >> i'm glad you bring up the multi national approach because the president just returned from his first overseas trip. met with a number of different leaders from several different countries. douglas, how have you seen those trips affecting the president and do you see this impacting president trump? will it change him? >> well, i think it must have felt good for president trump to get out of the united states for a while. he certainly was feted in saudi arabia. i think he did well with netanyahu in isreal. things got murkery after that when he met with what should have been the easiest part of the trip. we have merkel in germany now saying that the united states, we may not be able to trust them, at least in this era. and it seems to me that donald trump is ignorant almost of the whole atlantic tradition, the we

don't insult each other. that nato tries to be a unified alliance and we don't air our dirty laundry in public. we do it behind closed doors because solidarity is so important. so i don't know who's giving him a thumbs up for the way he behaved during nato. but the nato meeting. but i think the rest of the trip was probably a net plus for him. >> douglas brinkley and general hertling, thank you. happy memorial day. general, we salute you. coming up, we'll hear from the teen who says she wouldn't be alive if not for the three strangers who stood up to hate. mu got it.

rumor confirmed. they're playing. -what? -we gotta go. -where? -san francisco. -when? -friday. we gotta go. [ tires screech ] any airline. any hotel. any time. go where you want, when you want with no blackout dates. [ muffled music coming from club. "blue monday" by new order. cheers. ] [ music and cheers get louder ] the travel rewards credit card from bank of america. it's travel, better connected.

on a day when we remember our fallen heroes, a teen is thanking the men who stood up to hate and saved her from a man with a knife on a portland train. two of the three men were killed.

destiny says the suspect, jeremy joseph christian, hurled anti-muslim slurs at her and her friend. but the heroes in the story confronted him. in turn, ricky john best, a 53-year-old military veteran was stabbed to death along with a 23-year-old, a recent college grad. the third victim, 21-year-old micah fletcher is being treated at a hospital with serious injuries. all three men were strangers to destiny and her friend. >> i just want to say thank you to the people who put their life on the line for me because they didn't even know me. and they lost their lives because of me and my friend and the way we looked. and i just want to say thank you to them and their family and that i appreciate them. because without them, we probably would be dead right now. >> joining us now, following the

developments, paola, a lot of people wondered why the president hasn't talked about this incident that happened a few days ago but he did tweet about it this morning. what did he say? >> at least a message was posted this morning after that criticism this weekend, that the comma commander come chief was not quick enough to denounce this attack and honor the three heroes who stood up for this young woman. this tweet was posted just before president trump took to arlington national cemetery for his memorial day remarks. the vooiolent attacks in portla were unacceptable. the victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. our prayers with them. this is at potus account, not the account used by the president. this account again offers prayers to the family of three heroes. i want you to hear from the

family of one of those individuals, ricky john best, a 53-year-old man who died on his way to the hospital after being stabbed. his son eric, the oldest son of this veteran speaking out describing him more as a brother than a father. >> he died fighting the good fight and protecting the innocent. that's how he would probably want it. >> and still recovering from the hospital right now as you mentioned, micah fletcher, the 21-year-old who was also seriously injured but is said to be doing okay at this hour. >> what a story and what brave re those men showed. our thanks to you and thank you for being with us at this hour. i'm monica in for kate baldwin. happy memorial day. kate should be black with you tomorrow. wolf blitzer takes it from here. have a wonderful rest of your

weekend. i'm wolf blitzer. it's 1:00 p.m. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks for joining us. president trump is back at work at the white house after wrapping up his first international trip over the weekend. the president generated some new controversies with allies in europe and coming home he's having to deal with concerns over his top adviser and son-in-law jared kushner. kushner is under fire for considering setting up a system for back channel communications with russia before president trump took office. the president had one public event on his schedule. he spoke at
