breaking overnight. manuel noriega, ousted by the u.s., has died. the final years of his life were spent behind bars. plus, new fallout from the russia probe. the president is defending his son-in-law, key adviser, jared kushner, after he reportedly discussed a secret communication channel with russia. rested on a dui charge, but this morning pro golfer tiger woods is blaming prescription medication, not alcohol, for the arrest.

good morning. it's tuesday, may 30th. i'm ayman mohyeldin alongside louis burgdorf. breaking news. panamanian strong imagine manuel noriega has died. he was stripped of power and died this morning. said to be 83 years old. his life was colorful as well as controversial. the first foreign leader to be convicted of crimes in an american court. >> reporter: manuel anothnorieg a career soler and meant to be part of a coup. he was repaid by placing him in powerful post as head of military intelligence. eventually noriega became a paid informant for the u.s., helping funnel military weapon and equipment to pro-american groups in central america. he was also a major cocaine trafficker, something u.s. intelligence handlers were aware of for years but allowed for his

usefulness for covert military operations in the region. he came to the united states as part of the delegations that negotiated the panama canal treaty. norieag took oefrt panamanian military and in 1987, complete control of the country. by this time, the united states believed noriega had become a double agent and was trafficking in drugs and selling u.s. intelligence. >> noriega is bad news for panama. >> reporter: through the 19770s and '80s, he was able to influence u.s. policy toward his country while skillfully holding near absolute power in panama. in 1988 he was indicted on drug trafficking charges by a miami court. a year later after a panamanian presidential election that was declared rigged, the u.s. imposed economic sanctions against the country. the united states invaded panama

and overthrew his government by january of 1990. he was captured as prisoner of war and flown to miami. in 1992 he was convicted of drug trafficking, racketeering and money laundering and sentenced to 40 years in prison. his u.s. prison sentence ended in 2007 but eftd by both panama and france for murder and money laundering. he was extradited to france in 2010. a year later a conditional release was granted. manuel noriega was incarcerated for the res of his life, committed for crimes during his rule. >> he had been in intensive care since march after removing a benign brain tumor. the current president barea posting, this closes a chapter of our history. his daughters and relatives

deserve to bury him in peace. president trump returned home. in a tweet the president called the trip, quote, a great success for america. hard work but big results. that was echoed by key congressional republicans including bob corker who said it was executed to near perfection. adding president trump should be commended and james mattis defended president trump's tough talk on nato. >> having been in nato officer under president bush and president obama, this is a consistent message that we have given the nato nations where president bush wanted them to pay more for the common defense. they get the best defense in the world, the nato countries and weave all got to be willing to deal with it like a bank. if you want to take something out of it, you need to put

something in. president obama said the same message to nato, you have to pay your fair share. finally during president obama's time all the nations made a commitment and wales said they would do that. what president trump is doing is consistent with both prior and democratic administrations. >> overseas their views were not as warm. in fact, frnch president macron compared him to vladimir putin saying all three see relationships in terms of a balance of power. i don't believe diplomacy by public abuse. he also called his initial white-knuckle hand shake as a moment of truth meant to ensure you are respected. you have to make sure you won't show small concessions, not even symbolic ones. angela merkel was harsher saying, the times we could depend on others is on the way out. i've spesexperienced that in th last few days.

there are new questions surrounding the president's son-in-law and adviser jared kushner and his meetings with russians during the transition. this morning's "new york times" looks at the different explanations for why kushner met with the head of a russian funded bank. he met with gorkov that's been under sanctions since 2014 and used to plant russian spies in the u.s. citing meetings with business circles of the u.s., including the head of kushner companies, at the time, jared kushner. white house spokesperson said the meetings was an effort to improve relations with russia and identify areas of possible cooperation and that kushner's personal business was not discussed during the half hour. it really wasn't much of a conversation, she said in march, adding, remains open to talking with investigators. the meeting has gained more

scrutiny after friday night washington post report that sergey kislyak told his superiors in moscow that kushner had propose aid secret channel during a meeting in early december. kislyak saying kushner wanted to use russian diplomatic facilities to communicate. kislyak later set up the meeting between kushner and gorkov. >> right now i'm going with naivety. that's not particularly very comforting for me. i mean, what manner of ignorance, chaos, ubress, suspicion, contempt would you have to have to think doing this with the russian ambassador was a good or an appropriate idea? >> just from a theoretical standpoint i will tell you my dash boerld warning light was clearly on. i think that was the case with all of us in the intelligence community. very concerned about the nature

of these approaches to the russians. >> i do think there ought to be a review of his security clearance to find out whether he was truthful, whether he was candid. if not, then there's no way we can maintain that kind of a clearance. >> i know jared. he's a great guy, decent guy. his number one interest really is the nation. there's a lot of different ways to communicate back chanlted, publicly with other countries. i don't see any big issue here relative to jared. >> joining us now from washington, d.c., national political reporter for axios, jonathan swan. good morning to you. president trump issued a statement about kushner sunday night. it reads, jared it 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 bls of dollars. in addition to that, he is a very good person. question to you, does jared kushner have the loyalty of everyone else in the white house or just the man that matters the most? >> not even close. he's got donald trump's loyalty, his son-in-law, but jared kushner has made a lot of enemies in the white house. there's a number of people in there who resent the position he's in. they privately call him prince jared. i know that directly. i can tell you there's been a number of people in the white house have been waiting for this moment of weakness to pile on jared kushner. you've seen that in the last 72 hours with this flood of news stories, with anonymous people saying things about jared that have are not very flattering, saying they've got concerns about these contacts. i would add this layer of context, which is this is their

moment to strike. they've been waiting to knife him and they see an opportunity now. >> i know you had reporting this weekend about democrats trying to push the russia story into other contentious topics like iran. what are you hearing about that? >> a senior senate democratic aide said we should watch for -- last week it didn't get much notice but there was a bill that passed through the senate foreign relations committee which would impose additional sanctions on iran because of their ballistic missile testing and various other nefarious behavior in the reon. now, people like joh kerry are very concerned aut this sanctions deal because it could potentially lead to the unraveling of the nuclear deal. i'm told democrats are going to demand no additional sanctions are imposed on iran unless additional sanctions are imposed on russia. this is, of course, a way to just put even more pressure on the administration. >> a little tit for tat in terms

of sanctions. thanks. president trump wasted little time following the return from his first overseas trip to once again setting his sights on one of his favorite political targets, the media. on sunday the president fired off several tweeting after touting the success of his trip. the president then tweeted, it is my opinion that many of the leaking coming out of the white house are made up by t the #fakenewsmedia. he continues, whefr you see the word sources, and they don't mention names, it's very possible those sources don't exist but are made up by fake news writers. fake news is the enemy. he then focused on the recent special election to fill the vacant house seat in montana saying, quote, does anyone notice how the montana congressional race was such a big deal to dems and fake news until the republican won? v. was poorly covered. he briefly turned his attention to domestic policy with, the

fake news media works hard at disparaging and demeaning my use of social media because they don't want america to hear the real story. meanwhile, despite pressure from g-7 nations, president trump has so far refused to endorse the paris climate accord. on sadr turday he tweeted he wi make his final decision this week. chief economic gary cohen said, they are meeting. president trump told axios plans are to leave the paris climate deal. general mattis said the president is open on the issue. >> i was sitting in on some of the discussions in brussels, by the way, where climate change came up. and the president was open. he was curious about why others were in the position they were in. his counterparts in other nations. and i'm quite certain the president is wide open on this

issue as he takes in the pros and consequence of that accord. >> if he does withdraw that would be a definitive statement by the president that he believes climate change is a hoax. it would be taken as climate change is not real. that would be bad for the party, bad for the country. tiger woods says alcohol was not a factor in his dui arrest early monday morning in florida. he cited a mix of prescription medication. in a statement woods said, quote, i understand the severity of what i did and i take full responsibility for my actions, explaining, quote, i didn't realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly. the 14-time major champion is recovering from his fourth back surgery since 2014. last week wrote, quote, i haven't felt this good in years. in his first public comments following his latest procedure in april. woods has not xlad competitively with with drawing from the dubai classic in february and has not won a pga tournament since 2013.

the last day of the texas legislative session ended in a scuffle, over the divisive new law banning sang tuary cities. he called immigration officers on a throng of dozens of protesters inside the capitol building. representative matt renaldi claimed they held signs that said, i'm legal and ready to stay. then he said romero physically

assaulted him and other democrats were held back by colleagues. he said another democrat would, quote, get me on my way to the car and responded by saying, he would shoot himself in defense. he called him a liar and hateful man and at a news conference later in the day, several democratic lawmakers accused renaldi of threatening to put a bullet in the head of the representative. he says he's under protection of department of public safety. let's get a check of your weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. i have one question for you. where is the beach weather? >> that's not coming any time soon, especially in you're in the great lakes, northeast or mid-atlantic. no warmth is headed our way, i'm talking into the second week of june. what's to blame for this unsettled weather we started with over memorial day weekend. the storm sought of the hudson bawillit and spin, send tiny storms at us here and there. it will open up the gulf of mexico. expect a lot of wet weather. areas from pretty much dallas,

welcome back, everyone. i'm ayman mohyeldin along with louis burgdorf. let's start with the morning's top stories. this morning, former panamanian dictator manuel noriega died. he was flushed from power in 1989 after being an ally and informant to the cia for years. more on this story in a moment. in texas, the final day of

the state's legislative session turned ugly as a scuffle broke out between lawmakers. the incident was reportedly sparked after republican lawmaker said he called immigration authority on people who were at the capitol protesting senate bill 4, which bans sanctuary cities in texas. accusations flew of death threats between republicans and democrats. the man charged in the fatal stabbing two of goo samaritans on the train in portland, friday. the city's mayor wheeler is calling on organizers of the two upcoming alt-right incidentso cancel them. wheeler asked the federal government t revoke or deny the permits for the events. president trump and his advisers are gearing up for an allegations against russia. the planned established a war room to deal with all things russia related. white house aides tell nbc news the effort will be headed by jared kushner, steve bannon and reince priebus. the white house is discussing having a team of lawyers approve

president trump's tweets. "the wall street journal" reports the idea under consideration would have the lawyers look at the president's drafts who would decide if any adjustments are needed. according to one of trump's advisers so tweets don't go from the president's mind out to the universe. the white house is looking for ways to revive the president's stalled policy agenda in congress. ideas under consideration include more travel and campaign-style rallies to get the president speaking directly to supporters as well as changing to news briefings. also reportedly under consideration, the return of corey lewandowski. trump is mulling over returning david bossie, trump's former campaign deputy manager. "the new york times" reports both discussed the possibility of returning to the white house with the president before his last overseas trip. joining us from washington, d.c., national political reporter for axios, jonathan swan. good to have you back with us.

republican senator john mccain very critical. he spoke out yesterday about jared kushner's reported attempt to use russian facilities to communicate with moscow. take a listen to what he said. >> i know some administration officials are saying, well, that's standard procedure. i don't think its standard procedure prior to the inauguration of the president of the united states by someone who is not in an appointed position. . >> so, give me your take. is the white house bracing for more statements like this? are they somewhat concerned to hear some senior republican leaders express their concern about jared kushner? >> well, that tape you played was significant because john mccain in saying that became the first republican senator to publicly take a shot at jared kushner. you had his ally lindsey graham who would almost always echo mccain, but graham said he didn't believe the story, it's

not something he's worried about. mccain may be actually paving the way for others to criticize. from that point of view it's a concern to the white house. >> let me ask you this in terms of the russia story and how it's affected the republicans' agenda. there's a lot of things they want to get done legislatively. do you believe the president still has the confidence of republican leaders on the hill to get things done or is he just too bogged down on the russia story to move the agenda forward? >> he never did have the confidence privately of republican leadership on the hill. they were hopeful that they could work with him. they still are. they especially want tax reform more than anything else. what this has done is two things. number one, it's occupied the news cycle so it's given them less room to make a public case for these important reforms. the second thing it's done is diminished donald trump's stature on the hill and his ability to pressure, wield his

popularity, fear, things of that nature. you're seeing much less concern on the hill of people defying donald trump. >> let me get your opinion. obviously, the president touting his success overseas, talking about it being really good for american jobs, america. you've seen it up close. what's the actual impact of that trip now that he's back here on home soil? >> well, we're seeing -- i think a little has been overstated. i think it was a continuation of what donald trump has been doing for several months now, which is, number one, unsettling europe. we saw that in the way that he lectured the leaders of nato and then we also saw him kind of really quite profoundly changing policy in the middle east, which is really saying -- drawing a line and saying, we're not going to work with iran and we're very much going to side with saudi arabia. i think the middle east portion

was far more significant. >> jonathan swan live for us in washington, d.c. this morning, thank you. former fbi director and recently appointed justice department special counsel robert mueller gave the commencement speech over the weekend. without mentioning the russian investigation or going sgu any details, he mentioned the portion of integrity even when you're standing alone. >> in the end, it's not what we do, but how we do it. whatever we do we must act with honesty and with integrity. and regardless of your chosen career, you're only as good as your word. as the saying goes, if you have integrity, nothing else matters. if you do not have integrity, nothing else matters. there will come a time when you will be tested. you may find yourself standing alone against those you thought were trusted colleagues up. may stand to lose what you have worked for. and a decision will not be an easy call. >> some very important words

there. to breaking news that have been coming into our news room overnight. panamanian dictator manuel norieg has died. often playing multiple sides. over the time he consolidated power, promoting himself to full general in 1983, until eventually taking control of the country. things soon soured with washington after a bloody crackdowns on protesters and the torture and murder, who accused noriega working with cartels. he was sanctioned and indicted. in 1989 after he declared war on the united states and an unarmed off-duty marine was shot and killed, the u.s. invaded under "operation just cause," the largest military operation since the vietnam war. >> i'm committed to strengthening our relationship with the democratic nations in this hemisphere. i will continue to seek

solutions to the problems of this region through dialogue and multilateral diplomacy. i took thisions only after reaching the conclusion that every other avenue was closed and the lives of american citizens were in grave danger. >> noriega's military was crushed and the general was taken into custody when he left a vatican embassy. >> the defense department released these footage of noriega put into shackles. he joked with federal agents, signed autographs and showed off military medals. but on arrival, he lost his composure, clutched a bible and died. >> he was be convicted in an american court and in prison until 2007 until extradited to france, before returning to his home country to serve more time.

he suffered from a series of illnesses over the years but in march was treated for a benign brain tumor and was said to suffer from complications. he asked for forgiveness on panamanian tv from his prison cell. he has died at the age of 83. police have another rease in connection to the deadly terror attack in manchester. officials say a 23-year-old man was arrested in the southern part of the country. hundreds of miles from the site of the bombing on suspicion of terrorism charges. this latest arrest brings the total number of people held in connection to the attack to 14. this latest arrest came as americans wrapped up the unofficial kickoff to the summer travel season as millions prepare to travel overseas. they'll face major security changes in the wake of the manchester attack. nbc news' keir simmons has more. >> reporter: from london to paris to the pyramids of egypt, millions of americans' dream summer vacation overshadowed this year by an unwelcome travel

companion -- fear. we traveled to paris as the state department warns americans vacationing in europe to stay alert. in 2016, 83 million tourists traveled to france. that's fewer than in previous years. so changes are planned. beneath the eiffel tower they're planning a huge wall of bullet proof glass. >> it's three meters high. we want to do is as soon as possible. like, make it almost disappear. >> reporter: you still get this incredible view. >> totally, totally. >> reporter: you won't necessarily even know it's there. close by, vehicles will be banned. last year in nice, a jihadist drove a truck into crowds of vacationers, killing 86. so, there will be no cars here at all. >> normal traffic is going to be -- >> reporter: meanwhile, the french say while bookings dramatically drop after an attack, americans quickly return. next we flew to egypt. a country of wonder and magic. facing far greater challenges. in 2010 tourism to egypt brought

in $12.5 billion. last year that was down to $3.4 billion. among those still determined to come, a family from salt lake city. >> it's great to be here without all the crowds. >> reporter: you feel safe here? >> absolutely. >> reporter: high security at cairo's international airport, one passenger pulled aside while we filmed. carrying parts for a pasta machine. >> explosive effort has to check it. >> check if safe or not. >> reporter: en route to gate, we were checked again and monitored on security cameras. here, too, they say tourists are return. >> if all people get afraid and decide not to move, then terrorists will have won. >> reporter: americans who travel on the front line confronting fear, helping the world seem a little less divided. >> our thanks to nbc news' keir simmons for that report. let's turn to business where goldman sachs is in hot water for its purchase of nearly $3 billion of bonds from venezuela's central bank.

we're joined live from london. the opposition to president mu dur row's is not taking kindly. >> goldman sachs is accused of trying to make a quick buck off the suffering of venezuelans and politicians have been very firm. they've written to the ceo of goldman sachs, voicing their displeasure. the leader of the congress, part of the opposition party, went as far to say future governments may refuse to recognize or pay future obligations that become due on the bonds. goldman sachs picked these up for a steal. they paid around 31 cents on the dollar on average. some bonds paying as little as 30 cents on the dollar, an annual yield of about 40%. goldman likes the bonds as the situation in venezuela has to improve from here. moving on, meantime, u.s. consumers have seen credit scores reach record highs while the proportion of u.s. consumers
