victory. we start with politics. a lot going on with the russia investigation. all-eyes on the president's son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner. we know what he will tell lawmakers on capitol hill today. and we learn more about the abrupt departure of sean spicer. we're going to talk to the president's former campaign manager in a moment. let's begin with nbc white house correspondent, kristen welker. >> reporter: good morning to you. president trump will try to put the focus on his domestic agenda today, delivering a speech about health care this afternoon. but it's his son-in-law who is in the hot seat, jared kushner, expected to deliver a strongly-warded statement insisting he didn't collude with the russians and, quote, he has nothing to hide. this morning, jared kushner, in his own words. as the president's son-in-law gets set to face tough questions from staff members with the

senate intelligence committee. nbc news has obtained his statement to congress. kushner says, i did not collude and i don't know anyone else who colluded with a foreign government. i did not rely on russian funds. in the 11-stage statement ru kushner addresses two points that have become flash points. he said in april 2016, he met the russian ambassador. he said after election day, he had to ask, what is the name of the russian ambassador? and that trump tower meeting with a russian attorney in 2016, kushner received an e-mail from donald trump jr. asking for a meeting with no other attendees listed. and he didn't read the e-mail chain forwarded to him. but after arriving late, he

found the russian attorney discussing adoptions. and he e-mailed his assistant, and asked, can you call me on my cell? need excuse to get out of meeting. the meeting is behind closed doors. and he won't be under oath. the russian investigation, top of mind for the president. he tweeted on saturday, all agree the u.s. president has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when the only crimes are leaks against us. >> pardons have not been discussed. and pardons are not on the table. >> why are we talking -- >> there's no one to pardon? there's no presidential crime. >> reporter: but a different message from anthony scaramucci, the new communications director. >> we're talking about that. he brought that up. he doesn't have to be pardoned. as for kushner, he is expected to address reports that he tried to set up secret communications with the kremlin.

he will say, quote, i did not suggest a secret pack channel. and his security would be prematurely, leaving out all contacts with foreign officials, not just those from russia. congress has struck a bipartisan deal to impose sweeping sanctions on russia for its election meddling. the white house was opposed to the bill. over the weekend, the top aides sent conflicting signals whether trump will support the legislation now. >> we'll see if we can get clarity on that. let's focus in on the dramatic shakeup of the communications operation. how it will change the communications out of the white house and what's been a rocky relationship with the media. hallie jackson has that part of the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. that new communications director who is making a move from wall street to washington, is coming out strong against his own staff. warning he will not tolerate

leaks. anthony scar muamucci said he wd like to keep everyone on. but if he has to get rid of everyone but the press secretary, he will, if he cannot get the leaks to stop. the man now in charge of the west wing message, delivering a very clear one for his own team. >> tomorrow, i'm going to have a meeting with the communications staff and say, i don't like the leaks. so, we're going to stop the leaks. if we don't stop the leaks, i'm going to stop you. it's really that simple. >> reporter: president trump's new communications director, beginning with a warning. a crackdown from anthony scaramucci. and a teardown of twitter. deleting all his old tweets, including the ones that opposed the president. full transparency. past views evolved and shouldn't be a distraction. >> when i made a decision to take this job, my politics a ss

my political ideas do not matter o at all. i'm subordinating all of that to the president's agenda. >> reporter: he seemed to relish his new role. absent from the air waves, sean spicer who plans to walk out in august. >> i have a pretty good compass. i made a decision, in the best interest, not just myself, for the president and for thehood strags. to step aside and led sarah lead the team. >> reporter: sarah huckabee sanders, the third woman to hold that role. but this direction from her new boss, had some scratching her heads. >> i love the hair and makeup person on friday. i would like to continue to use the hair and makeup person. >> reporter: scaramucci saying,

i liked the makeup artist. i can get all of the help i can get. #humor. scaramucci says he will do some tv if he wants. but sanders will be handling the podium regularly at the briefings. telling me, he is not a ball hog. >> got it. >> we need all the help we can get. corey lewandowski served as one of president trump's campaign managers. he joins us now. good morning. >> good morning to you. >> jared kushner has given his account on paper. he's going to talk to congress later about what happened with that plemeeting with the russia lawyer. apparently jared kushner is going to say, i got pulled in late. i got out as fast as i could. does this come back to donald trump jr.? was it a mistake for him to not only schedule that meeting but to bring others into it and put them in that position? >> i think what jared is talking about, if you looked at his calendar and the memory.

the meeting he was asked to attend was at the request of his brother-in-law. it was not uncommon for him to pop inmeetings. there's no indication about who that meeting was with or what it was about. >> that's why i'm asking about donald trump jr. was that a mistake of him to do that? >> donald trump jr. is the one that initiated the meeting. if you were to go back and look, he probably wouldn't have done it the same way. he said that very publicly. but the notion these meetings don't occur, across campaigns all the time, when individuals are trying to get opposition research from opponents is a fallacy. >> you were campaign manager, would you have taken that meeting? be honest. would you have? >> i was obviously the campaign manager at the time. i did not participate in that meeting. if i thought it was a meeting that would have been relevant to the outcome of the campaign, i would have been there. i did not think it was relevant.

i did not know the individuals involved. it was a friend who asked donald trump jr. to take the meeting. he took it as a courtesy. and looking back, he would tell you that it probably wasn't the right thing to do. but nothing came of the meeting. >> there were tough eer sanctio on russia. we have a now white house communications director who is casting suspense on what the president might do. do you think he will sign it? >> i haven't talked to the president or what he will do regarding that legislation. if there's an opportunity to work with russia, that's a good thing for us, and for our country. if we're adversaries and we can't work with russia because they're punitive against us, the president will be tough on russia. if we have to put sanctions in place, this president has been very, very clear. his priority is america first. that hadn't changed since the day he was elected. >> let me ask you about the shakeup in the administration. sean spicer decided to resign.

do you think will there will be more big personnel changes forth coming? >> i have been public in my criticism of the administration and the leaks that come out of it. what we've seen over the weekend is that anthony scaramucci, the new communications director said he will find the leaks. that means that individuals who are working inned that building are fired because they're not on the president's agenda, think it's the right thing to do. if you're working in that administration, the guy that opens the door or the chief of staff, if you're not on the president's agenda, yu shouldn't be there. i have full confidence that anthony scaramucci is going to find those leaks. >> are you going to take a job in the administration? >> i haven't been offered a job of the administration. i like coming on your show without problems. >> are you advising the president? >> i have been a steadfast supporter of the administration.

if i receive a phone call from members of the team of the president, i will take that call and give them advice. >> our nicolle wallace is the host of "deadline white house." nicolle, good morning. >> what do you make of the shakeup in the communications team? and there are rumors that there are other big resignations. >> it's the president's prerogative to hire and fire whomever he wants. this is someone who communicates more consistently with the way the president sees himself communicating. he's a street fighter. the president has made no secret to friends and confidants that he has been dissatisfied about fighting back about stories about russia. anthony scar moochuchamucci sai russia investigation is a hoax. he has someone in line of the thinking of these things. >> you heard scaramucci saying

he wants to change the culture. that's how he referred to it, inside the communications division of the white house. how does he go that? >> i'm guessing you don't really boost morale by saying you're going to fire everybody. and anybody that covers this white house, knows it's not difficult to get folks to talk about what's going on, to talk about one another. and one of the most stalwart defenders of the president said the addition of scaramucci is one more person, you know, in the swirl. and what the real problem is in this white house, they don't have a functioning chain of command as a staff. they don't have a powerful chief of staff that keeps everybody out of everybody else's lane. the chaos is a product of a weak chief of staff. this was a decision he lobbied against. he opposed with all of his might. and the president made it anyway. you talk about other shoes to drop, i think all eyes are on steve bannan and reince prebus

who were against scaramucci. a lot more happening this morning. and federal charges are expected against the driver of a tractor-trailer, involved in a deadly and disturbing case of human smuggling in texas. dozens of people were found in the back of a swelters 18-wheeler. gabe gutierrez is in san antonio with this. >> reporter: dozens of people crammed into a tractor-trailer in this parking lot, in the stifling texas heat with no air conditioning. the suspected driver of that tractor-trailer is expected to be formally charged later today. this morning, federal investigators are trying to unravel how a human smuggling operation inside this tractor-trailer turned deadly. >> something out of the movies. you don't expect to see that kind of thing around here. >> reporter: the gruesome scene, a sweltering parking lot in san

antonio. someone climbed out of the back of the tractor-trailer parked near the store and begged for water. a walmart employee called 911. police found 39 suspected undocumented immigrants found inside. 8 were dead. others went to the hospital. >> people were inside that trailer without water. >> reporter: investigators say the suspected driver, james bradley junior of clearwater, florida, will be charged later today. some blame the political climate. >> the harsh rhetoric is what is responsible for tragedies like what happened in san antonio. >> reporter: but human trafficking has been big business for decades. it's reminisce sint of a 2003 case when 70 people were trapped in a tractor-trailer. last year, homeland security officials investigated 2,000 cases of human trafficking p making 3,000 arrests.

it's a broken immigration system that congress has refused to fix. >> these deaths are preventable. >> reporter: late sunday, a vigil for the victims. >> they're willing to risk themselves and willing to risk their lives for their kids and for their family members so they can have a better future. >> reporter: 30 undocumented imgrants including teenagers are recovering at local hospitals. as the immigration debate rages, what happened in this parking lot is a haunting reminder of what's at stake. savannah, carson? >> gabe, thank you very much. now, back to the dramatic fin sh at the open championship. golf's third major of the year, jordan spieth overcame what looked like a meltdown in the making. puts him amongst the greatest to ever play the game. >> champion golfer of the year, right there. >> reporter: call him the comeback kid. jordan spieth, the youngest american to win the british open, after one of the most

rollercoaster tournaments ever. >> how would you explain how difficult it was for you to win today? >> more difficult than it probably looked. and it probably looked pretty difficult. >> reporter: after finishing ahead of fellow american matt kuchar on saturday, spieth got off to a rocky start on sunday. on the 13th hole, it ale seemed to go terribly wrong. >> this is way right. i mean, this is way right. >> reporter: his drive, so far off, he took an unplayable penalty and spent 20 minutes looking for a his ball. >> that was one amazingly poor drive. >> reporter: but he soon recovered and made bogey in what's being called one of the most unforgettable holes in golf history. >> he got lucky. just short. >> reporter: from there, he continued his streak. >> right at it. >> oh, yes. >> reporter: making masterful putts like this. >> a little bit to the rac a at. just, bam. >> reporter: and earning his third major championship. >> once i started to go, the

their mother's unfinished business with the charity work they do. and the way william brings up his own children. in the back of our minds when we were making this film, we hoped when it was finished, william and harry would feel, this is a film they could share their own kids and say, this is who your grandmother was. >> harry cried twice since diana died. he saw the outpouring of thousands of people weeping and he felt strange like, these people are weeping more than i am. >> yeah. it's a unique experience, isn't it? and anyone who watched the funeral thought, how could they go with this? and i think the film answers that question, for maybe the last 0 ye20 years, they had to things under wraps. they can talk about it for the first time. >> were you surprised about anything you heard about princess diana and her sons? >> i think the thing that surprised me was she was a great

practical joker. she had a real sense of humor. >> she would send racy cards or naughty cards. >> and smuggling sweets and the supered models prank on her efldest son. >> i didn't hear them talk about before the divorce. thought about living not enough with your mother and your father. >> i that talk about being bounced around. too much time in cars and too much time on the phone. you can tell it was obviously a difficult time for them. >> i don't think anyone who has been through that experience of their parents being divorced will empathize with that. that's a common experience. >> were they more candid than you expected? did you hear more from them than you expected to? >> i thought they were courageous to be honest with you. it is a complex thing, talking to the world about, you know, a mum who died in the circumstances in which she died. i was touched by the courage and openness with which they talked to us and shared their feelings
