leaking his memo about the meeting after he had been fired and he confirmed that the president is not personally the subject of any fbi investigation. there are a lot of questions still to be answered about all of this. leon harris is at our live desk with a look at what could be next. >> we did learn tonight that president trump's top adviser and son-in-law jared kushner plans to meet with senate intelligence committee later this month. it's important to note that kushner is not suspected of any crime at this point. meantime, comey told lawmakers at closed door hearing that attorney general jeff sessions may have had a third meeting with russia's ambassador to the u.s. and did not disclose meetings in january. comey appears to allude to

today. >> our judgment is that he was very close to and going to recuse himself for a variety of reasons. we also were aware of facts we can't address in open setting that would make continued engagement in investigation problematic. we were convinced. i think we had heard that the career people were recommending that he recuse himself, that he was not going to be in contact with russia related matters much longer. that turned out to be the case. >> one of the many head lines that came out of today's hearing. the department of justice says sessions recused himself because he was involved in president trump's campaign and for that reason and that reason alone. earlier this week white house press secretary sean spicer would not say whether president trump had confidence in sessions but today sanders said the president absolutel
