yard. jared kushner is under investigation into the russia influence in the 2016 election. >> this is the hottest story investigators believe kushner has significant information relevant to the case. now, they do not suspect him of the crime or intend to press charges, it's not what this means. kushner has come under scrutiny because of two meetings that he had in december with a russian ambassador and a russian banker. attorney scott bolton joins us to break this down. explain, because when we first were hearing kushner's name mixed up in this, there seemed to be a lot of, here we go again and now this g

the russian, which he was, why aren't they interested in prosemosecute him? based on information that the fbi has, as well as the special prosecutor, at this point, they haven't deemed him to be a target or a subject or anyone else. it's important to note that jared kushner not only those december meetings, which was after the campaign, he's an important figure because of what the former c.i.a. director indicated about the c.i.a. investigation. kushner and flynn were meeting with the russians in the spring, not just in december. and before that, the c.i.a. had monitored the russian's efforts or conversations that said they wanted to influence the election and they wanted to influence it where donald trump winning over hillary clinton. that's significant. because during a campaign act presidential campaign, why are there these

and meetings taking place between a presidential candidate and a foreign authorities? that was strange to the former c.i.a. director and sure enough, once he got done monitoring the conversations, he saw them reach out to the campaign and to cuddle up with these individuals to in anticipation either a bribe or cuddling up and making them an unwith itting witness for their efforts. so this is kind of espionage c.i.a. stuff. that's why they're interested in kushner. not just what he can tell them. but what he can tell them about others as well >> specifically what do you mean? others as in what the russians had to say? what types of interactions are they going to be looking at? i know we weren't in the room at the time. but what types of things that the russians may have said or tried to get someone to do that the real hard evidence they will be looking for? >> what those conversations entailed. what they asked for

what did jared kushner say or didn't say and more importantly are you aware of others in the trump campaign that we're not aware of. those are key questions that he can answer. kushner is offered to cooperate, that's one thing. is he going to be under oath or not? public or private? or a deposition. because he got a great lawyer in jamie gorlick, but when you're put under oath, that's a lot different than coming in and having a conversation >> a lot of the concern over this matter is we know how russia operates. we know clearly they tried to influence elections around the world. however, isn't it entirely possible that some of this communication between the trump know in russia or previously - worked with was innocent? other presidential campaigns have had contact with foreign entities while a campaign has been

>> that may be true, and those communications, trust me, were monitored and they were benign, here there's some reports that say the trump campaign had at least 18 communications with russian impressive during the campaign, not just after, but during the campaign. that would raise any eyebrow, and that's why the former c.i.a. director referred these communications and these his suspicions to the fbi, that triggered this investigation by the fbi in the fall of 2016. so again, maybe it's benign, maybe there's no crime, maybe there is, there's no crime in colluding or talking to the russians, if you will, but what merits the investigation is other circumstantial evidence like not putting down all of those meetings with the russians. the fbi director, certainly did -- the attorney general certainly didn't and kushner did not originally then amended it. why would you

getting the security clearance filling out that form? there's a lot to investigate here and colluding or talking to the russians isn't a crime in and of itself but if money was exchanged or any other crime came out of those discussions or acts, you've got something not just to investigate. you got something to prosecutes. >> thank you so much for coming in and breaking this down for us, we appreciate apt >> thank you. one of the things that we're concerned about as we head to the holiday weekend is the weather, gwen got an update. >> i'm telling you the pressure is on me because it a holiday weekend as it always is. we're serving up some a variety of things, should good, some not so good. but we've got clouds that are rolling in, and what we're keeping a close eye on is this storm system right here in the midsection of the country because it is definitely headed our way and they're seeing watches and warnings associated with it. we will definitely be talking storms that will fire up across our re

ridge of high pressure in place, that is going to slide out. and as it does, we'll gait stalled frontal boundary. so when you wake up tomorrow morning, i can't rule out maybe morning showers, then some storms, our anticipated by the afternoon hour. peak time any time maybe from about 2:00 until about 6:00 in the afternoon. and some of those storms tomorrow could be strong. once we get into sunday, more unsettled conditions as we head into temperatures into the upper 70's and the low 80's for this holiday weekend. and we have a chance of seeing maybe showers and also maybe a pop-up storm here and there as well. so a lot of unsettled weather is what we're talking about as you plan all your outdoor activities and i know this holiday weekend, memorial day there's always outdoor activities, barbecues and parades. saturday 78 degrees, chance of afternoon storms, sunday is the day we're looking at shower, but also, by sunday evening, i can't rule out maybe pop-up storm.

day, 83 degrees, with a few storms in the forecast. for that day also. so here's a look at your evening planner, things will be very calm a far cry from what we're talking about over the next three day, 70 by the 9:00 hour, by 11:00, we're talking 63 degrees with a partly cloudy skies, it's going to be a little on the cool side as we head through. and the other thing i want to mention are the winds, gusty winds right now. those winds will continue to be fairly strong as we head to tonight but light winds for tomorrow. if you're headed to the beaches, here's what you got to be aware of. a chance of storms in ocean city, water temperature, not too bad. at about 60 degrees, here ap quick look at your fox 5 accu-weather seven-day forecast. things get calmer when we get into about hump day. back to you. >> thanks. we've got another setback for the president's travel ban >> we will take a look what's next after an appeals court ruling yesterday. 5at630 returns after break the.

t.

the justice department and the supreme court court to review an appeals court opinion on president trump's revised travel ban. >> niles, i have to confess, i'm getting more and more confused by this issue, because it seems to go back and forth. we've revised the travel ban, now it's in place, no, you can't do this. where do we stand and what is -- what's the administration going to do about this one. >> where we stand this appeals court has said that it will not lift the stay on the revised ban. the secon

still cannot go into effect. that's because it was firstly prohibited by a judge in maryland actually. then this court in virginia has uphold that ruling. the administration is suggesting it will take their case to the supreme court arguing that president trump does have pretty wide ranging authority on this issue. >> what i was reading that a second appeals court as well as in san francisco is also taking a look at the travel ban after what happened in hawaii. does that have any bearing really on this moving forward? if so, how does it >> at good question. sarah. theoretically, it has a bearing in the sense that if that stay were also upheld, it would put in place another hurdle for the administration. but -- it's terribly complicated. because the most recent verdict has said that the ban can't go into effect, that's the most important thing, even if

court that you're talking about in san francisco ruled in favor of the administration. it still wouldn't be go into effect >> were you surprised by the federal appeals court's ruling, the language it said that the travel ban drips with religious intolerance and discrimination. strong words >> very strong word, and in fact, it's interesting within that court, which was a large court, i believe. 11 judge, the decision submit, so to speak, along party lines. judges appointed by democratic presidents and republicans voted the other way. pretty strong language for sure. also an interesting point, citing president trump's tweets and campaign statements as proof that there was a religious discriminationtory purpose behind this ban is something controversial in itself. >> let's say it does make it to the supreme court. the administration says t

pushing. what do you think the likelihood is of something like this being ruled in their favor given what the makeup is on the supreme court at this point? >> given the ideal logical makeup of the supreme court, their chances should be better there, sarah, and they're also making this argument that there are statutes in place, which appear to give the president power to rule in or out full classes of would be immigrants. so that will be the argument they will fancy their chances better in the supreme court. but it's by no mean as sure thing. >> very good. my suspicion is it will go to the supreme court. niles stand white house columnist for the hill. coming up. respective a big event happening this weekend >> the gi film festival brought some big names to the district. when 5at630 returns. returns.
