it looks like the kind of deal apollo wouldn't typically snama ? >> so i don't -- no, not necessarily. other than the size, right? the size makes it an outlier. we don't know much about these loans. we know the amount. we know when the loan is due. but we don't know anything about the interest rate on the loan. we don't know anything about the cash flow in the building. we don't know anything about other potential non-mortgages but loans to the building that could affect the leverage, the terms of the loan, so, as an outsider, based on the public records that we rely on, we're kind of limited in being able to make an assessment like that. >> there's been some interesting reporting from a lot of different sources over the last couple months about mr. kushner's difficulties getting a permanent security clearance. "the new yorker" magazine reported on what were reportedly u.s. intelligence intercepts that captured chinese officials describing interactions between the chinese ambassador and jared kushner in which the ambassador basically reported home

so apollo is seeking something from the trump administration implicitly. and as they are providing input, they had a lot of input into the tax plan and private equities ended up making quite well. donald trump had made promises that they be taxed at a higher rate and that disappeared. so apollo has very significant interests at stake when it comes to the trump administration. >> while they're making $184 million loan to mr. kushner's private real estate firm that he is still partially linked to. it's important reporting and you've made it even clearer. thanks. >> thank for having me. >>> up next here, the thing i was going to talk about before this happened, which is another jaw-dropping story we learned about actually just in the last few hours. it's been a big day, and it's going to be a big night. stay with us. try super poligrip® it holds for 12 hours to reduce denture movement, helps provide better bite, seals out 74% more food particles, and enhances your denture fit. try super poligrip®. the smoother the skin, the more comfortable you are in it. and

one of them is from apollo, which is a big private equity firm, and one of the founder of apollo is ash harris who over the course of the year last year had a number of meetings with the white house, including meetings with jared kushner, including meetings about a possible job with the administration. now, he didn't get a job with the administration, but in november of last year, kushner companies got a $184 million loan from apollo. and, you know, by the standards of both apollo and kushner companies, that is a very sizeable loan. it's basically triple the size of the average loan that apollo's real estate group gives out, and it's one of the biggest loans that kushner companies received all of last year. and it was for an office building in chicago in which jared kushner remains invested. >> so i mean all that talk of jared kushner divesting himself or separating himself from his family's company, he is still personally invested in that building? >> yeah. so i think this is kind of a common misconception, right? so when jared kushner took the job with the trump administration last

months later, apollo lent a hefty 184 million bucks to kushner companies. it was one of the largest loans the kushner companies received last year. and an even larger sum came from citigroup which lent the firm and one of its partners 325 million bucks. kushner resigned as the ceo of kushner companies when he joined the white house last january but he kept the majority of his interest in the company and he still remains heavily invested. remember, it's kushner company. it's his family. his parents. his sisters. i mean, even if he wasn't directly benefiting, you'd think he'd want his family to. a spokesman for kushner attorney tells us, quote, mr. kushner has had no role in the kushner comes since joining the government and has taken no part of any business, loans or projects with or for the companies after that. i want to bring in one of reporters who broke this "the , my friend, kate kelly. walk us through about what we know about the white house meetings. because it is fair to say a lot of these people who came to the white house, whether you're talking a

adt was taken private by apollo global management in 2016. apollo brought adt public in january. that should have been the first sign that something was wrong. this whole process seemed very rushed to me the whole point of the process is that the leverage buyout guys do what's necessary to make the business better. turnarounds take time. the ipo was a bust adt's first quarter reported a week ago was downright awful the company is not even turning a profit honestly, if you stuck around until last week you he weren't paying attention because this thing was doomed from the start. the lack of time spent private was a real red flag. this is a sure sign that a private equity shop is looking to unload a dud investment because presumably they don't think it's worth the effort to try to turn things around. that's my opinion. second, in the time since adt went private, they've gotten a lot more competitive it wasn't like they were in great shape before the apollo bid. while the company was private they figured out how to make home security system now you have apple and alphabet making home

we're not going to have another apollo program whether for the moon or mars i mean apollo was a very special time we had a cold war going on between the u.s. and the soviet union space had been identified as one of the areas in which you could demonstrate the superiority of your culture and you know the the russians were launching things first and then the americans and finally we got to the moon first but at a tremendous cost i mean at the height of the apollo program over four hundred thousand people were working on apollo it was for about two years nasa was getting almost four percent of the u.s. government's budget that's not going to happen again so nasa if they're going to be successful in space exploration has to learn to do it not apollo style but affordably and i think therefore there's a lot to be learned from the pub.

and this is by apollo standards an enormous loan. this is three times the size of the average loan that apollo gives. so the kind of chronology is jared kushner meets with an official at apollo and discusses a possible job with him, and then when that is all done, apollo gives kushner companies enormous loan. that is one example we wrote about. the other example we wrote about is jared kushner had a meeting last spring with mike core bath, the head of citi group and shortly after that they gave a $325 million loan to kushner companies. both of these things are as far as we know fairly unpress press dentsed. a high ranking official having meetings in the white house with leaders of companies that very shortly thereafter give his company which he is still invested in sizable loans. and jared kushner stepped down for the kushner companies when he went to the white house but didn't divest his stake. he divested some portions including the stake in the 666 fifth avenue but still heavilyin investigated in the compa investigat investigate i

several months later, apollo approved $184 million loan to the kushner family business, and today abc news has learned that soon after that loan, the securities and exchange commission closed an investigation into apollo. there is no evidence of a quid pro quo, but serious questions about that time line. jared kushner's lawyer says he has taken no part of any business, loans or projects for his family business since joining the white house. and from kushner companies, we do not update jared on what's going on in our business, nor does he ask. the white house is standing by him. >> jared is still a valued member of the administration, and he's going to continue to focus on the work that he has been doing. >> reporter: at the beginning of the trump presidency, kushner's portfolio seemed all-encompassing. >> every day i come to work with enthusiasm and excitement for what could be. >> reporter: but kushner has been stripped of his top secret national security clearance, and "the washington post" reports, several countries believed he could be manipulated because of his inexperience, and

one of those that you just mentioned that was up for a job is joshua harris, he is founder of the apollo global management group. and he was a contender for a white house job early last year, met several times with jared kushner and when that job didn't pan out later on in the year, his company apollo global management led to the kushner family real estate company $184 million. so quite a sizable loan. much larger than what the company usually lends to people. but just another story in a string of stories that raise the questions of jared kushner's ability to continue to work in this white house. >> all right. thank you. i want to bring in jesse druck empt drucker, he broke this story. what more do we know and also how problem plat tiatic is this? >> there are serious questions obviously about what implications there might be for potential violations of the ethics regulations. basically the regulations have language about federal employees if they have certain relati relationshi relationships, business relationships, they are precluded from doing certain transactions and taking part in c

harris is a co-founder of a private equity firm, apollo global management. in november, apollo lent $184 million to kushner companies to refinance the mortgage on a chicago skyscraper. apollo spokesman told the "times," harris was not personally involved in the decision. that loan, quote, went through the firm's standard approval process. kushner companies got a bigger loan from citi group in the spring of 2017. kushner met with them at the white house, where they reportedly talked about financial and trade policies. of course, it was citi group's executive officer. short time after, citi made a loan to kushner companies. a spokesperson says, quote, kushner companies had been a bank client before the election, and the relationship had no connection to kushner's white house role. the spokesman says, citi negotiated the loan with one of kushner's business partners, who, there is a good chance -- i'm no longer quoting -- was one of his family members. this report comes along with concerns about kushner's security clearance at the white house. he was stripped of

he got a deal with apollo after meeting at the white house, reportedly with this ceo of apollo and discussinge job at the white house with that ceo. >> right. >> and then a meeting at the white house with the ceo of the division at citibank that deals with this. that is just -- it is just -- it is very common sense if you are in business and in government, you have to separate those two. >> absolutely. that is ethics 101. you can't take on an official action for a benefit for your family or business which you are still a part of. that is just common sense and it is something that unfortunately is not being enforced in the white house. >> it is sort of beyond belief, really, when you think about it, jared kushner could have carried on with his business. there is nob in america who said you can't carry on business but people get selected for white house jobs or government jobs or senate approved positions who say, can't do it because i can't disentangle myself from financial doings. he could have been a successful business man with his father in law as president of the united states without hav

the loan was triple the size of the average real estate loan made by apollo. shortly after kushner's companies received the loan from apollo, the private equity firm emerged as a beneficiary of the tax cut package that the white house championed. they got a loan from citi loan, that was made shortly after mr. kushner met with citi group's chief executive. last years' ad campaign was a success for choicehotels.com badda book. badda boom. this year, we're taking it up a notch. so in this commercial we see two travelers at a comfort inn with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too if i book direct at choicehotels.com". who glows? just say, badda book. badda boom. nobody glows. he gets it. always the lowest price, guaranteed. book now at choicehotels.com i was wondering if an electric toothbrusthan a manual.s better and my hygienist says it does but they're not all the same. who knew? i had no idea. so she said, look for one that's shaped like a dental tool with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush h

spokes people for both apollo and city bank said their executives were not involved in granting those loans. >> you also have to worry about whether he has an incentive to use his official power, to use the power of the white house to help people that he has business relations with. >> there was nothing inappropriate and stories like these attempt to make insinuating connections that do not exist. so disparage the financial institutions and the companies involved. just last week cnn reported that robert mueller is inquiring about kushner approaching foreign investors during the transition, including a chinese insurance company and investor for 666 fifth avenue. the building hasn't generated enough profit to cover its debts. >> $1.8 billion is a record price. it is a highly leveraged deal, which means the income in the building wasn't even close to covering what they would have to pay in interest. so it was a deal a lot of people say it was doomed from the start. >> about $1.2 billion in debt on the tower comes due next year. but negotiations with lenders and new sources of capital nee

we should note, kushner remains part owner of the company that got the loan from apollo after he met with the head of apollo in his official white house capacity and jared kushner owns a stake in the entity that got the loan from citigroup after which he met with the ceo of citigroup in his capacity as a white house official. this report is the latest calling into question his ability to function in his position as senior adviser, but sources say he plans to stay and white house reaffirmed that, the president wants him to. now we go to pamela brown. we have seen many weeks at this white house. is there any sense among allies of president trump that this time all the tulmult, that it's different in any way? >> reporter: one thing after the other, and there is a sense in the white house that the morale plummeted, and it feels to some staffers who are used to the chaos, mind you, that things seem to be in a downward spiral, even with today's tariff announcement, jake, many staffers were left in the dark on one of the major trade decisions that caused the stock market to go down in react

christs you mentioned, we have not gotten far since the apollo era.we went to theoon in 1969, 200 ,000 miles away. since then, we have gone to the international space station, an amazing orbiting laborory, but only 250 miles away. sa and the united states government does not have the ability to fly an astronaut from u.s. soil. the companies are used to rapid innovation and thought we should do something about that. laura: they are. elon musk of spacex says in your book that if you get to the moon and make that your home, you could get to mars more easily. is that the ultima vision? i think so. elon ultimately wants to get to e rs, and the moon seems like a good stepping str that, because there is water on the moon, and hydrogen and oxygen, that is rocket fuel. we went there d planted a flag in the 1960's, but then we left. i think the idea n under the trump administration is to go there and this time stay there. laura: your book is so interesting, the way it goes into egos, ambition,witter wars -- very topical -- especially between elon musk and jeff

we know the co-founder of apollo global management ponied up 1$14 million.he ceo of citi group ponied up 3$325 million to jared kushner. we know he was doing these deals, do we have a way of connecting that back to his work, that he was presenting, listen, i work for the white house, that's why you need to give me these deals. >> the strongest link so far is that he was asking qatar for -- he met with the former prime minister of qatar for an investment in that big property, 666 fifth avenue. that deal ultimately fell apart. when it did, around the time that it fell apart, kushner was very, very instrumental in advocating for an economic blockade against qatar. he sided with the saudis and the emiratis in that dispute. he was the one who pushed -- tillerson was against the blockade. he countered tillerson. if you're looking at this from qatar's point of view, you say we backed out of this deal. this is retaliation against us for backing out of this deal. now we see that qatar is considering cooperating with robert mule ner theller in this investigation. they

this was achieved just-in-time inthe apollo 11 mission 1969. the space race helped great a fascination with science and lead a change in technology, including the great integrated circuit which led to modern computers. however, after the last two landings in 1972 with no future left for further man to spaceflights, public interest in space declined. led to a consensus in the even know it had brought great benefits, it had not solved the social problems that were increasing. space flight was launched to increase public enthusiasm in space and for science generally. muchic missions are cheaper and may provide more scientific information, but they do not catch the public imagination in the same way. and, they do not spread the human race into space which i think should be our long-term strategy. goal of a base on the moon by 2020 and a man landing on the the by 2025 would reignite space program in give it a sense of purpose in the same way president kennedy's bloom target oon target 1960's -- m did in the 1960's. it would also increase an interest

happen again so nasa if they're going to be successful in space exploration has to learn to do it not apollo style but affordably and i think therefore there's a lot to be learned from the public sector and by working with the public sector and using these developments particularly the rockets and the spacecraft developed at a much lower cost than nasa has previously been paying for launches that might make it possible on a much more limited budget that we then we had during apollo to get started with real space exploration again that's what i hope will happen dr hofman we have to take a short break but to be will be back in just a few seconds stay chant. a little. when you don't. see the teacher deadly what did equip it. what did you not through only test test it. may. lead to the killing said. samantha. no turning to the sea that a. few speak french. you. think. could. you go shoot what you could you wouldn't order you it's none of us another blood brain and one million people died died and. killed people in vain b.c. even dangerous. now in eleven states and tooling agent that he's around

the job never materialized, but in november, apollo lent $184 million to mr.er's family real estate firm kushner companies." the report continues, "an even larger loan came from citigroup which lent the firm and one of its partners $325 million to help finance a group of office buildings in brooklyn. that loan was made in the spring of 2017, shortly after mr. kushner met in the white house with citigroup's chief executive, michael corbat." kushner resigned as ceo of his real estate company when he went to work at the white house but held on to most of his stake in it. both lenders told "the times" they did not discuss kushner's family business in those meetings. however, "the times" goes on to say this.
