that as "forbes" magazine reports that hundreds of thousands dollars raised by eric trump's foundation for a children's cancer charity was tranl channeled into the trump organization. okay. you got that? i told thank you was a lot and it is, but we'll get you through all of it in this broadcast tonight so stick with us. let's get to cnn's evan perez, also michael isikoff, the chief investigative correspondent for yahoo news and tara palmieri. a lot to get to. evan, i'm going to start with you. good evening to all of you. tonight we have an escalating triesis between attorney general jeff sessions and president trump. what do you know? >> well, don, we were told there's been a series of heated conversations between the attorney general jeff sessions and the president. a lot of this stems from the fact that back in february, the attorney general decided that it was time for him to recuse himself from the russia investigation, including the fact that he hadn't disclosed some meetings with the russian ambassador, sergey kislyak if you remember. the president was sort of surprised -- defini

donald trump even donated funds from his foundation to eric's foundation that were then used to pay the trump organization, a move that, according to forbes, has more in common with a drug cartel's money-laundering operation than a charity's best practices. oh, i think -- listen, i think comparing the trump family to drug dealers is a little unfair. drug dealers make you feel good. ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) i've heard. i'm not into that scene. but keep in mind, there has been a lot of good done by foundation head and skeleton child from "nightmare before christmas," eric trump. his charity has raised millions of dollars for sick children, plus they're close to finding a cure for whatever don jr. has that prevents him from closing his mouth. eric lashed out at his critics, tweeting, "i have raised $16.3 million dollars for terminally ill children at @stjude with less than a 12.3% expense ratio. what have you done today?" today? well... ah... oh, i found out about sick kids are getting ripped off by voldemort with hair. we'll be right back with john mulaney.

the eric trump foundation run by president trump's son.der who broke the story for forbes. 2007. this was the first eric trump golf tournament. seemed like a really great formula. and the goods and services were assuring donors that every penny possible went to charity but after about four years things change and i want to read part of your piece. "in reviewing filings from the eric trump foundation and other charities, it's clear the course wasn't free -- that the trump organization received payments for its use, part of more than $1.2 million that has no documented recipients past the trump organization golf charity experts say. --" >> so where did the money go? >> that's the big question. what we know is in 2011 after years of running this without big expenses, donald trump comes in and he tells his son and the charity i know that you're doing a good thing. i know this is for kids of cancer. but you're holding this in my course and we're going to charge you and you can see the expenses go up immediately when he does that and they contin

in that clip we just heard eric trump is touting the ability to leverage trump organization assets, quotedred% free of charge. but then comes this. according to a new article in "forbes" magazine the eric trump foundation raises most of that money through the eric trump golf tournament held at trump national west chester golf course. and "forbes" according to irs filings says the first four years of the tournament total expenses averaged about $50,000. in line with what other charities pay to host events at trump courses. but something then changed over the past few years. in 2012, costs came in at a relatively modest shh 59,000. 2013, the cost start to balloon to $230,000. 2014, $242,000. 2015, as donald trump was kicking off his presidential campaign, the costs of the events exploded to $322,000 for this one-day golf event. what changed is the question. and joining us tonight the author of this piece in "forbes" coverresident trump and the people in his siringle. dan alexander is here with us. dan, what did change? and what do you think went on? well, so in 2011 that's the first year th

the article they mentioned that $100,000 donation went from the donald trump foundation to the eric trumpey then went to the trump organization. you know, in the article, they say this maneuver would appear to have more in common with a drug cartel's money laundering operation than charity's best practices. best practices among charities gets reviewed all the time. what's your take on this? >> it's shady as hell. >> it's shady as hell according to steve schmidt. >> i think anybody that's going to fall out of theirhair that the trump organization and associated charities don't follow a charitable best practices. i mean come on. there's this grifter culture around the entirety of all that stuff. i will say this, though, about st. jude's. i think it's one of the most exemplary charities in the country. they do extraordinary work with kids with cancer. no kid gets turned away. if eric trump has raised millions of dollars for st. jude's, that's to be commended. >> without a doubt. >> that being said, that being said, if you're going to do this, do it the right way. you know, eric trump is a sp

president trump's son, eric, is blasting a report by "forbes" that alleges his charity funneled charity donations to the trump organization. the eric trump foundation held lavish annual fundraisers to help kids with cancer. eric trump says most of the costs were covered, because the trump organization was using its own facilities. but "forbes" says the event's expenses ballooned from 59-thousand dollars in 20-12, to 242-thousand in 20-14. and investigators say the expenses skyrocketed after donald trump allegedly demanded the foundation be charged for using trump facilities. at the end of last year, eric trump stepped aside from all fundraising efforts for his organization. it was then restructured and renamed, to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest. did you know one of the world's most popular museums is right in our back yard? the national air and space museum came in number two on the list. it was edged out by the national museum of china - but, it still takes the top spot in the u-s. two other museums in the u-s made the list... the national museum of natural history came i

i'd also point to the earlier story about eric trump's foundation. a great irony in donald trump saying that people need to get paid when he is someone who is known historically for stiffing contractors who have worked on projects for him. >> and the idea that he basically -- the sort of between the lines image you get from that "forbes" piece say recognition like, we can extract some money out of this. you also have the brothers running the trump organization who are walled off in some completely impossible to tell way from the actual president. doing a lot of publicity. and now floating a budget friendly america idea hotel chain which again seems like frankly profiting off their father being president. >> it just seems like there is something not right about it. even if it would be technically legal, and i can't speak to that. it just seems like there's something not right about it. you have to ask, is the trump family -- are they trying to make america better, are they working for the country or for themselves and for their own brand? i think incre

by are you calling for an investigation into the president's son, eric trump? jude's is doing great research to cure pediatric cancer. to $16ump has raised up million after a pledge of $20 million for saint jude. there is no question that through some sources he will raise that money through others helping. but i do think that it's wrong to charge expenses for the golf tournament at his father's which were given free. for the first four or five years everything was free. the fees of the golf courses, the food, the drink, you name it. all three. donald trump saw all of this money and said don't give it away, charge it. last year it was $350,000. i know a lot of people that know a lot about golf tournaments and charity golf tournaments and they say there is no way that that tournament should cost anywhere near that. it was an amount of money that trump got to his coffers, donald trump, i don't think that eric trump was involved, he listened to his father. he transferred $100,000 from his foundation to the eric trump cap foundation to cover expenses. out of the po

"forbes" also reported that more than $500,000 in donations to the eric trump foundation was re-donated to other charities, many linked to trump family members or interests, and they also spent money renting trump golf courses. dan alexander is an associate editor at "forbes" and wrote the report and joins me now. thanks so much for joining us. you went through tax filings for eric's foundation and found costs for its golf tournament nearly tripled in 2010 compared to the year before. in 2012 costs went back down but then skyrocketed again. after that you -- you suggest it doesn't add up. was there an upgrade to the events? what is eric's foundation saying about wh

nothing to two him or campaign or rhetoric i think itical in this conrsation he had tos of the word eric trump said democrats weren't human not even people i think was -- >> wait, let me bring morgan in, here is the problem, when crazy talk crazy people lynn to crazy talk as metaphors people will die, health care program will kill people the lack of funding planned apparent women will die metaphor to say create emotions in people and voters when crazy people hear that think hey people will die i better do something they as happened in d.c. this week. >> you are absolutely right eric, we could spend remainder of your show, going through examples of where left said something ridiculous right said something ridiculous if you go to every congressman in the united states, right now, and senate and house went to facebook pages, i don't care if republican or democrat there is crazy stiff on facebook pages twitter from both sides. so i guess i would slightly disagree with what rachel said about kumbaya it is scary when you get on internet see what is going on, both sides of the aisle we are all to bla

trump. if you are not producing, not making sense businesswise. >> eric: treat the oval office like a board leo: i think trump has the potential to be one of the great presidents if he does what you just said. >> eboni: on the record. >> eric: when we return, we circle back with our specialists stephen baldwin and leo terrell. don't go anywhere. >> kennedy: it is time to circle back with our specialists stephen baldwin and leo terrell. look at you two. stephen, do you enjoy being in new york city? a stone's throw away, your brother. >> stephen: lex luther. >> eboni: do you get in fights around the thanksgiving table? >> stephen: i don't know what you are talking about. i am making up a new bumper sticker that says "he won. i am done." things around the house are okay. >> eric: your brother plays donald trump. trump has a russia problem but you are having a russia good thing going on in your life? >> stephen: it's cool. a russia thing is proving itself to be totally false, a buddy of mine named max kaiser, he and i are partnering together and producing a new program i will host, a road show.

we deserve so much better than this. >> eric trump has never seen hatred like this. you see hatred aimed at the president coming from the left. >> there's no denying partisan temperatures are running extremely high right now. obviously the investigation right now is being driven more by nonpartisan law enforcement officials than democrats on capitol hill. but that hasn't always between case. democrats have aggressively pursued this investigation even when we didn't have a lot of the evidence that now suggests there was potential wrongdoing. he's correct the democrats have pursued this president with more vigor they would have pursued another republican but clearly there are some questions that need to be answered here that only law enforcement officials at this point are going to be able to get answers for. >> zach, do you want to get the last word on that. those in the intelligence community and world leaders don't seem the democrats are at the front of these accusations. >> speaking definitively about this russian element i think he was probably misguided but i'll
