ivanka trump seems criticized no matter what. governor worked with her on work force development said ivanka could save an elderly woman from being hit by a train and people would blame her for disrupting the travel time. there are those who defend her. very quickly, the last story, you were in her office speaking off the record and you noticed a book about burning man. i'm told reliably burning man is where you go to smoke pot, acid, listen to music >> according to me. >> that's what alisyn says. what was the significance of that book in her office? >> i was in her office looking around, trying to take in as many notes as i can mentally about what this space looks like, what she has on the different tables. i see the spine of this coffee table book. i wrote it down and looked it up later on amazon and i thought, wait, burning man? ivanka trump at burning man? that didn't square to me at all. it became a vehicle for trying to help the reader understand why it is so hard in a way to do a story on her. she is in so many ways a ciphe

we have reported that the president got involved in granting jared kushner and ivanka trump security clearances even though ivanka trump in that clip just there said she did not know that her father was involved. when we reported that we had sources telling us that maybe ivanka did not know that her father played a role in her getting a security clearance. all of this is coming to a head as white house officials have been pretty uneasy about the topic of security cleerns for over a year now, kate, ever since that rob porter scandal happened where there was so much scrutiny on how the white house was granting people security clearances not just security clearances but also those interim clearances and that's what led to john kelly former chief of staff changing the process and that's when you saw jared kushner go from having that interim clearance to being downgraded until the president did get involved and grant him a permanent security clearance. white house officials are not responding to this, but we know they've been uneasy about what information could potentially come out now th

among them, jared kushner and ivanka trump. we have more on this. laura, good morning. >> good morning. that whistleblower is tricia newbold. for the last 18 years, she worked under republicans and democrats in the personnel security office at the white house. it is unclear if she will stay on the job following the allegations. the white house has yet to comment on her future. a career white house official says 25 people in the trump administration were granted security clearances despite disqualifying issues. >> things like drug uses, criminal activity. >> reporter: a memo from elijah cummings says tricia newbolt felt this is my last hope to bring integrity into the office. >> the things she has told us -- >> reporter: newbold told the committee about two senior white house officials still on the job, both drew objections on staff.

. >>> ivanka trump is in ethiopia promoting her womens global economic program. trump's daughter and senior advisor is focusing on ways to help women achieve success in business. some see her visit as a hopeful sign of closer relations with the president. >> reporter: a somber beginning to the first daughter's second day here in ethiopia. ivanka trump visited ethiopia's holy trin techurch paying theerment tuesday the 157 victims of the ethiopian airlines flight 372 which crashed back in march. eight americans were killed along with people from 34 other nationalities. then ms. trump met with a group of dynamic female african leaders as part of her wgdp or womens global development and prosperity initiative as a dialogue to promote women in the workplace. she sat alongside ethiopia's first female president. and while it seemed quite staged, managed and a softer approach to diplomacy we're told by ethiopian business men and women for them it struck a far more strategic tone. ivanka 2ru678 is a direct link to the u.s. president, deployed to a country in the midst of

we're told jared kushner and ivanka trump were on the list. this as the house judiciary committee chairman is set to authorize a subpoena in the democrats' battle to obtain the full unredacted report from special counsel robert mueller. this hour, i'll talk with a top democrat on the senate foreign relations committee, bob menendez. and our correspondents and analysts are also standing by. first, let's go to our national security correspondent, alex marquardt. what are you learning? >> this wheistleblower we're talking about from the white house, her name is tricia newbold. she's someone i've been speaking with for several months now as she's been sounding the alarm about security clearances that have been forced through. now in a new report, she details how she compiled a list of 35 individuals whose security clearances were denied but then overturned. among them, another source tells me, ivanka trump and jared kushner. a white house whistleblower is alleging the trump administration's handling of security clearances is threatening u.s. natio

now through april 14. >>> remember when people thought ivanka trump would be a moderating force on thisresident? things sure have changed. inside ivanka's dream world goes behind the scenes of president/first daughter. i want to bring in the article's author. also here to discuss maria stewart and cardonau. let's go straight to your piece called "inside ivanka's dream world." and you set the scene. when she accidentally popped in. you can tell by his eyes, the way they popped and gleamed and fixed on someone behind me. only one person gets that kind of look from donald trump. oh, he said, ivanka. and she lifted her hands, astonished. i forgot you guys were meeting. i was just coming by. uh-oh. she forgot that you were meeting with her father? really? >> of course she didn't. but it's one of those moments and i know you've felt this way probably as a journalist and you say that's my lead. total ea emblematic of everything my reporting has shown me about somebody who can feels if they project a certain way of being they will be perceived that way and only that way. >> you knew she didn't

quoted in "the atlantic," saying, he kind of walked in and looked at at ivanka like, what the bleep is barbie doing in the west wing? trump house meetings, doesn't share kelly's feeling, telling "the atlantic" he thinks ivanka would have been great at leading the world bank because she is, quote, good with numbers, or that she can you have been u.n. ambassador after nikki haley's departure. >> i think ivanka would be incredible. you would be accused of nepotism, even though i'm not sure there's anyone more competent in the world. >> reporter: trump has quoted as saying, if she ever wanted to run for president, i think she would be hard to beat. what her qualifications are for that role, again, remain unclear. but what ivanka hasn't been is the moderate voice in the white house. instead, ivanka has lately channeled her portfolio to important women and family-centric issues, like the child tax credit and paid family leave. most recently, global economic growth for female business owners. >> today the white house is launching an exciting new initiative, the women's global development and prosperity initiative. >> reporter: "

ivanka trump, cnn reported was also a concern raised internally. the president green loyaltied that as well. what elijah cummings says he has this whistleblower who has come forward. her new is trisha newbold, an adjudications manager in the security office. she talked to the committee and detailed dozens of times where there were concerns raised offer overruled by officials in the white house, and she says since 2018 there have been 25 instances, including those two senior white house officials. now the question is -- that cummings has had is this shows the white house has complete disregard for the protocols, for disregarding concerns over national security. one of the things that she points out, according to this memo, the whistleblower says that there was an unusually high number of intrim security clearances that were given to individuals who were later deemed that they should not have had access to classified information, so this is just going to be one of a number of investigations that this committee and other committees in the house plan t

you've been trying to get ivanka trump on the record for months and months and what happens?l and i'm sitting in my apartment in washington from sarah sanders and said if you want to come talk to the president about her at 4:30, you can and i said i'm free and sure. so i go and we're sitting in the oval talking and wrapping up questioning and all of a sudden his face totally lights up and you immediately know who has walked in and i turn around and it is indeed ivanka. and she just acts like she's entirely surprised. it was a complete coincidence -- >> you weren't buying that? >> no. >> keep going. >> i don't know who would. and she just had to inform the president right then that seamen added 75,000 jobs to the work force development program and they pledged that many opportunities to remind him at the meeting tomorrow tick cook of apple would be joining. >> and he responds and then you respond -- you see right through this. >> we're all just laughing and he -- he's going off on a thank you en-- a tangent and said she wants no credit, just like i do. she wants no credit. and

or according to him, maybe one day, president ivanka trump. reports, some in the trump administration have a different name for her, but it's a lot less flattering than the ones we just mentioned. >> reporter: ivanka trump struggling to keep her personal brand in tact as her public persona takes a hit after working in the white house. this according to a story in "the atlantic." the white house has not always been a friendly place for her, even with her dad as boss. >> wherever jared had any difficulty with me and a couple of points, he would send in a real power named ivanka. and she would call me and she would say, daddy, you don't understand, you must do this, and i said, all right. >> reporter: the familiarity didn't go over well with former chief of staff john kelly, who said, more than once, he felt ivanka and her husband, jared kushner, who never held government or diplomacy jobs prior to the white house, were quote, playing government. kelly was brutal, according to a source close to ivanka, quoted in "the atlantic," saying, he kind of

ivanka trump and jared kushner are on that list and the majority of democrats will call a vote soon on a subpoena to compel white house officials to testify under oath about why the civil servants were overruled and just who made that happen. it's just one of the big investigations being launched by democrats and the partisan bickering today is a clear sign that both sides know this clash over security clearances is the beginning of a road soon to include fights over the mueller report, the president's taxes and more. chairman elijah cummings and ranking chairman jim jordan set the tone. >> she came forward because the system at the white house is so dysfunctional that she believes that congress needs to intervene. in other words, she's crying out. she's begging to us do something. because she simply wants her government to work the way it's supposed to work. to this day they have not produced a single piece of paper or a single requested witness to this committee. >> yesterday -- yesterday, you issue a press release hand picked, cherry picked parts of her testimony. miss newpolled's t

they want to know the process where people like jared kushner and ivanka trump.rocess behind them getting a clearance after being denied a clearance? >> right. the security clearance issue of the white house first came to light over a year ago it was rob porter and staff secretary and questions are raised even though he's twice accused and since then we have seen other like jared kushner as you said obtained clearances of the president stepping into help make that happen and it is more than that. these are probably questions as they are and important questions. it is also a first shot from the democrats. more is coming. we know more is coming against the ongoing fight of findings of that investigation. they wanted to happen today. that does not appear to be happening. barr has said he delivered more materials later this month. there is great questions that it is going to be redacted and the reasons behind those redactions. this is today i interpreted as also as much of the house of democrats, hey, we are not going to let it go and give you a victory on the muelle

ivanka trump toured businesses run by women. the white house initiative is intended to benefit 50 million women in developing countries by 2025. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, real whirlwind trip for ivanka trump. that is the focus of this trip. she launches this initiative with the goal to empower 50 million women in developing countries by 2025. she's the second trump to visit the continent. recently after melania's trip last year. remember her father, president trump, drew criticism when he reportedly described some of the nations on the continent with not so positive language. but her words have been focussed on empowering women and she had this to say. >> we believe that investing in women is smart development policy, and it's smart business. it's also in our security interest because women, when they're in power, foster peace and stability. >> reporter: trump also tweeting from ethiopia about the devastating plane crash in the country last month, taking break from her initiative to pay respects to those who

and the issue with security clearances in particular when you talk about ivanka trump and jared kushner is the close relationship to the president. these are family members. and so there's always been that question of having people that close to the president working in the white house, is he willing to look the other way, even though there are concerns about risk. >> and scott, just to give the republican response on this, the republican ranking member on the oversight committee, congressman jim jordan of ohio, he's pushing back saying, quote, chairman cummings, that's the democratic chairman from maryland, chairman cummings' investigation is not about restoring integrity to the security clearance process, it is an excuse to go fishing through the personal files of dedicated public servants. but there is this whistle blower, there is this individual saying that something has gone wrong here. is this not theoretically what the house oversight committee is supposed to be looking into? >> sure, if she wants to go talk to the house oversight committee, i don't have a problem with that. i d

now, ivanka trump didn't give you an interview technically. >> no.on brand. >> the president did an interview that she made an impromptu appearance at and he was heaping praise on his daughter. he talked about that he thought about her for a world bank position. that he thought about her as an ambassador to the u.n. he thought she would have been good. tell me about that. >> yeah. he -- no, it's interesting. he made pretty clear to me that he sees ivanka as the favorite child, which is something that i think a lot of americans intuit to be true. to be faced with that one on one listening to a father of four children say that, he runs through the list of his children and stops at ivanka and says she's the one that i think could be president some day, could have been ambassador to the u.n. or head of the world bank. he considered her for those positions, the latter, because he found her to be very good with numbers. >> your quote is he runs through his children, reminds me of this is ivanka and these are ivanka's brothers. you know, she's clearly -- sh

i have had the pleasure of working with the ivanka trump. she spearheaded this effort. 9 million people have been lifted out of poverty because of the child tax credit. we also increased its refund ability. that will help people. provide for the children and their families. believe the intact family is the most successful department of health, education, and welfare ever conceived. we have also been working with the trump white house and the ivanka trump on paid family leave. we have worked with senator marco rubio, mitt romney on this bill in the senate. as well as senator joni ernst and others. it would allow people to get an advance payment on their social security benefits in order to allow them to stay home for a. of two months to be there with a child at the beginning of the development. these are biblical principles. they are time-honored principles. and they're not partisan. let's go back to the democratic field. am curious about is mayor pete buttigieg. where do you come down on his candidacy as far as the impact he could have. get

we didn't know about ivanka trump doing a proffer session.s i thought i understood that a proffer session is something you do once you are cooperating with prosecutors. it's something that comes up after a plea agreement or something. why would people like the president's daughter be doing a proffer session. >> it can happen in a couple different pos furpz it can be once you're cooperating and the initial step that brings you in to cooperate. prosecutors don't like to buy a pig in a poke and want to see what you have. a proffer you can come in at no rick and tell prosecutors what your testimony would look like if you were cooperating. that could account for someone like ivanka trump coming in if her lawyer believed she had some criminal exposure and needed protection. >> you would do that essentially to offer prosecutors information under terms where you would not get in trouble for telling them what you know? >> that's right. there's usually a letter agreement. that protects the person who is coming in and proffering. if they lie during the

a source tells cnn jared kushner and ivanka trump are among the 25 whose clearance was denied.ing to the whistle blower's claims? >> this has been a partisan fight all day. republicans have just released their own memo chronicling what newbold told them over an interview before the committee. they're casting doubt on how much information she actually would have known in specific security clearance adjudication decisions. essentially they're arguing did she know why someone was denied and that was overruled by senior white house officials? you know, earlier in the day the top republican on the house oversight committee lambasted the chairman of this committee saying this was supposed to be a bipartisan investigation. instead, it's not. and he basically the chairman's investigation is not about restoring integrity to the security clearance process. it's an excuse to go fishing through the personal files of dedicated public servants. so a lot of frustration between republicans and democrats on this committee this afternoon. >> lauren fox, thank you so much. let's talk further abou

although i want to remind the audience ivanka trump two months ago said her father has nothing to do with security clearance. >> so i think we have an 18-year veteran doing thinks security clearances, who is a civil servant, who has come out and said that something stinks in the house when it comes to issuing security clearances, and over the objections of civil servants and of professionals, that that was overruled in the white house for senior white house officials. for something like 25 different persons for security clearances. this is really unacceptable. this is about endangers the security in the united states, the national security of the united states, and having people in control of that information who could be compromised, who could be subject to blackmail, who have things in their background, whether it's financial interests that make them a risk. i think it's important for congress to look at this, and if need be do what chairman cummings is doing and issuing a subpoena to get the records and the information, and to bring people forward who can testify about what it is

now, a source tells cnn both jared kushner and ivanka trump are on the list of 25. important to note here, the president is legally entitled to order a security clearance for anyone he wishes. chairman cummings comparing the clearance overrides to hillary clinton's use of private e-mail server as secretary of state. >> if the violations are accurate, and i do think they are as ms. newbold has told us, i think this is a million times worse. what you have here are people who literally have the top secrets of the world, and they have not been properly cleared. that should alarm each and every american. >> jared kushner responded last night on fox news. >> over the last two years that i have been here, i have been accused of all different types of things, and all of those things have turned out to be false. >> that's apparently a reference to conclusions in the mueller report, which has not been seen by congress or the public. chairman cummings plans to issue a subpoena this morning demanding an interview with carl kline, cummings is sending a subpoena even though kline

and equipment and modernization and it also means better training and reskilling as my colleague ivanka trump would say, reskilling of the work force and the work force is come out of the wood work back in so they'll be counted and the unemployment rate will probably continue to fall i think this is a very ideal situation. >> larry, i want to come back to china for a minute it was interesting listening to you answering jim's question you seem to imply, when lighthizer is in there and he got his checklist, he can go tougher on the chinese with this kind of win at the back of the u.s. economy, is that a fair statement? >>> y >> yes, i agree. that's our position by the way, we'll see this, look, you've got sort of two areas here, again, i'm not forecasting an outcome, because deal is not done yet, has to be a great deal for the u.s. to your point, which i agree, really jimmy's point, first, on the structural issues, we are hanging very tough there must be enforcement, we have to shift the it theft, stop the forced transfer of technology, we have to open up the cloud there. so we can use it from

now, we are learning that jared kushner and ivanka trump were on that list of 25 individuals. n newbold alleges to the committee that these individuals had their security clearances denied because of foreign influence, potential conflicts of interest concerning personal conduct, financial problems, even drug use. she alleges that lackluster safeguards are in place for security clearances and people had got interim security clearances who should not have gotten access to any classified data whatsoever. now, elijah cummings plans to subpoena an individual carl klein to served as a personal security director at the white house who was overseeing this effort and who overruled this whistle blower on a number of occasions. but tonight, wolf, republicans are pushing back. they say that this white house official, her concerns are overblown. they call her an employee who was just not happy with her workplace environment. but nevertheless, democrats plan to push forward subpoenas and plan to continue this as part of their investigation as the security clearance process, wolf. >> that's

what it says the founding myth of ivanka trump is that she is a moderating force, so react to that.he idea. they are saying actually this is a myth. describe her role at the white house and also maybe how it's changed. >> well, i think what she first got to the white house she thought she would do big things and people put that label on her that she would be a moderating force and what we've learned and what the story points out is there's no real evidence of that. the paris climate accord, the discussion that she would help are family and women issues. none of those have played out or panned out and what she's found is a lot of pushback and infighting within the white house. people like john kelly, former chief of staff, not particularly being a fan in this story and tells the write their kelly said that she and jared kushner were playing government so certainly she's tried to morph into a more stabilized portfolio, women's economic issues, global empowerment and global growth for women, s.t.e.m. issues back home, job, family, child care, tax plan, things that she can control and b

eastern on afterwards, an investigative reporter on the careers of jared kushner and i ivanka trump and their roles on the trump administration. interviewed by the former new york observer editor-in-chief. this isdonald trump, the other interesting dynamic, will they at some point become too much of an obstacle for him that he either has to let them go? he goes back and forth on this. he was free us with them when they misused emails because that is what he had gone after hillary clinton with. him to say to john kelly, can you just get rid of them? is itf course the irony is trump, the president, who cannot pull the trigger on his own daughter. tv, sunday on c-span2. next, purchase college history professor issa keller from the state university of new york system delivers an illustrated talk on women's roles during world war ii. she explains how the influx of women joining the workforce and military changed traditional roles and provided the initial spark for the women's movement. st. paul's church in mount vernon, new york posted this hour-long event. good afternoon, everybody, welcome

now, what we have learned that jared kushner and ivanka trump were on the list of those 25 vigilance. and earlier this afternoon, i asked elijah cummings, the house oversight committee chairman about what he hopes mr. kline will tell them nabt jared kushner and ivanka trump's security clearances. >> what i do know is that he apparently got certain information that was contrary to the decision that was finally made to give them the security clearances. and so, i need -- once i know that, then i can figure out, we well, whether this was a decision on his part, a decision on the president's part, but more significantly, why that decision was made. i just don't know. >> do you take any of those concerns seriously? >> i think we take seriously the process that should be played out when we're doing an investigation and the idea that the democrats are going to interview one witness and do a big press conference like they're getting ready to do, issued a big press statement yesterday, and then subpoena someone who's already said they would come in voluntarily, i think that's a problem with an

we have also been working with the trump white house and again with ivanka trump on paid family leave. we have worked with senator marco rubio. i think mitt romney is a co-sponsor of this bill in the senate, along with senators joni ernst and others, that would allow people to get an advanced payment on their social security benefits in order to allow them to stay home for a period of four, six, or eight weeks to be there with that child at the beginning of the development. again, i think these are biblical principles. they are time-honored principles that are not partisan. reporter: let's go back to the democratic field. one person i am curious about is mayor pete buttigieg. he has really seen his star rise, as far as democratic primary voters in the last couple of months. i am curious, where do you come down on his candidacy as far as the impact he could have. if he were to get the nomination, he has pitched himself as a christian. he has come under fire from some conservatives. franklin graham came at him for the way he has framed himself. where do you come down on his candidacy? a

i have had the pleasure of -- the privilege of working with ivanka trump, who spearheaded this effort on the expansion of the child tax credit -- the child tax credit which i worked for when i was in the christian coalition. we got it first at $500. george w. bush expanded it to a thousand dollars. donald trump's tax bill doubled it to $2000. 9 million people have been lifted out of poverty because of the child tax credit. we also increased its refund ability. that will help people provide for the children and their families. we believe the intact family is the most successful department of health, education, and welfare ever conceived. we have also been working with the trump white house and the -- and again with ivanka trump on paid family leave. we have worked with senator marco rubio. i think mitt romney is a cosponsor in the senate, along with senators joni ernst and others, that would allow people to get an advance payment on their social security benefits in order to allow them to stay home for a. -- a period of 4, 6, or eight weeks, to be there with a child at the beginning of
