this is the heart of the kushner company. while jaredtepped down as ceo of the kushner companies the last couple of years he's very much making money from the complexes as we speak. he's making about $90 million a year from downscale apartment complexes. these are really the bread and butter of the company. they are making a lot of money from these low income, working class tenants in 8,000 or 9,000 apartments in the baltimore area. >> i want to ask you about this woman. you personalize this and talk about a woman, if i'm saying it correctly, kamiya warren. >> yes. >> she moved into a townhouse in baltimore and moved out after a neighbor harassed her. she said the landlords did nothing. she's low income. three years later she's being sued over this for thousands of dollars. the company who is suing her was owned by kushner companies. what happened to her? >> it was an amazing story. she moved out several years before kushner bought the complexes. she starts getting letters threatening her for having broken her lease when she had gotten p

and also, can i just say did jared kushner not think that middle east peace was a hard enough puzzle? did he think that maybe giving the saudis the nuke would be -- >> would have more on later this show. >> one of the things i've been thinking about a lot this week is whether -- we've been talking about whether it's a strategy or a tactic or whether it's going to work or not work. i don't think it's about whether it's going work. i think it's that he is willing to rip the country completely apart. >> yes. >> in order to win reelection. he doesn't care about the consequences of basically ripping the scab off of white supremacy and racism in this country, which already is leading to violence, can lead to more violence. it's like a tinderbox. he is basically letting it go free, and he doesn't care if anybody gets hurt. that's the scary part for me. >> the story that he is hiding is that his son -- >> son-in-law. >> son-in-law got together with an american billionaire to profit from selling secrets of nuclear secrets to a murderous foreign government. >> in the most dangerous part of the

hi jared kushner. it's good to have you with us here in france twenty four we begin in the united states with the federal reserve has lowered interest rates for the first time in a decade. the quarter percentage point cut is a controversial move that is unlikely to be hailed by the us president donald trump. who especially the central bank to act f for more on this storye can bring in our business edito? kate -- to moody good evening kate donna what does this decision mean for us customers on the ground what remember that central banks usually change monetary policy lowering. interest rates during times of economic crisis or recession but to boost borrowing and therefore spending this move there for rap scene as a preventative rather than reactive. not sick of the graph of the last twenty years or so at the federal funds rate was slashed during the financial crisis he remained very low throughout the entire recovery phase. and it's only been grown up very gradually since the end of twenty fifteen this

[ technical difficulties ] [ inaudible ] [ no audio ] >> it is particularly ironic that the president is making comments when we know here in baltimore county in 2017 that his son-in-law directly contributed to some of the neglect that the president is so concerned about today. >> reporter: in fact, back in 2017, baltimore county found more than 200 code violations by kushner companies at the various properties. everything from lack of plumbing, to rodent infestation. >> at this property called essex park one ten on the told the new york times and propublica that her apartment was infested with mice and so bad there were mouse droppings everywhere, mice in the laundry hamper and mice in her daughter's bed. the count threatened to fine kushner companies unless it made the necess

. >> jared kushner has. >> yes, but the man who is talking about rat-infested -- and this is, you knowis is what he sort of says about cities he doesn't like. the same language he used for chicago. rat-infested. it's crime-ridden -- i just want to say that it's kind of crazy that you keep doing the same thing, saying the same thing, and, you know, cummings had a good reason to say that there was a problem. remember -- i might have mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, that world war ii started in 1939, from 1941 to 1945, tens of thousands of jews were kept in nazi labor camps. >> right. >> there was a camp called camp theresienstadt theresienstadt. when the red cross was invited to inspect the camp in 1944, the nazis hid the fact of what they were doing, and they built a fake camp, and it was kind of like, no. everything's fine here. everybody was eating. people were walking around singing and stuff. so when people say there's a problem -- >> mm-hmm -- >> -- you can't send folks to one place and say, no, no. everything's good. that's why i say, republicans, democrats, independents, all

president trump has been trusted -- entrusted the future of middle east peace alongside jared kushnere garrett,

, and this time another friend of jared kushner, rick gerson. he turns up multiple times in the mueller report, for funneling a putin approved document that he obtained from an investment fund and delivered that to the kremlin with direct approval from vladimir putin. so that happens in december of 2017. then in january of 2017, hey, there's george nader again. this time at a meeting in the seychelles islands so erik prince could meet the same russian investments guy. erik prince was supposed to be an emissary of the trump administration. they meet in the seychelles islands in a meeting that's described in detail. and it's still mysterious in the mueller report, but again, in the middle of the meeting there's that guy, the child porn guy, george nader. once trump took office he's described as a frequent presence to the white house in particular to spend time with steve bannon in his white house office just off the oval. he also reportedly was part of multiple perspectives made to the trump administration involving elliot broidy, who's under crim

. >> yes, the group could be hit with subpoenas after they have authorized subpoenas for jared kushner, and the former deputy general rod rosenstein, and jeff sessions, and several who are expected to get subpoenas. and also to david pecker the head of the parent company "national enquirer" to dig into the money to keep quiet marital affairs before the 2016 elections, and whether the white house would ultimately comply with the requests, they have so far pushed back and they could end up in court. and jared kushner was in the house judiciary office spaces moments ago but not on this issue of criminal justice reform, and i asked if they brought up the notion that the same committee that authorizes a subpoena for jared kushner and they said it did not come up. >> thank you, manu raja up on the hill. >> and now joining us is congressman tim ryan. >> thank you, wolf. >> start with the breaking news that president trump's announcement that this census may be an admission of defeat on his part of the courts, but could he spin it as a political win? >> well, he can try, but it is a big loss f

we should note that jared kushner stepped down in early 2017. he is still a stake holder in that company. the president's attacks come days after the house oversight committee of which congressman cummings is the chair voted to subpoena e-mails from kushner and his wife. joining me now the pro publica reporter part of the investigation. this is startling story to me. kushner properties involvement in baltimore and their build out and what's been happening in that city with regards to kushner and the properties. expand more on the story in which i brought viewers up to date on. >> it's really quite extraordinary. i think a lot of people are not aware that jared kushner who are most known for these fancy buildings in new york makes a lot of money in these down scale, low income apartment come pl complexes in abandonment. 8,000 units, about 20,000 people living in them. when the president said what human beings would choose to live in baltimore, several thousands live in these come pl complexes owned by his son-in-law. the conditions are pretty ble

those people that would be subject to those subpoenas include jared kushner and ivanka trump. a lot of sore points at the white house as the controversy heightens and the rage continues in the fallout over what president trump is doing. >> jo. >> mike viqueira, thanks so much. >>> joining me now is david leventhal and -- jonathan -- >> the basic question. why is this unfolding and why is it happening right now? >> number one, i think the president obviously, as mike reported, is not happy with congressman cummings. they actually at one point were looking to broker a deal on lowering prescription drug prices together. but the president is not happy with the congressman over his investigation and interrogation of kevin maclien in terms -- jared kushner's money is tied to ivanka trump's money and to donald trump's grandchildren's money. jared kushner owns what critics have called slums just around, you know, the slum apartment complexes around congressman cummings' district. there's a lot of political push here. at the same time, here's another backdrop, jo. you've got the presid

if you try to bring in do not mcmcgahn, jared kushner, i hope you enjoy a long legal fight. but the lawyer that negotiated hush money deals between stormy daniels, karen mccould goal, keith davidson is going to make any argument same with the head of national inqui"national enqu. he won't be able to make that argument either. >> this is a kitchen sink day. we've seep this process devolve with the white house not wanting to give an inch. some negotiations around the edges but today they are basically throwing subpoena authorizations at the white house and other issues. this is russia investigation, this is obstruction, hush money payments, this is the border situation, this is zero tolerance. there are so many things they are going after basically hoping a few of these things will creep through and they can put a spotlight on issues they don't feel like have gotten a thorough vetting in the public. >> we're looking at chairman jerry nadler. it's important to note this committee, if they authorize these subpoenas, which would not be a surprise, doesn't mean the subpoenas will

they were shocked that he would be included, the ceo of the qatar airlines it must have been a jared kushner idea, this person said maybe jared's getting 666 fifth avenue refinanced right now in this meeting so some intense frustration here on the part of some familiar with this meeting that the qatari side even attended. when you look at the list of airlines that are in the room with the president today, you see that it is some of the big american names, american airlines, yufr nighted, jet blue, and also qatar, fedex and atlas, which is a cargo carrier. both sides of this debate are represented in this room now, i can also tell you that i spoke to a white house official just now about this who pushes back on this characterization of events and says that qatar was always scheduled to be in this meeting and that jared kushner is not scheduled to attend the meeting. that is he wasn't on the official invite list for the meeting. the person familiar with the meeting initially said that they suspected that jared kushner had been the person to suggest that the qataris be invited but the white hou

jared kushner, jeff sessions, rod rosenstein, john kelly.is going to say sure, right, any time? >> what we've seen so far is they have blocked it and not let them go and testify or people who have testified they haven't let them answer a lot of questions. what's interesting about that tactic are a lot of people on that list are people that did not work in the administration. corey lewandowski, david pecker. those are people that are not subject to the same privilege excuses that the white house has used with other people that worked in the white house closely with the president so that will be interesting to see how that plays out, what did those people do. corey lewandowski is protected by any presidential privilege from working in the west wing. >> and david pecker is central to the idea of what did you know about the hush money payments, did you help president trump hide alleged affairs. >> yeah. >> it's just one more battle that looks likely to ending up in court. there are also house democratic subpoenas on issues like the president's t

this is something jared kushner did yesterday. he gave a powerpoint to the president's cabinet.ially trying to get them to buy into this new immigration plan that would deal with border security and merit-based legal immigration system. one of the officials who has worked closely with this -- worked closely with kushner, they feel they have significant republican buy-in. yet i spoke to a lot of senate republican offices, who if they have seen the full text of this legislation said they don't feel like this is going to go anywhere. they're a bit concerned that after criminal justice reform, jared kushner seems to be operating under the belief that one legislative victory means he can easily get another. and that's simply not the case on capitol hill >> what would be the benefit to jump on board? >> there doesn't seem to be any at this point. from a 2020 perspective, this is clearly a messaging document for republicans to point to and say they're doing something on immigration as this border crisis continues. and democrats are releasing their own proposals. so they don't feel like

the reason why jared kushner is they paid to get dirt from the russians on their op bonent and y it wasn't that usable and it wasn't the dirt they really wanted because, of course, they knew the russians had stolen e males. they had much more valuable dirt and even as early as april 2016 papadopoulos that the russians helped with the release of these stolen e-mails and of course, that's the modus operandi the russians would end up using and it was better for the russians to release the wikileaks than release it and get caught. the wikileaks publication gave them some deniablity even if it wasn't very good denyability and the idea that this meeting which they held in secret and this meeting that they all denied having because of course we never had any meetings and don junior was indignant with the idea that anyone would suggest he met with russians during the campaign and then, of course, when it gets revealed, then they come up with this phony statement that the president dictates that the meeting was about adoptions. and so the idea that there's some innocent ruse falls completely flat,

>> oh, well, jared kushner, his family has about 8,000 units here in the baltimore area. they're a huge landlord. they have these massive apartment complexes all around the edge of the city. very downscale, very humble working-class apartment complexes that have all sorts of problems, including a lot of water damage and leaks and a black mold and a lot of mice and rats. i talked to one mother who was so overrun with mice in her apartment that she had to move her bed away from the wall, putting the laundry into a tote bag instead of a hamper because the mice kept jumping into it this is the reality of jared kushner's apartments. so when trump is talking about the infestation in baltimore, to the extent that that exists, it's in part at his son-in-law's apartments. >> i guess the last question is your reaction to someone -- as someone who lives in baltimore, very proud of the city, also documented in detail many of the challenges it faces and also someone who reported out in the industrial midwest to watch the city you live in be used as this kind of racist stand-in to be w

. >> joining us now, going after steve bannon, ivanka trump and jared kushner. >> on its face, the acthese if they are doing presidential business to preserve those records. the presidential enforcement act has no teeth. it is really an advisory type statute. the courts have already held the white house itself is not an agency that is compelled to turnover these records. ultimately, the crazy thing is that the ultimate diskregs rests with the president. >> to that point, if officials are found conducting official government business on personal instruments like a phone, computer, laptop. obviously, this is a campaign that ran on criticizing hillary clinton. >> amazing. >> what is the likelihood they would be held accountable and held accountable for that. >> the likelihood they would be held accountable is low. especially with some of these apps that messages automatically delete. to what degree is it purrly presidential or something mostly personal with a sprinkling of personal business. >> could it open problems for this administration? >> yes, it could. interesting enough, a violati

the reason why jared kushner wanted to be rescued from the meeting and the reason they thought it was a waste of time is because they came to get dirt from the russians. yes, they got bit but it was not really that usable and it wasn't the dirt they really wanted because they knew the russians had stolen e-mails. they had much more valuable dirt and even as early as april 2016 papadopoulos was advised that the russians can help with the anonymous release of the stolen e-mails and of course that is the modus operandi that the russians were abusing is that it's better for the russians to release them to wikileaks and give them directly to the campaign and get caught. the wikileaks publication gave them some deniability that if it was not very good deniability but the idea that this meeting which they held in secret in this meeting that they all denied having because of course, they said we never had any meetings with russians and don junior was indignant that the idea that they would suggest they met with russians and of course when he gets revealed then they come up with this phony sta

the irony, it's the president's own son-in-law and the family company that jared kushner once ran who in the area that's been cited for among other things rodent violations, at least some housing in that area. senator van hollen called it profiting over housing that's run down that's not properly taken care of. randi kaye tonight has more. >> reporter: maggots, mice and mold. that is what tenants in the baltimore area say they have experienced in properties owned by kushner properties, as in jared kushner, the president's son-in-law. >> it's ironic that the president's making these comments that we know his son-in-law directly contributed to some of the neglect that the president purportedly is so concerned about today. >> reporter: in fact, back in 2017, baltimore county found more than 200 code violations by kushner companies at its various properties. everything from lack of plumbing to rodent infestation. >> at this property called essex park, one tenant told "the new york times" and propublica that her apartment was infested with mice. she said it was so bad, there were mouse dro

could it be because of the private communications jared kushner had with mbs?plicated in the killing of jamal khashoggi? that's the story here. but donald trump makes it a racist debate about baltimore and we fall for it again and again. >> but what is the alternative? my goodness, if we don't cover the lying every day -- >> we should absolutely cover the lying. we should absolutely call out the racism that is apparent. but we should also think more carefully about why he's choosing this man as a target. substantively, chairman cummings is going after that red line he drew. donald trump, don't go after my finances, don't go after my kids. that's essentially what they're doing on legitimate grounds. but all of this gets in the mush and even democrats can't explain why they're doing what they're doing. take the things you pointed out about the mueller testimony. i listened to chairman nadler go out and talk about why donald trump should be impeached and he said he's violated the law. the public can't follow that, but the public can follow the ridiculous narrative

jared kushner and former top white house officials like john kelly, the former attorney general jeff sessions. but it also includes individuals that did not work in the white house. that includes corey lewandowski, the former campaign manager, that includes david pecker that oversees the national enquirer. why that's important, we've seen throughout the white house has stone walled on executive privilege groa privilege grounds for testifying or providing any information. what this would do if chairman nadler decides to issue the subpoenas is go after people that don't have that as cover. so perhaps that could get them more information. what it all means is the committee has continued expanding its very lengthy investigation into what's going on. republicans have pushed back saying that this is no different than what the mueller report already laid out. but you are going to see them step forward today on the obstruction piece. the other piece, which is also very important, is the kind of expanded dive into the administration's immigration policies. they will be issuing subpoenas on do

jared kushner, his son-in-law as well as former chief of staff john kelly and former attorney general jeff sessions and others. what is also notable here, wolf, is they will also be targeting potential subpoenas for people who were not in the white house including american media inc. pecker and cory lewandowski and the former campaign manager. why that is important is this -- the white house is firm on not allowing anything that might run into executive privilege be allowed during testimony, be allowed to be turned over to the committee. those individuals never served in the white house. that may open the door to democrats actually getting some of the information that up to this point they have been stonewalled on. again it is up to the committee chairman jerry nadler in terms of when he'll actually issue those subpoenas but on thursday house democrats will certainly lay the groundwork for that to occur. and again, it is an escalation on two more fronts, the myriad of investigations going on on capitol hill, immigration and obstruction, the judicial committee is targeting both again o
