jared kushner. he brought no actual experience. as working for the commercial real estate business to put it nicely was not always thriving. but none of that mattered because jared was married to the daughter trump loves in the creepiest way ivanka who also landed a plump job in the west wing. kushner became a de facto secretary of state according to trump's actual secretary of state rex tillerson. they kept raising eyebrows, saudi arabia and the crowned prince mohammed salman. he was the biggest defender after u.s. intelligence agencies said he approved the killing of jamal khashoggi according to the intercept, mbs once boasted he had kushner in his pocket. it seems that close relationship is paying off with interest. six months after leaving the white house, kushner received a 2 billion with a b dollars investment for his private equity fund controlled by the saudi crowned prince.

there was no reason for jared kushner to be the person who was handling the saudi brief. mohammad bin salman. while jared was in office and made an impression. and the fact that the crown prince felt that it was worth it to go beyond what his advisers had said -- i find it fascinating that -- first of all, that it's such an easy thing for people who have served in government to start up hedge funds and expect people just give them money. the number of people who have started up hedge funds when they left the trump administration is large. jared kushner got a loan. "the new york times" reports me nuken had experience with investing. he knows what he's doing. mick mulvaney, not so much. he ran omb. so -- poorly, but he ran it. that makes more sense than kushner, who has no relevant experience. so, i agree that it's probably either payback for, you know, service done during the trump administration or an investment in case trump does return to cover. if he does, there's no way kushner is not going to come along with him. >> fox news here, zero mentions of jared kushner. 68 me

jared kushner has no experience in this kind of investing. none. also, there are no other investors in this thing at all. besides us. and our due diligence on their operations, quote, shows that they are unsatisfactory in all aspects. in all aspects. that said, mbs staffers at the saudi fund told these advisers, don't worry, we've told them that after the first $500 million, they really, really have to hire some people who know what they're doing before they get the other billion and a half. you know, after that, you know, fingers crossed, they'll figure out how to manage the other $1.5 billion we'll given them but condition the first $500 million on setting up a company that hires some people who know how to do what jared is asking us for this money for. at leaf the steven mnuchin, he was technically an investor, he had been a treasury secretary, i mean he had a money-shaped hole in which you could insert a billion, right? he was like a money guy. but jared kushner? he ran his dad's real estate firm for a while when it got into money trouble? i me

so, we don't know exactly what jared kushner said.y have been fairly innocuous things he like this is the person who arrived on this day and that day. and those things can be helpful to connect the dots or identify witnesses they didn't previously know about. and one reference to sending an email to jared kushner in the context of releasing the cracken and getting sidney pole to be the lead and the face of the effort to overturn the election from the contectst of that text message, it sounds like jared kushner was at least being asked to be intimately involved in that strategy. i'd want to ask about that and i think that could involve uncomfortable details for donald trump. >> for sure. and eugene, so he's the first trump family member to speak and his wife is ivanka, the former president's daughter. >> i think chairman, bennie thompson, said himself they're still in contact with her team, trying to figure out what agreement they can get to do get her to speak to the committee. because the committee definitely wants to hear from her.

jared kushner has only ever worked for his parents and for his father in law.s never managed money for anyone, how unusual is it for the saudi government to give someone with no background in investing two billion bucks tibet manage. but >> i think it is pretty unusual i think about soft bank group which started the vision fund and did not have direct experience in this area even though there are a multinational conglomerate. it is very unusual. as you will see from our story staff and from the documents that we looked at, there were a lot of reservations expressed at the senior official a level in this public investment fund which manages 620 billion dollars for saudi arabia's people. they talked about unsatisfactory due diligence, i. e. research and potential investment in all respects. they talked about the lack of experience by the principal, in this case jared kushner. they talked about fears that the p. i. f would bear the bulk of the risk and responsibility for helping this fund to succeed. and also bearing the downside if it did not but. >> what happene

that committee met yesterday with one jared kushner and today learning more about that meeting. icial interviewed so far. sources tell nbc news that kushner the first trump family interviewed by the committee cooperative, friendly and did most of the talking opposed to lawyers. with his interview in the book questions swirled about who the committee might interview next. nkz reported that the ex-president's daughter is in talks to appear voluntarily as well. joining us is jackie alamani and miles taylor is back. executive director of the renew america movement. it wasn't knowable at the time but turns out that monday's opinion, ruling by a federal judge in central california was just ignition fuel for the committee's case, pressure on doj and for this larger argument they're making. let me read from the opinion that started the week. i don't have it. here it is. judge carter says if eastman and trump's plan worked it would have ended the peaceful transition of power under the constitution. that is the reason for liz cheney's role as vice chair, the animating sort of cause of her

he's so bad, the guy that vets investments for mbs was worried about jared kushner. investors in kushner's fund was that he would like to avoid media attention. he testified before the january 6 committee. did the saudis buy that? >> it's pretty pretty interesti. i can imagine that kushner was trying to keep a low profile at this point in time. remember, nicole, one thing striking about this story is the documents we're quoting from are dated late june of 2021. by that point in time, it's less than six months after kushner left his white house job and he's already well under way with this saudi deal. presumably he's been to riyadh to discuss the deal, provided a pitch book and all the particulars. that would have been weeks if not months prior in order to pull that information together and give the saudi fund time to consider it. it's possible that he was hoping to lock them in as a cornerstone investment which is what he ultimately got. they became the anchor, if you will, the cornerstone of the deal and then the plan i think was probably to go from there and try to

the january 6 committee today heard from jared kushner.about what he had to say to the committee, or equally important, what he didn't say? rep. lofgren: well, as you know, judy, it's the policy of the committee not to discuss the testimony of the witnesses without a vote of the committee, which has not occurred. so i'm sorry, i can't get into that with you. judy: does his testimony, in your view, help the committee reach its goal, which is understanding what happened on january 6 of last year? rep. lofgren: as you know, we have heard from hundreds, hundreds of witnesses, so very close to the former president, some in his closest in a circle, others not as close. we are piecing together the information. as you are aware, there have been some high-profile individuals who have refused to testify, which is wrong. but we are going to great lengths to put together the facts, then we will be able to lay it out for the american people. judy: speaking of foreign calls, now that we know there was almost an eight hour gap in the official phone recor

you know, jared kushner actually wasn't at the white house on january 6th.erseas business trip so there's only so much he can provide. the key person that the committee is still very interested in talking to is his wife, ivanka trump. >> all right, for now, allie raffa, we will stay on this and see how it proceeds, because so much more to develop when it comes to the january 6th investigation. thank you. >>> by the way, in the next hour, former u.s. attorney barbara mcquade is going to join me to talk about what if anything ramifications ginni thomas's actions could have for herself or her husband. >>> and congresswoman zoe lofgren is going to be my guest to discuss how the committee plans to move forward and whether they're going to subpoena ginni thomas. >>> our coverage continues from poland, where thousands are crossing the border every single day. some of them, cancer-stricken children in dire need of treatment. i'm going to talk to a woman working to get those kids here to the united states. working to get those kids here to the unitestd ates allergies

>> jared kushner called me and got involved late in the game it was after the elections, he knew maybeember, january. the quantities of vaccines the u.s. will receive, they would sign a contract withd us, 100 billing doses. here in the u.s. signed, i told them repeatedly, are you sure you don't want to make 200? then we were successful and others weren't much they wanted more. weaved involved everything. in any case we agree to provide additional millionhe dollars. jared was very helpful, there's a lot of things the bureaucracy was how to sign a contract. we told them there is a contract, 100 billingnn doses, whatever it is. it was for a concept and now it isis approved. but then they wanted all 100 million and i told her we don't have any to be sold. everything made in the u.s. stays in the u.s. but i cannot do that because we are only making them in the u.s. so we can't go to europe, we need to give to the whole world. i hear you but i care for america. in other words, it was a disagreement and eventually we found quantities because increased production way more and eventually we end

jared kushner, donald trump's son-in-law and former aide appeared before the january 6th committee. terview lasted more than six hours. cnn's caitlyn polantz is live in washington. what do we know about what kushner actually said? >> reporter: laura, this time we don't know what was said in this interview but one committee member did tell cnn that he was volunteering information about january 6th. laura, the interviews can go one of two ways, they're short, they don't answer and they have an official reason why they're not going to engage. this is substantial interview, six hours, even for this type of investigation. six hours is a lot of time for someone to be sitting with the committee including someone like kushner especially. so now the question is whether kushner revealed anything the committee didn't know about his father-in-law, about what happened in the white house on january 6th. >> so we know the committee is also really interested in getting to the bottom of what happened with the seven-hour gap in the white house call records from january 6th. you've been doing some grea

that's about two more hours than her husband jared kushner gave the committee last week.ike her husband who was returning from a trip to saudi arabia january 6, ivanka trump was actually in the room as it happened that as the attack was unfolding. keith kellogg who served as mike spence's national security adviser told investigators that ivanka trump was present in that office that day and overheard a late morning phone call in which her father tried to pressure mike fence from stopping the electoral certification a few hours later. according to multiple accounts, multiple officials reached out to ivanka trump to try to get her to get her father to call off the riot. documents detail how ivanka trump made multiple unsuccessful attempts to get her father to stop the attack hours passed without any action from him. there's some indication that investigators might have actually got answers from ivanka trump today. this was the january 6th investigation chair bennie thompson talking with nbc news outside the hearing. >> she answered questions i mean, you know, not in broad, c

jared kushner, former-president trump's son-in-law, then senior adviser, met with the january 6th select highest-ranking trump administration official to speak with the committee so far. an nbc news source described him as cooperative and friendly saying he did the talking instead of his lawyer. kushner voluntarily agreed to appear before the panel, and at least one member of the committee said kushner's interview provided much-needed insight. >> what i will say is that, you know, we were able to, um, ask for his impression about these third-party accounts of the events that happened that day and around that day. so he was able to voluntarily provide information to us, to verify, substantiate, provide his own, you know, take on -- on this different reporting. so it was really valuable for us to have the opportunity to speak to him. >> so jonathan lemire, you have written an entire book about this episode about january 6th. the days before and after. and the attempt to steal the 2020 election away. um, what does this committee specifically do you think want to know from jared kushner? it

jared kushner is like anna delvey if someone had actually sent her that wire transfer. season on "inventing ivanka." never trust a guy named jared. that's that. meanwhile, i had a whole thing with marjorie taylor greene and the temple of dumb this weekend. you know, you may have heard the congressmonster was not happy about a comment i made about her on the show. she even called the cops on me. me she would like arrested, but the people who attacked the capitol, it's time to drop that already. >> you know what i think? i think the american people are fed up with this overdramatization of a riot that happened here at the capitol one time. >> jimmy: right. one time. if it happens again, then we take a look at it. i feel like marjorie taylor greene is a phenomenon that could've been prevented with a high enough dose of valtrex. but she appeared on a podcast hosted by the disgraced, but-still-going congressman matt gaetz. who joined forces with the green goblin to complain about me. >> jimmy kimmel is a total jerk. >> jimmy: okay, go on. >> jimmy kimmel is a total jerk. it
