from the saudis we know the president, former president >> last weekend we got new details on jared kushner the extra president benefited from saudi money since leaving the white house. kushner, who had somebody cozy relationship with prince mohammed l salman and lead the push for his father not to prior to his relationship with the saudis including making the first foreign trip, received two billion dollars from a fund chaired by the crowned prince known as mbs, nice work if you can get. at the ex president also benefited from saudi-backed tournaments at his golf course. and 30 real state companies bid to build a planted on her. seems a great opportunity for the house oversight committee if they had given access to an inch themselves something that james comer was asked about sunday. >> two billion dollar investment in kushner's funds from the saudis we know the president, former president trump has also received funds related to saudi golf tour. senator ron weiss says these financial entanglements deserve investigation. will you be investigating that as well? >> i think everything is on t

there, jared kushner.ogg. i'm probably missing some. kayleigh i think was there, but i don't -- theirs dan scavino. >> joining us now is andrew weissmann,, former fbi general counsel of former chief of the criminal division and eastern district of new york, professor of practice at nyu law school and msnbc legal analyst. andrew there was white house counsel telling us that ivanka was in there and jared kushner was in there trying to get on trump to stop the attack on the capitol and it didn't work. what do you expect their contributions to the grand jury to be? >> it's not surprising that jack smith would be subpoenaing both jared kushner and ivanka trump. they are close confidants obviously and they are closely related to the former president. that's the reason they were call to the january 6th committee. it's important to note in addition to what you pointed out, not just what happened on january 6th but they can talk about the election, about their feelings about whether there was fraud or no fraud the

but mohammed bin salman overrode them and said we're putting them in with jared kushner.for the war against yemen, for the blockade against qatar, and specifically for a protection for the homicidal crown prince when he ordered the assassination, kidnapping, dismemberment of jamal khashoggi, which you will recall, the turkey and the cia said clearly it was done by saudi agents. and donald trump and kushner helped cover the whole thing up. trump bragged to bob woodward, we saved his ass. -- >> meaning bin salman. >> yeah. he saved the crown prince. and when pompeo went over there he said, remind him that he owes us. tell him that he owes us. so we want to know exactly, what did saudi arabia get? we know that jared kushner got two billion dollars out of it, a 25 million dollar management fee every year, which is basically like an annuity on a billion dollars. so that's a very serious business that raises profound problems about conflict of interest, and indeed the constitution and the -- clause which says that nobody who is in federal government, a high-ranking fight how wh

think about also what ivanka trump's and jared kushner's roles were in the white house.on why they had this front row seat to this infamous moment. it makes sense special counsel jack smith is going to want to talk to them. remember the january 6th house investigators also spoke to ivanka trump and jared kushner, and they frankly came away with a scathing assessment of ivanka's testimony saying she wasn't very forthcoming and one of her aids happened to know more about the events unfolding around january 6th that ivanka trump did. if you were jack smith, of course you're going to check this box. this is a place other investigators have gone before. it's not the same escalation as we saw with him going after former vice president mike pence, but still very unusual. >> i want to get some perspective now from cnn's legal analyst and former deputy assistant attorney general elliott williams. what can they get from these two that the january 6th committee couldn't? >> more importantly anderson the justice department can enforce its own subpoenas, which congress can't. if cong

i'm talking about jared kushner. has been provided about the presidents son, hunter biden, who has always been a private citizen. but there is a bunch of new evidence about jared kushner, who was a senior adviser, lest we forget, in the trump white house. this is the first day of his father in law's presidency, and kushner had both informal communications and regular meetings with the shot saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman or mbs and, he pushed trump to try ties a relationship with the saudis, and even astonishingly, make saudi arabia has first foreign trip. according to kushner's own memoir, trump initially objected to the idea, quote, jared, read my lips, we're not going to saudi arabia. take no for an answer. but as kushner told it, quote, i didn't interpret his words as a hard no. eventually, trump relented on that close relationship, and ended up paying off big time for both of them. according to a new washington post expose a, quote, the day after leaving the white house, kushner created a company that he

both jared kushner and ivanka trump testified to the january six committee.trump was with her father on january 6th before the attack on the capitol. >> when i entered the office, the second time, he was on the telephone with way later found out to be the vice president. the conversation was pretty heated. it was a different tone that i had heard him take with the vice president before. >> some witnesses testified that ivanka trump tried to get her father to tell the people attacking the capitol to stop. >> when you talk about others on the staff thinking more should be done or thinking that the president needed to tell people to go alma, who would you put in that category? >> well, i would put eric herschmann, all feldman, overall mark, meadows, ivanka, once jurors got their, jarred, general kellogg. i'm probably missing some. kayleigh i think was there, but i don't. dan scavino. >> gina snows andrew weissmann, former fbi general counsel of former chief of the criminal division and eastern district of new york, proofs professor in practice it nyc law school

reporting special counsel jack smith has subpoenaed and ivanka trump and jared kushner, from the andunderscores how deeply into his inner circle he's reaching in the latest sign that no potential high- level witness is off-limits, and seeking to block them from testifying, executive privilege as he is tried with other witnesses. and they served as white house officials and stop them testifying to the select committee, investigating the january 6 attack and everything that led to it.>>> harry, this feels significant, and yet from trump's perspective, i hate even utter that phrase, he did permit them to speak it would appear without parameters to the congressional committee? >> but that doesn't undermine the significance. >> explain the significant. >> once again smith is uncounted by any witness, going for the jugular. >> after liz cheney. >> i get it, but not the first person to have invited them. >> but he has the power, he could think it over, maybe he even was, but in addition, another indication that we are in the endgame, why does he want ivanka trump and jared kushner, a were i

here is cnn's sara murray. >> reporter: think about also what ivanka trump and jared kushner's roles were in the white house. that was unusual, that is part of the reason they had this sort of front row seat to this infamous moment. so it makes sense that special counsel jack smith will want to talk to them. remember january 6 house investigators also spoke to both ivanka trump and jared kushner and they frankly came away with a pretty scathing assessment of ivanka trump's system saying she wasn't forthcoming and one of her aides happened to remember more about the events than ivanka did. so if you are the special counsel and trying to this investigation, of course you will check this box. this is a place other investigators have gone before. not the same escalation as we saw with him going after mike pence, but still as you said very unusual. >> ivanka trump was in the oval office when president trump called mike pence to pressure him not to certify the election. she also attended her father's rally near the white house that very same day. >>> israelis and palestinians appear to be

lay it out for us. >> it really starts with jared kushner convincing donald trump to use his first foreigns president of the united states to go to saudi arabia, which was a suggestion so shocking and startling that everybody in the trump administration's own foreign policy group, including the secretary of state, opposed that even trump said it was not going to work because of the horrific human rights situation in saudi arabia and their terrible record of abusing the rights of women and the trouble they make abroad and so on. but nonetheless, kushner was able to convince them somehow it would be in their best interest to do it. trump went over there, and that began a very deep and intimate embrace with the saudi regime and with mohamed bin salman covering up their human rights abuses, aligning with them in their blockade against qatar, and then even helping to cover up for mohamed bin salman's order of the assassination and brutal dismemberment by drawing and quartering a "washington post" contributing columnist jamal khashoggi. >> right. >> you remember he was over in turkey. and both k

the difference between jared kushner and hunter biden is that jared kushner actually sat down with was interviewed. he was interviewed by investigators. so he's already been investigated. thus far hunter biden's attorneys, the president's attorneys, the president's white house, they're doing everything they can to block our investigation. hopefully the biden family will be as cooperative as jared kushner with our investigation as they were with the january 6th investigations and all the other investigations of the trump administration. so i think this is a problem. i think that there can be a bipartisan, legislative solution, but we can't get to that point until we know the extent of what the biden family influenced, especially with respect to communist china. >> thank you. i think we only learned of the $2 billion saudi investment from "the washington post." thanks for your time this morning. >>> the round table is coming up. we're live on turkey with the earthquake efforts and the rescue committee president, david miliband. h the earthquake efforts and the rescue committee president,

in this case we're seeing now that murdaugh was seemingly willing to help jared kushner and the trump campaign have an edge over biden. we saw in the previous filing, where he said do whatever you can to help in the georgia special election. i'm assuming that doesn't mean helped emma crowds. so it really has exposed fox for this gop propaganda arm that it has been for some time but we've never seen the evidence like this. we've never seen it from the horses mouth. >> not fair and not balance clearly now an interesting lee in 2000, and that presidential campaign, someone sent our debate information to the bush campaign they went to prison. >> i remember that story, that feels like justice. that feels right. the fact that he was sharing debate strategy, joe biden would've done. >> this was another system, not rupert murdoch. >> here -- >> it's horrible journalistically, and trying to figure out what the crime is. there's gotta be more of that story. it's not necessarily a crime. it's horrible journalistic practice. it goes to the intent, perhaps there was a lie to an fbi investigator th

in this case, jared kushner and ivaupga will go into a grand jury room without their lawyers. they will be there just with the prosecutors and the grand jurors. and on top of that, they already have established testimony that they cannot deviate off of based on the congressional investigation that they already cooperated with, that donald trump allowed them to cooperate with or didn't try to stand in the way of them talking to investigators. so it's a different situation. there's more potential things that could go wrong. it's more serious. obviously it's serious when you come in and are interview by anyone in an investigation. but it just shows that they don't really care and makes you wonder. >> and he's not president anymore. >> and it makes you wonder how much the mueller team did care and other investigations that went on at the justice department, other things that came up. they certainly acted differently then than they did now and to me that's an interesting contrast. >> it's hard to exert executive privilege if you're not the executive anymore. where do you see the le

special counsel jack smith has subpoenaed the former president's daughter ivanka and son-in-law jared kushner. earlier this month, the special counsel issued a subpoena for vice president pence. sources tell abc news the subpoenas for kushner and ivanka trump are specifically related to the special counsel's investigation of january 6th and the efforts of the former president and his allies to overturn the 2020 election. this comes as the fulton county georgia district attorney considers whether to seek an indictment against donald trump and his allies for tampering with georgia's 2020 election results. and now in the georgia case, something highly unusual has happened. the forewoman of the 23-person special grand jury that investigated the case is talking publicly about the grand jury's work, revealing they recommended >> not a short list.. >> reporter: she says she decided to speak because serving on a grand jury was, quote, a really cool experience. but she's giving her opinion of the case even though most of the grand jury's work remains under seal. >> i will be sad if nothing happens. li

stay in power after losing the 2020 election has subpoenaed his daughter ivanka and her husband jared kushnery to block them on the grounds of executive privilege because both worked in the white house, and kushner and ivanka were with him on january 6th, and testified before the house select committee. and joining us isis elie honig. i would like to start with this news of jared and ivanka. will they end up testifying and fight it or will the former president try to fight it for them? >> well, i think they will testify and we won't see it, because it is in the grand jury which is of course behind closed doors, but they will be made to testify, because it is a grand jury subpoena, and it is not optional. the only real way they could fight it is either for the tre s -- the recipients jared or ivanka to claim executive privilege, and the problem i thd before the january 6th committee and that means they have already waived their executive privilege, and so that means that if they have had some executive privilege, they have given it away. >> elie, how significant is this? >> well, it shows that

subpoenaed two of the former president's closest confidants, his daughter ivanka and son-in-law jared kushnerrk times." let's get more now from our senior crime and justice reporter katelyn polantz. what else could you tell us? >> well, wolf, if it was not clear before, it should be now that the grand jury investigation around donald trump, around january 6 wants to go the heart of the white house and ask questions about the president himself at that time. we have seen multiple subpoenas to top people like the vice president, rudy giuliani, the white house chief of staff and others, now the president's daughter and his son-in-law are also being subpoenaed according to "the new york times." now "the new york times" did not lay out the timeline for this subpoena. and there are things that could happen here. there is a possibility donald trump would want to step in and try to block some of their testimony. maybe doesn't want them to answer some questions. however, they both spoke to the house select committee pretty extensively and at one point ivanka trump in her deposition with the house selec

>> naveen, murder dak according to this deposition gave jared kushner, president trump's son-in-law andadviser, gave him confidential information about then presidential candidate joe biden's tv ads, according to the filing, along with debate strategy. i mean, giving that information about tv ads alone, any other network, that person, there would be an apology there would be recriminations. it's unbelievable. >> no, it absolutely is. and i think a lot of people have sort of felt this way. maybe it was mostly on the left. i think what these depositions sort of reveal is that all americans should really view fox news as nothing but a propaganda machine. they really have underscored that they're there to help one political party, one political candidate. and i push back a little bit on lanhee's comments that this wasn't about donald trump. they were after viewers. they were willing to lie and spew things they knew were lies and give a platform to liars in order to try and attract viewers. those same viewers are there still that is the maga world that is the same argument that a lot of peop

what is your take on special counsel jack smith subpoenaing jared kushner and ivanka trump? they did both speak to your committee but they didn't remember much. do you really think that's going to change this time around? >> well, you know i have no more insight into what is going on in jack smith's investigation, the special counsel investigation anybody else does. we are not in touch with them, so i don't know exactly why they are subpoenaing them. it seems clear to me that both of those witnesses had a lot of information about what was going on in the lead up to january six and then on january six itself. jared kushner was over in saudi arabia working presumably on public business although he did come back the day after the trump administration and it creating his new private equity business that was then quickly financed with two billion dollars from the royal crown prince of saudi arabia in sovereign wealth funds. but that when he got back, he clearly was involved in some of the things going on and he and ivanka are both privy to those conversations. they testified to t

as we understand it's both for jared kushner and ivanka trump.estify before a grand jury in connection with the january 6th investigation, which encompasses not just the riot at the capitol by a pro-trump mob on january 6, 2021, but also trump's efforts to stay in office. this is the latest in a series of very, very aggressive moves taken by special counsel jack smith showing he does not consider any witness to be off-limits. mike pence was the other surprising and obviously high level subpoena recently issued. >> fascinating. maggie haberman, thank you for that breaking discuss. here to discuss. what does this tell you about how the special counsel's velgz is progressing? >> well, it tells us two things, jake. one is that they tell us this is very serious individual, the special counsel. he's not pulling any punches. he's going right to the top to get the witnesses and evidence he needs to investigate this and make his case. the other thing it tells me we're probably -- in other words typically you'd get lower ranking witnesses and work your way

says that during trump's campaign rupert murdoch provided trump's son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushners along with the big strategy before it was public, effectively, i would assume, giving that campaign an edge over biden. this is one of the many things that we are learning in these documents that show that rupert was helping to work with the gop, and another part of the filing, or the previous filing, there was talk about doing anything you can't help down georgia where there is of course that special senate race. so again, this goes back -- to paint a broader picture of fox. not necessarily as a news network at its core, but one that really works to push republican talking point, something we have known for a while. these documents are pretty damning. >> all over darcy, thank you haberman, lee levine, i appreciate. it coming up next, the defense in the alex murdaugh trial, they rested their case with the witness suggesting to shooters to the killing. details ahead. advil targets pain at the source. acetaminophen blocks, pain signals, advil, dual action. your record label is taking o

. >> these documents reveal more about murdoch's relationship with jared kushner. kushner about debate strategy, how unusual is that type of media relationship? >> well, i mean, look, if you go back in history, you'll find instances where newspaper owners back in the old days, even some media moguls were allied with political figures, but in recent times, modern times, that's not usual. in modern times there has been a distance between the people who own the large media organizations and the politicians they cover. at least they're supposed to be. that's the theory anyway. you knew already, and what this underscores how close the murdaughs were to the kushners. they were personal friends. i think it was murdaugh's previous wife that helped bring ivanka and jared back together after a fight, and they were at each other's weddings and all that kind of thing. there's a personal relationship going back a long ways, and it reveals, again, what that four years of trump's presidency were all about in terms of relationship to fox. it was not a hands off, distant relationsh

. >> on the special counsel, you have got jared kushner and ivanka trump now subpoenaed.'ll try executive privilege? >> that's what i imagine would happen. you probably all know better than me. it seems like the president -- former president has tried to exert executive privilege when anyone close to him has been -- >> they're going to testify. so is mike pence. this idea that the speech and debate clause, he's a member of the legislative branch -- >> he's not going to. >> everybody can say they don't, but grand jury subpoenas having issued many of them in my life, are pretty compulsory documents and i don't think there's going to be a judge who lets mike pence or jared kushner or ivanka trump not testify. they can take five if they want. they can plead five, but that means that you have evidence that may incriminate you. there's stuff that's implied about taking five. the former president used to say, the only reason someone takes five is if they're guilty. he used to say that all the time. >> we have a short time here, but i want to end where we began, and that's ukrain

. >> so then there is the ask of both jared kushner and ivanka trump.bpoenas put out there by the special counsel right? frank bowman, former federal prosecutor telling slate this, they will have a little bit of a problem refusing given that they've already testified to the january 6th. house committee, we don't necessarily know which way they will go on this but considering the legal arguments that the trump team has been making and the lead up to all of this right? and how hard former presidents attorneys are trying to avoid the subpoenas, it's not out of the realm of possibility. >> it's not out of the realm of possibility that they will make the argument and as you know, in trump, world sometimes delay is itself though when it that they are looking? right before they can push this candle down the road, the harder it is for jack smith for example to bring his investigation to a conclusion, before a meaningful moment in the presidential campaign. that being, said i think it's a much easier question than the pence won. ivanka trump, jared kushner, that

i will also ask him about ivanka trump and jared kushner being subpoenaed by the special counsel. what does that mean for donald trump? let's go to the war in ukraine, entering officially u2 with a blitz of new russian attacks. new overtures by china for a pea -- peace initiative over newest field of china's relationship with russia. all this as president zelenskyy makes another push for american f-16 fighter jets. and missy's erin mclaughlin has the rest from kyiv. good morning to you, erin. >> hi there, alex. last night, president biden telling abc news that he is ruling out sending f-16 fighter jets to ukraine for now, something the ukrainian leadership has been asking for. take a listen to what the president had to say. >> we are sending him what our seas in the military things he needs now. he needs tanks, he needs a teller, in his air defense, including another high marks. there are things he needs now that they are fenn sending him to be in a position to make gains. the spring and the summer. >> you don't think he needs at 16 is now? >> no he does not. there is no basis upo

i also think with someone like ivanka trump or jared kushner who are allied with the former presidentpose of putting them in the grand jury is that there are so much to learn new things as they block them into a story. what you can't have happen is he present your case and then on the defense case, they come in and testify about things. they say, i was never asked about this topic, but let me tell you all about it. there can't be any surprises. -- was what will be the purpose of the grand jury testimony here. i suspect that they will ask them every question, everywhere they can think of to make sure they really locked that down. -- >> i am so sorry, finish your thought. >> in regards to scott perry, i think all of that will move quickly. scott perry as a stronger claim, as a member of congress, about the speech and the big clause. that really only extends through the scope of legislative matters. i think that that will be paired down and will pave the way for a decision and the pence case, as well. >> you go, one of the reasons i wanted to make sure i talk to you tonight is because yo
