but jared kushner was doing what jared kushner was doing the whole time. you surprised that it didn't get attention before this? >> well, i do think, i think we talked about it a couple years ago, nicole, about kushner and the saudi investment. i think the issue with jared kushner is that he is so ignorant and unschooled that people to some degree expected him to be harmless. he was in a white house making policy, particularly foreign policy, and i think he had his own eyes set on what he would do when he left the white house. jared kushner, his professional life and most of his life overall, was helped along by his father's wealth. he has never really achieved very much on his own. suddenly he leaves the white house, a plan with no hardball investment experience. when people invest a billion dollars like they did with steve mnuchin or $2 billion with jared kushner, they expect to see a return on their money. jared kushner is not somebody any well-healed savvy investor will give that kind of money to unless they think there are other things to be gained fr

>> we are going to investigate jared kushner and ivanka trump. got the right ideas to do so. oversight committee, our ranking member, jamie raskin, has been clear this has been a priority. this is a huge scandal that deserves serious investigation. the abuse of power and possible criminal activity here is immense. and so i think we have a responsibility to the american public to find out why jared kushner received $2 billion two months after leaving the white house. and that's a serious issue, and it's one that i think we're committed to on the oversight committee. >> and congressman, this week we saw hunter biden become the first child of a sitting u.s. president to be indicted. the special counsel, david weiss, charged hunter biden with making false statements on a federal firearms form, lying to federal -- licenses on those gun dealer licenses. obviously can come with it serious problems. do you think these charges harm the president in trying to run for re-election next year? and what do you think -- do you think hunter biden needs to come ou

his daughter, ivanka and son-in-law, jared kushner.be the poster children for questionable family business. in 2017 during trump's first year is president china granted more than 30 trademarks to companies linked to his daughter, ivanka, who was serving as adviser to the president, raising concerns about conflicts of interest in the white house. only six months after trump left the oval office in 2021, his son-in-law and former senior adviser to the president, jared kushner, secured a two billion dollar investment from a fund lydon from the saudi crown prince, despite objections from the funds advisers. joining me now, congressman robert garcia member of the homeland security committee in the house oversight committee and president of the democratic freshman class. also joining, kate kelly. investigative money influence and policy reporter at the new york times. thank you both, very much, for coming to the saturday show. congressman garcia, what concerns you most about jared kushner's two billion dollar investment from saudi arabia? >>

he also killed a separate inquiry into the business dealings of jared kushner with the saudis.ause they don't care about actual corruption. they only care about hurting joe biden politically ahead of the next election because as simon rosenberg pointed out on this program last night, they clearly don't think they can beat him without making him as dirty as trump. but here is the problem, they're not starting from scratch with some unknown politician. they're starting with joe biden, joey from scranton who likes ice cream, corvettes, ray bans and his family. biden has been around for decades. his brand ain't new. that's precisely why barack obama picked him as his vice president. the 29-year-old who was sworn in as a senator in a hospital next to his two young sons after their mother and sister were killed in a tragic car accident. a major, major news story at the time. he is the guy who chaired the senate judiciary committee confirmation hearing of clarence thomas in the '90s. the guy who pressured republicans back in 1993 to help pass an assault weapons ban. he's the guy who b

they went ahead against the unanimous advice of their own experts and invested with jared kushner. bad is when you look back at the things that kushner did while he was inside the white house, things that saudi arabia and mbs and particular seem to really, really appreciate. for really early on and the administration, march to 17, kushner helped arrange a white house visit for mbs that treated the crown prince if he was the head of state, while before he actually was. he was a significant breach of diplomatic protocol, and it wasn't even protium the and turn struggle about who would be saudi arabia's next leader. than in may of that year, trump made the unprecedented decision to make saudi arabia the set of his first foreign trip as president. remember this video? they are all worried late touching that strange glowing oral. in his memory, kushner claims that trip was his idea and that he had to fight secretary of state rex tillerson over it, which we know, in retrospect made sense. that's a much, kushner helped negotiate a 110 billion dollar weapons deal to saudi arabia. then in oc

they went ahead against the unanimous advice of a panel of their own experts and invested with jared kushner. so that is all shady on its own. where it gets really bad is where you look back on things kushner did while inside the white house, things that saudi arabia and mbs in particular seemed to really, really appreciate. very early on in trump's administration in march of 2017, kushner arranged a white house visit for mbs that treated the crown prince as if he was a head of state well before he actually was. it was a significant breach of diplomatic protocol and an even bigger deal given the internal struggle about who would be saudi arabia's next leader. and trump made the unprecedented decision to make saudi arabia the site of his first trip as a foreign president. the egyptian president and the saudi king and donald trump all weirdly touching that strange, glowing orb? in his memoir kushner claims that trip was his idea and that he had to fight secretary of state rex tillerson over it, which makes sense. that same month kushner helped negotiate a $110 million weapons sale to saudi ara

but jared kushner refuses to comply. he is not answering and the if the democrats request, and chairman comer has said he agrees with us that kushner crossed the line, crossed a line of ethics. and if that's true, then he should go ahead and render a subpoena so kushner will comply with our requests, so we can get to the bottom of this massive conflict of interest, likely foreign emoluments clause violation, and crime against the public interest. our foreign policy has been, you know, irrevocably damaged by what jared kushner did with saudi arabia. and the other gulf monarchies. we want to get to the bottom of it. our foreign policy has been, you know, irrevocably damaged by what jared kushner did with saudi arabia. and the other gulf monarchies. we want to get to the bottom of it. >> congressman jamie raskin, always a pleasure to see you. it's great to see you doing well, sir. thank you so much for coming back on the program, and we hope to see you again soon. >> thanks for having me. >> always a pleasure. coming up, new

jared kushner went and got $2 billion from the 70's.ald trump after they killed khashoggi -- host: jodi in arizona on our support line, go ahead. caller: hi, pedro. i'm still laughing at this woman that says biden is honest. i definitely agree with an inquiry for the impeachment. the inquiry will give us -- the republicans the ability to get all the records and show the ties that are there. if they are not, great. we need to listen to it. the people that think jared kershner got $2 billion from the 70's, jared kershner isn't international investor. he has over 20 employees. he is an international investor before he met ivanka. host: back to the inquiry, you said it needed looking into. the republicans produce what they call evidence of wrongdoing so why not base something off of that? caller: they've got plenty of evidence, way more than pelosi ever had on trump. they just want more evidence. host: if they had plenty of evidence, why not just impeach him? caller: i'm not opposed to that. but the man in jail today, biden. i'm not opposed

jared kushner could of got that money trump has stolen from mar-a-lago because that is a lot of money to get, $2 billion per year -- $2 billion. guest: you're mistaken. the vice president at the time was given the authority over ukraine are the president of the united states. the vice president had authority to distribute $1 billion of u.s. aid to ukraine, but did not fire the individual. if you do not fire the individual, i would not give you $1 billion. he did not fire him directly but he calls that prosecutor to be fired. the same prosecutor looking at the company in which his son was on the board of directors. it all ties back to the form we see from the fbi, they came out in 2020, which they held we did not know about it until recently, where a highly thought of internal source for informant for the fbi, had a conversation with the ceo and that ceo said he bribed hunter biden and the president of the united states to do with the vice president did so i believe when you have that, you need to look into that. because if it is true, it is high crimes and misdemeanors. it is rubbery

and in fact, i want to talk about jared kushner, right over here. we know jared kushner, donald trump's son-in-law, given enormous power in the white house. when jared joined the white house, he was so unfit and unqualified and was so many conflicts of interests, he couldn't even get a security clearance. his father-in-law, donald trump had to intervene overriding national security officials. and just months after jared left the white house, the saudi royal family give him $2 billion with a b into the kushner hedge fund and pocketing additional $25 million a year in fees. he was put at the head of middle east policy in the white house. we know he personally intervened to give the saudis a $110 billion arms deal that was opposed by actually folks all across the government. he supported the saudis for the brutal war in yemen even after they murdered a journalist who was an american resident. and saudi crown prince bragged that kushner was in his pocket. even trump's first secretary of state complained it was inappropriate. jared delivered for the saud

jared kushner created the day after the trump administration ended. assuming there were no other evidence, would it be fair to attribute that $2 billion that jared kushner pocketed with the $25 million management fee every year that jared kushner, would it be fair to attribute all of that to donald trump because it's his son-in-law? >> no, not without any evidence showing the president knew it. >> yeah. >> or approved it. >> the principal of american pal people are responsible for their own conduct and not the conduct of their adult children. is that right? >> that's correct. >> chair recognizes the chairman of the house judiciary committee mr. jordan. >> it wasn't just a speech. he leveraged $1 billion of american tax money and did so at a time when our government was supportive of the prosecutor. here is what our government said. assistant secretary of state we have been impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda of your government written to the -- it supports your fight corruption. the interagency policy committee said this on

there are legitimate russians why jared kushner got $2 billion by a hedge fund.y, he had no experience to run a hedge fund either. so, it is very comparable, but they're not interested in finding out why a foreign government would send donald trump's son-in-law $2 billion. no, because it's a donald trump. that's why they're not interested. that's why they have no credibility, joy. no credibility on the subject, otherwise jared kushner would be in front of me. me asking, hey, jared, people don't send $2 billion to people. you must've done something for them or promised them something. >> yeah. i will also note, during the hearing, at one four, democratic number said, raise your hand if there's a today -- adjudicated commonality for both hunter biden and donald trump. would you support both of them being held accountable, all the democrats will raise their hand. so, it's a sham. do for the government but how about a republic and? august been, thank you very much. coming up, the second republican debate was chock- full of cringe-worthy comments. >>> i want to see yo

but even chairman comer has conceded that jared kushner crossed an ethical line.l we are saying is, look, jared kushner was actually working in the white house. he was in the administration. hunter biden was never in the biden -- >> i get that. i'm just wondering why you didn't do this earlier? i'm just wondering when you were in charge in 21 and 22, why you didn't do more on this front? >> well, you know, i think we've been doing everything we can to try to catch up with what we know. and what we are trying to find out is exactly what did saudi arabia get out of this arrangement, and what is the nature of all the money that's been pouring in? now, we know that they have covered up the assassination of jamal khashoggi, the paid assassins who were set by, you know, the crown prince. we know they were aligned with saudi arabia in the yemen war, and they went their first too. that was the first foreign trip that trump took. and we were talking about all of that. but, look, we're gonna do a complete report on foreign government involvements that were pocketed by donal

everyone who walks down the hall to meet the president will walk by jared kushner's office. he has become trump's most loyal troubleshooter. the president trusts him and gives him some of his most important policy initiatives to try to drive through. >> jimmy: look at that note. "to jared, great job on mexico, thanks, dad." [ laughter ] it's the kind of note you get when you write a book report about mexico and the teacher gives you a b-plus. jared has a bunch of framed notes from trump on the wall of his office. "jared, great job, thanks, donald trump." "to jared, great job, donald trump." this is a map of israel trump signed and wrote, "nice." and then this was a weird one. this i thought was a little strange. "your wife is hot." [ laughter ] we'll wait and see what happens next. until then, it's thursday night which means it's time to bleep and blur the big tv moments of the week whether they need it or not. it is "this week in unnecessary censorship." [ cheers and applause ] >> the american people are my teammates. and if there's one thing i will not permit, it is someone

, and hunter biden who was outside the white house. >> one is much worse and it is jared kushner not being investigated by anybody. >> yes, the son-in-law also rises. but i want to go back to what mary said, which i think is really important, which is really the theme of what we're talking about, which is there is this echo chamber between what is happening on the dark web in this fact-free conspiracy -- >> it is not that dark. you can find it -- >> exactly. it is ebbing upward and it is ebbing on to the committee. you have these congressmen, call me old-fashioned, but you need to actually have a little bit of evidence to make a charge against someone and they seem to not have that at all. but the danger is is that it is colored by this aura of violence, that they are aiding and abetting these people in the dark web who are violent. we have seen an increase in domestic violence, there is a lot of research about showing the connection between the two. that's really dangerous for the republic and to your point about it is hard to respond to that, hard to respond to things that are fact

i want to talk about jared kushner who is right over here, we know jared kushner was donald trump's son in law, given enormous power in the white house. when he joined the white house he was so unfit and unqualified in some any conflicts of interest he couldn't even get a security clearance. 's father-in-law donald trump had to intervene overriding national security officials. we also know that just months after jared left the white house the saudi royal family gave him $2 billion into the kushner hedge fund. right now jared is pocketing additional $25 million a year in fees. this is a man who was put at the head of middle east policy in the white house, we know he personally intervened to give the saudi's a $110 billion arms deal that was opposed by folks all across the government. he supported the saudis with their brutal war in yemen even after they murdered jamal khashoggi, a journalist and american resident. the saudi crown prince told others that kushner was in his pocket. the secretary of state complained this was an appropriate. jerry delivered for the saudis over and over again

administration you had a really close relationship with the president's senior adviser and son-in-law jared kushnerafter he left saudi fund made $2 billion investment in jared's fund he was launching and managing. do you think it sends the wrong message even if there wasn't a tit-for-tat i will give you this and you get that? >> we look to opportunities and investment. we have a lot of investment around the globe with other people and connectivity. >> bret: if trump becomes president again, you'll leave the 2 billion with jared kushner? >> it's a commitment that pif. and when pif have investment with investor around the globe keep it. >> bret: would it affect your decisions with a new trump administration with that sitting there? >> >> saudi arabia is so big. i'm quite sure mostly any person around the world directly or indirectly have something to do with saudi arabia. if that can effect president trump decision, if he become the president that means it's going to effect every president in the every president in the world decision. have some sort of interest. >> bret: well, there you go. the other

why did the saudi government give jared keusher in $2 billion just months after he left the trump white house? kushner,-who overawe middle east policy for his father-in-law was a serious conflict of interest crimes. let's review. first, jared keusher in conned his way to a cushy white house job with no clear job description or experience. then he took it upon himself to prioritize pushing out the u.s. secretary of state so he could cozy up to the saudi government. now once he was close enough to the saudis we have records of $110 billion arms deal between the u.s. and saudi arabia that was inflated at the direction of jared kushner. the mere months after he exits the white house, what happens? the crown prince of saudi arabia overrules his own investment advisors and sends $2 billion to kushner's companies' bank account. in the exact words of republican chris christie. who i'll quote, the grip from this family is breathtaking. mr. garcia: jared and identify advantaga -- ivanka walk out of the white house and months later get $2 billion from the saudis. some have said the kushner family has engaged in

imagine if this is jared kushner . >> mr. smith spoke about $20 million for hunter biden, that he received, put in the names of different family members. i think the washington post debunked that this weekend, saying it was $8 million or $9 million, but let's say it was $20 million, 1% of the $2 billion that was brought back by jared kushner from saudi arabia to accompany jared kushner created a day after the donald trump administration ended. if there were no other evidence, would it be fair to attribute that to million dollars that jared kushner pocketed with the $25 million management fee every year, would it be fair to attribute all of that to donald trump because it is his son-in-law? >> not without any evidence. >> because the principle of american law is people are responsible for their own conduct and not the conduct of their adult children, is that right? >> that is correct. >> i yield back. >> the chair recognizes mr. jordan from ohio. >> mr. gerhardt, it was in a speech, he leveraged $1 billion of american tax mone

hunter biden was a legitimate business guide just like jared kushner. no, biden never took money from china because that's what joe biden said. no money ever changed hands while joe biden was vice president. and i actually believe that. joe knew that -- joe knew nothing about his sons dealings and joe never met with or smoke with any of the foreign nationals who had wired the family money. all of those things have been proven wrong because of the republican majority and our investigation. in addition, what else we found, we found 20 shell companies. let me make sure everyone understands, it's not a company that manufactures shell. the bidens have 20 of these. 20 of these. when you talk to the president, you have what exactly do these companies do? what good or service to these companies provide, and the answer is, nothing. they are not legitimate companies. we found, as the chair said, one hundred 70 major bank violations from six major banks, and they allege that the bidens were, among other things, money laundering, and receiving suspicious wires from

sans laptop with russian disinformation, hunter biden was legitimate business guide just like jared kushner. no biden ever took money from china because that's what joe biden said. no money ever changed hands while joe biden was vice president. i actually believed that. joe and nothing but his sono dealings, and joe never met with her spoke with any of the foreign nationals who had wired the family money. all of those things have been proven wrong because of the republican majority and our investigation. now, in addition what else we found come we found 20 shell company special company just let me make sure every you und scope is not a country that manufactures shills. a shell company is a fake company. the biden's at 20 of these. 20 of these these and would you talk to the president you can ask what exactly do these companies do? what good or service to these copies provide? the answer is nothing. they are not legitimate companies. we found is just a phonic said, -- chair stefanik have bank violations in six major banks and they allege that the biden's were among other things money-launder

washington post" revealed about the pressure campaign his paper was under from trump and his son-in-law jared kushnershed to get him fired over the coverage of the russia election interference investigation. what that tells us about how far trump would be willing to go next time around. having triplets is... -amazing -expensive. so, we switched to the bargain detergent, but we ended up using three times as much and the clothes still weren't as clean as with tide. so we're back with tide, and the clothes are clean again. do 3x the laundry and get a tide clean. it's got ♪o be tide. tourists tourists that turn into scientists. tourists photographing thousands of miles of remote coral reefs. that can be analyzed by ai in real time. ♪ so researchers can identify which areas are at risk. and help life underwater flourish. ♪ >>> the conversation we had -- he had with my son, the attorney general of the state of delaware, a decorated major in the u.s. army, was a guy who spent a year in iraq, about serving in a war overseas, about the courage and battle against the same cancer that took john and my son. two

jared kushner, aide, donald trump's son-in-law was doing favors.his wasbr enormous scandal that this committee should investigate. chris christie put it better, the drift is breath taking. this is what our committee chairman said about the kushners. i'm just quoting our chairman. i have been vocal that i think what kushner did crossed the line of ethics. now, mr. chairman, i completely agree that the kushners crossed the line of ethics and i want to know what we are going to do about it. if we are not too busy next week during maga shutdown we can have a hearing with jared kushner which is corrupt arms deal around investment firm and the chairman can also be involved and he also thinks there's quproblems. we do know today that we are not here because of any wrongdoing of president biden but donald trump's campaign and most extreme allies including members of the committee are retaliating. in fact, some members have been trying to impeach the president since day one. now, this is a tweet here. i'm going to read it. two years ago i introduced article

jared kushner is like anna delvey if someone had actually sent her that wire transfer. xt 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. i

so republicans looking at hunter biden instead of -- instead of jared kushner, americans don't understand how that could be, and they also are increasingly alarmed about the fact that the republicans in control of the house only seem to have three objectives. one is to impeach joe biden. number two is to shut down, and is to impeach or get rid of kevin mccarthy, actually and the third is to shut down government and the subset of that is to defund the doj and the fbi for trying to hold donald trump accountable. so the american people are watching that and they also appreciate the fact that you've had a distinguished career as a prosecutor and a doj official as well as 24 years on the bench. you served on the second highest court of the land as a judge for 24 years, the d.c. circuit court of appeals and we appreciate your service. you were, for serve years the lead -- you were the -- you managed that entire office. we thank you for that. you also served on the judicial counsel for a number of years. so you are steeped in the rule of law. you are a judge extraordinaire, and as a judge, you n

jared kushner was the leading negotiator and leading voice in the white house on middle eastern affairsfather in law, donald trump. so to leave the white house, and i will add, -- he began receiving payments months, two months after he left the white house. it is ballooned to over two billion dollars from the saudi government in a other middle east governments. that is insane. we have got to make sure that we investigate this in a way that is appropriate, and it is comical that they try to link the presidents family, who never worked for the government, who are not working for the white house, he's a private citizen, there's zero evidence since of link. they're unwilling to investigate the kushner's who have profited in the billions of dollars from their work in the white house. we are prepared. we are prepared to keep asking to subpoena these documents. we are pushing on chairman comer, in fact, he actually said to the media that he thought it crossed an ethical line. great, if it crossed an ethnic align that it's time to bring forward the kushner's in our committee. i want to subpoena
