kushner was pushing that. we have to acknowledge jared kushner on 99 issues, liberals and progressives disagree with him. but on prison reform, he's opinion an effective advocate, and we need to keep pushing. this is a particular case that was outrageous. but there ather outrageous cases that americans knew people were going to die in prison for first-time nonviolent drug offenses, most americans would do what the president did. >> we're hearing more pardons in the not too distant future. van jones, thank you very much. >>> still ahead, two high profile republicans now openly, publicly breaking with the president and defending the fbi. you'll hear what they're saying and why. that's next. ed to geico and got more. more? they've been saving folks money for over 75 years. a company you can trust. geico even helped us with homeowners insurance. more sounds great. gotta love more... right, honey? yeah! geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. i'm a small business, but i have... big dreams... and big plans

jared kushner's push for peace. tell us more about kushner selling his plan while at the same time taking a swipe at palestinian leadership. >> jared kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser gave an interview to the israeli newspaper. that is quite surprising. he doesn't interview very often and second, how he chose to do so or who he chose to interview with for the palestinian people and they haven't met in recent months with the leadership with the trump administration. kushner laid out the framework or the basis of the peace plan the trump administration is working on. he didn't reveal details, but tried to reach out to the palestinian people and said even if the leadership won't, they should consider the peaz proposal & said both sides will be better off in the long run for doing so, but he points out this is not a final plan, but a basis for negotiations between the two sides. as i mentioned, they froze with the trump administration after trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel and now

but also to his son-in-law, jared kushner.he first to actually hear kardashian west's plea. my next guest reports that kushner now has apparently pardon fever. "vanity fair's" gabriel sherman, we call him gabe around these parts, is with me. >> this seem to be not just an isolated case but the beginning of a larger strategy by jared kushner and he hopes his father-in-law to use the pardons to really change the narrative. what i find so striking is that this is at odds with the campaign promises that the president ran on, which was to be tough on crime and we should point out the president has talked about, you know, using the death penalty on drug dealers. so it's, you know, these two things are sort of really at odds with each other, but clearly it's sort of the jared more compassionate view seems to be getting some traction. >> some have jokingly dubbed kushner the secretary of everything. these are just a few of the things that have been assigned to him so far in this white house. this is part of his portfolio. white house

the kushner company just acquired that property in september. so, there are still new deals being made where he is generating income from those deals. >> charles kushner said in that real deal interview the initial struggle to try to woo the chinese leaders at 666 fifth avenue are over and plowing ahead like a bulldozer. can anyone beure that jared's parents are not benefitting from his proximity to the president? >> well, that's a difficult question. and certainly, there are limitations what we can glean from the office of government ethics. if you even look at the range of income that jared and ivanka are reporting with their assets there's a $500 million span in the range just because the office of government ethics does not require precise amounts of income to be reported. so, i think that is very difficult to determine because kushner companies is a private business. so, what we can clean from public documents is unfortunately, very limited. >> amy brittain, thank you for bringing what you know. >>> the attorney general and 13, using the pa

this is a close friend of jared kushner.re are nice beaches there, it's not an obvious place for an american to go on vacation and to be in text communication with george nader, a very important figure in setting up this apparently back channel. >> i'll be skeptical now. why we have meetings that have occurred beginning in '16 well before the nomination of donald trump when he was just a candidate, there were meetings, of course, at the mayflower hotel here in washington, the famous one in june at the trump tower. there were meetings the rnc convention, republican convention with kislyak from moscow and all these meetings. the meetings in the senate office of jeff sessions. all of these meetings in public daylight. and then they have to meet in the seychelles with tersetory partners representing each other. why would they be so scared to meet over there if they're walking around in daylight in the united states? >> that's a good question. we know that the say shells is a place where this crown brins of abu dhabi liked to do

the idea that jared kushner can bring peace to the middle east. he doesn't just lack experience, have zero diplomacy experience, he is a property developer, but he is a walking conflict of interest. this is a guy who, you know, is close family friends with the netanyahus. has been since he was a child. benjamin netanyahu slept in his bed when he was a kid. jared went to the basement. best friends with netanyahu. he and his father have massive investments in israel and from israelis in their own businesses back here in the united states. and his family foundation, the kushner foundation, ali, has given tens of thousands of llars to settlements in the west bank, which are considered illegal under international law, and which all administrations have called an obstacle to peace. how can you be a peace broker when both feet are plant eed firmly on one side of the conflict? >> where he does have experience is where he decided to be best friends with salman of saudi arabia, which ended up in qatar being ostracized and embargoed, really, by its middle ea

can jared kushner put forward a genuine peace plan without having spoken to the palestinians over the plan, steve, from your analysis likely to be dead on arrival if it does not include the palestinians upfront? >> you and i have been at this peace game watching business for a long time. >> sadly, yes. >> for years and years. i don't see a formula where jared kushner can roll out a play, that may have support behind the scenes from saudis and others without talking to the palestinians. to make them victims yet again of something imposed upon them i think is a recipe for failure, more violence and problems in the region. what we're seeing because of the decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem in part is that a significant part of the arab world no longer looks at the united states as a fair and objective broker in this process, it looks at it as one sided. and that's why the palestinians won't meet with our negotiators but at the same time it makes it impossible for the u.s. to impose a deal. >> valid points, steve. steve, an degrdrea, thank you b very much. president trump beli

this one involves a hedge fund manager and close friend of jared kushners. in january of last year he was part of the meeting with the crown prince of abu dhabi. a few weeks earlier he'd been in a secret meeting with kushner and the prips at a new york hotel. that other meeting we reported on befores with organized in part by a guy named george nader. he's a lebanese businessman with close ties to the emirates. that included prince, the black water founder and the russian official. they're look at whether that meet, meeting two was an attempt to set a back channel with the kremlin. julie aimsly is here along with national security for the washington post. and, matt, i'll get to you in a second. julie, let me start with you and explain why this matters. why does it matter that he is now being looked at so closely on this? >> so it matters because of his connection to the united emirates. and it's just been emerging that he's not only interested in russian influence but united arab imrates as well which is thought to be lesser but still significant. he's close

jared kushner inside the white house says this was an important issue.o prison. you can't look at a 63-year-old grandmother who will die in prison, never get parole ever because of a nonviolent drug offense a decade ago. it all came together you got to give credit to these young female attorneys, and these young video activists and you got to give credit to jared kushner. but kim kardashian walked in that white house, very few celebrities and athletes would do that. and she came out with a victory. you got to give her credit. >> why didn't president obama do it? >> president obama did more pardons and more come mutations than anybody. he had a huge operation to try to get that figured out. on this particular case i felt, a lot of people felt they were too cautious because she had negative associations earlier. they said we just don't feel comfortable. so many groups had her at the number one position on their list for come tagss under obama. i'm glad it got done under trump. i'm very very proud you can still eke out a chicken mcnugget even in the trump e

kushner's business deals have reportedly come under federal scrutiny.aula reed is the a the white house. paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. both jared and ivanka had to step aside from their family businesses to come work here at the white house, but these new financial disclosures reveal they both continue to profit from their ties to family businesses. in fact, ivanka received more than $2 million in salary and severance after leaving the trump organization. >> because of the opportunities i've been afforded my whole life, i felt an obligation to seize this moment and join the administration. >> reporter: ivanka trump and jared kushner have both stressed how they put their personal business interests aside to join president trump at the white house. but this new disclosure shows both have continued to profit from their family's business ties since joining the trump administration. ivanka made almost $9 million from her stake in the trump international hotel in washington and her personal clothing brand, which she is divested from. meanwhi

jared, he made more than $5 million from a kushner company property quail ridge. an apartment complex paid for in large part using israeli financing firms. in fact, bloomberg reports the kushner company line of credit at israeli banks increased five fold in the last year. ivanka trumped raked in 4 million bucks in her stake in the trump hotel in d.c. this comes as a federal judge was highly critical of president trump's financial interests in that hotel. accord together washington post justice department lawyers say the president, he's not break the law because he's not trading favors in benefit. david is a political reporter and a beast when it comes to all things trump and money for the washington post. first with the hotel. even if the trumpven if the judge rules against the president, which he already has in another matter, what's actually going to happen here? because president trump, jared ivanka, they could have a couple uncomfortable news days, but that's a whole lot of dough. >> well, this lawsuit you're talking about is a lawsuit from the d.c. and maryla

and there is a split between jared kushner and john kelly. jared kushner arranged the meeting with kim kardashian to meet with president trump. but john kelly does not think alice johnson is worthy of a presidential pardon. so that is a debate going on inside the white house. larger what we're looking at is not an unusual pattern of a president pardoning people. all presidents do that. but what's unusual here is that the president has pardoned several people just 17 months in office. i'm told that has caused friends and allies of the president to lobby him on behalf of people they believe deserve forgiveness here, john. >> different, i guess is what way to put it. thank you. with me here in the studio to share their insights, maggie haberman, phil mattingly, and eliana johnson. the president is very different. there are a lot of systems in washington that need to be changed. is this one of them? what is the president's impulse here? is it i have this power, i can't get congress to do anything, is that what it is? >> i think that's a big aspec

kushner said that if president abbas is not willing to negotiate, he's going to proceed with the deal. can you explain how the white house is hoping to achieve any progress in the middle east peace talks if the principal party is not taking part in it? sec. sanders: we're going to continue meeting with the other partners in the region. and again, we're going to continue pushing forward in the peace process. we had productive meetings over the last week, and we're going to continue those conversations. i'll take one last question. >> thanks, sarah. to follow up on the issue of immigration judges, why is the president so opposed to an increase in the number of immigration judges when it would expedite the asylum process and expedite deportation? sec. sanders: we're not opposed to the speeding up the process. what the president would like to see, once again, is that we stop the problem at the very beginning. he'd like to see us secure the border and people work through the system, through the ports of entry, so that we're not dealing with things on the back end. we'd like to stop the pro

kushner offered little in enticing abbas.ite house offered nothing about a sovereign state or sovereign refuge. if you want a peace process, you come to us. >> and jared kushner can release a plan, but it doesn't mean that plan moves anywhere, goes anywhere, and i think that's precisely what their plan is right now. it never seemed to me that this white house was ever going to push for any sort of substantive negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians. i think they're fine to make they're symbolic moves aligning themselves with israel. i think they think it's a good base issue and that's how it's going to be, and that's going to be their moves for palestinian policy. >> i think he thought it would be pretty easy. talking points haven't changed in the past 25 years. i took that as you have to move. the palestinians have to give something up if they want a process that works. >>> we'll continue to track that process as well. hope to see you back here this time tomorrow. have a great afternoon. wolf starts right now.

why jared kushner should be

part in a -- the political climate there only gets more tense with the president's son-in-law jared kushnerady to unveil his peace plan. >> yeah, call it a tale of two princes. yard kushner with a similar -- he normally askewhner and he has managed to stumble and offend the palestinian leadership. he said their president was not going to be pursuing peace and he blamed abbas for a lot of the problems they are having in the palestinian territories including the gaza strip. we can hope that prince williams has a little more luck. >>> and lifting the last band on women drivers. nine months after the saidy ruler announced women would be granted the right to drive they have taken theheel for the first time. >> a victory lap for women's ri the first time ending a decade's old ban. until now, women relied on drivers or male relatives to get to work and school. risking a fine or arrest for driving themselves. >> it will be easier to get wherever i want and go wherever i want. it will take less of my paycheck. >> the move is part of a massive reform effort. >> women can now start their own businesse

eventually, you get a call from jared kushner, his son-in-law, and adviser.id he was in north dakota. i'm surprised they didn't give me his longitude and latitude. i mean, they told me where the president was and that i would get a call back. now, i thought it might be over. then, i don't know, a half hour later, i get a call from jared kushner in air force one. he's like and -- granted, i'm answering the phone with this bad long island accent of mine. i go, hello, hello? he goes, this is jared kushner. i put on my fake english accent again. oh, hello, jared. this is sean moore. how did they not know this is a scam? it is so obvious. then jared goes, i can get the president now for you, but he is in a meeting, or you know, i can have him call you back. i said, call back. i knew i had to call my friend in new york to record it. he said, one more question. what do you want, you know -- what does the senator want to speak to the president about? i said, oh, you know, the senator had a long conversation with the president about immigration and wanted to get some

kushner referred t theks according to the "new york tims" then referred over to c.i.a.mpeo but the white house andhe c.i.a. are not yet commenting on the story. >>> the agreement. the president and kim signed, did it have a specific time table for denuclearization that's all they talked about, that was supposed to be i it. it shouldn't take long to get the bal rolling. >> scientifically, i've beenng wa and wayning a lot abo a this it takes a long time to scientifically you havait certain periods of time and a lot of things happen but despite that, once you starthe process, it means it's pretty much over. n't use th that's the good news. and w thatl start very soon. i believe th will start very soon. we will do it as fast as it can mechanically and physicallye done >> trump in his usual adversarial style is spending some time, just a little bit, responding to criticism about that meeting with kim jong-un. now, here's one of the tweets from today. quote. funn how the fake news inna coted effort with each othe likes to say i gave so thch to korea because i met -- that's be

there's been quite a bit of diplomacy going on the last few days in the middle east with jared kushner, do you have anything concrete to tell us about any sort of positive movement whatsoever from all of this? >> again, we think that the meetings that took place over the last week with senior advisor jared kushner and special representative jason greenblatt. they met with a number of officials and principals in saudi arabia, jordan, egypt, israel and qatar last week. they discussed the situation in gaza as well as the next stages of the peace effort. we'rengo continue those conversations, and we're committed to the peace effort, and we're going to keep working forward, but those conversations were productive. julie? >> sarah -- [inaudible] -- said today that they are no longer going to be referring people who cross the border with authorization of criminal charges if they are traveling with the children which would return to the obama administration practice and administrations before that, does the president support that approach and if so, does he regret trying to push forward on a z
