i'm anne-marie green. good to be with you. >>> jared kushner, president trump's son-in-law is a key person in the russian investigation. investigators are looking into meetings kusher had in december with a russian banker and someone trains in russian intelligence. this does not mean kushner is suspected of a crime. this is according to the "washington post." but kushner is the only current white house official known to be considered a key person in the probe and investigators are looking into possible financial crimes. kushner's lawyer says he is willing to cooperate with federal investigators an he has previously volunteered to tell congress what he knows. >>> ahead on "cbs this morning," jeff pegues will have the latest on the fbi investigation from fbi headquarters in washington. >>> president trump is in sicily this morning for a meeting of the g7 industrialized nations. mr. trump met nato leaders yesterday in brussels. in aggressive and undiplomatic tones he scolded them for not meeting financial obl

anne-marie: i have not reconsidered. claim was that work has to change as much as people have to change. i think sheryl sandberg agrees with that. i don't think there was nearly as much of a gap as people imagined. but what i do believe very strongly now that i wrote in my business," ished that we don't have to think about this as a women's issue but rather a care issue. this is for all people caring for children, parents, spouses, siblings. our society makes it very hard to combine earning an income and caring for others. if we want to exploit the talents of our society harness , the growth and potential of our citizens, nowledge that most workers now have caregiving responsibilities, and not just women. they have to make room for the responsibilities and support them. emily: that was anne-marie slaughter, president and ceo of new america. famous harvard dropout, mark zuckerberg returns to the university to deliver the thursday commencement speech. he told graduates they need to help others find purpose in a world where

however, mary anne, she made it about trump and not the issues. he has got it backwards. >> biden was up at the 100 club dinner in new hampshire last night and gave a 50 minute speech talking about all this. in many respects it was joe biden in long speeches package deal. but he clearly, when you listen to him, joe biden sounded more like the candidate he thought he would have been and might possibly be again even though he denies that. but i do think trump did have the ability to connect with a lot of blue collar, lower income workers who have been shut out by the advances in economies in terms of automation and other things. trump was very good about that and i think biden in many ways is showing his democrats he wants to be the same person. >> bill: he is not running, he said again. the point is that he believes democrats need to find their way again. katie, what did you hear in this speech from the former vice president? >> first i heard him blame the loss on misogyny. she did not do that because the country is sexist. >> bill: his thought was

mary anne, why isn't that enough of an assurance? or is it to you?ontinue to say the president is derailing the russian investigation. it sounds like it's on track. >> the fact is donald trump fired james comey, the f.b.i. director, who was investigating his ties and the ties of his campaign into russia and donald trump said he fired james comey because he was investigating his ties and his campaign's ties. >> shannon: he said he was -- >> he and his spokesperson indicated that's why they fired -- he fired james comey. >> shannon: no, they didn't at all. they didn't make that link. they're pointing to a long history of things, the memo from the deputy attorney general but katie, to me it sounds like publicly they've denied a specific link between those two things. the president was upset about the russia investigation and this is it's bogus but not the reason he fired him. >> he knew because of the russia investigation the firing of james comey would cause a firestorm and he calculated that into the firing and did it anyway. it doesn't mean he fired

anne-marie? >> hena daniels here in new york. thank you so much, hena. >>> well, until his firing, tuesday's story line surrounding comey centered around the investigation of hillary clinton's primary e-mail server. he said clinton's closest aide huma abedin sent dozens of classified e-mail to her husband, anthony weiner. she said she passed only a small number for the purple of printing off documents and only two contained classified information. cbs chief correspondent john dickerson said the firing will increase calls for an investigation into the trump campaign, russia, and the election. >> this is likely to ratchet up even higher the investigation into russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. it was already high enough this week after parties paired off over why it took so long for the president to fire former national security adviser michael flynn. now democrats will renew their calls for a special prosecutor, and they've already been joined by republican john mk cain. the argument is that only someone free to inves
