i think we're seeing a softer side of melania trump. >> she tweeted, today's visit with his holiness is one i will never forget. i was humbled by the honor, blessings to all. what do you make of her openness about her religion? >> i think that, you know, we saw back in february she spoke at a rally for her husband and gave the lord's prayer. i think we see now why religion is so important to her, but we don't know, for instance, if she goes to mass, we don't know anything about her catholicism. i think she wants to keep it private. this dole she and gibb and a coat valued at $51,000. >> had a lot of people riled up. that's some people's annual salary. and they're saying what is she doing wearing this coat. to that you say what? >> i think that the whole trump brand is about opulence and glamour and i don't think it will have a huge impact. the people that like him don't mind. i think the hand swat and other things on the trip, that video of her kind of swatting away his hand, i don't think that hurts her because i think his supporters don't care, don't believe it was a real hand swat

what will melania trump be doing the whole time? with the president, obviously, but she also has some events on her own and while her office is being sort of tight-lipped about what exactly those events are, i think we can expect to see her doing some of the same things she's already done here stateside, visiting hospitals and sick children, possibly going to schools and visiting students, maybe experiencing some cultural outlets while she's abroad. i don't think she's going to stray too far from what she's already done here. i haven't heard anything. the one time we know that she'll make remarks is at the very end of the trip where she'll speak to u.s. military families based in italy, service members. she is expected to speak towards the end of the trip. but this is a global stage for mrs. trump this time out and things like the head scarf and the protocol issues will come into play because this is a five-city stop and each place has its own rules and its own traditions and things and she's going to have to adapt to those. it's go

you have melania trump in the white, sara netanyahu in yellow, the woman in red based on her head scarf would be arab. the hospitals throughout israel, not only israeli-arabs, but palestinians, whether they get injured on the west bank, in gaza. the best. >> some the best medical care in the world at these hospitals. there are palestinian kids next to israeli kids all being treated by israeli doctors. >> it is so important to say, as some one who visited jerusalem, visited israel, haven't lived there as you did, leland, sometimes the perception israeli-palestinian relations is different than what you experience when you're there on the ground. how valuable it is to be on the ground as a private citizen. also a world leader. president trump making this key trip. the optics of the trip are important. one of the reasons we're showing you this picture before we bring you to the meeting with prime minister netanyahu and president trump, we expect the president to speak in a short while, is all of the package. how do we literally fit together, what is the behavior like, how does that broadcas

trump and first lady melania trump landed in italy yesterday, ahead of the meetings. is the fifth and final stop on this trump first international trip as president. >> meantime, we have learned that jared kushner the president's son-in-law and key white house advisor is under scrutiny in the fbi probe into russian election meddling. investigators are now looking into meetings that kushner held in december with the russian ambassador and banker from moscow. kushner's attorney said his client will share information he knows about this meeting, if he's passed. >> 5:35, in business news this morning, the competition between uber and lyft is intensifying. >> why best buy shares are sky-rocketing. money watch's jill wagner joins us live from the new york torque stock exchange, good morning, jill. >> reporter: good morning, jim, rahel. futures right now pointing to a lower open. markets, though, will open at or near record highs this morning, after six straight days of gains, along its winning streak in months. yesterday the dow rose 70-point, yesterday it jumped 42 to new

so there we see first lady melania trump with sara netanyahu for this visit.to get those live pictures in. if i could go back to you for a second, congress. you work at justice when mueller was the fbi director. give me your sense of what kind of investigation he's going to run and how do you think it's goings to affect what the committees in congress are able to do? >> actually i think it's a positive thing because i think it's going to take away a lot of the extraneous chatter and allow something to be focused in a place where something can get done. bob mueller is a no nonsense guy who will get the facts but he'll move expeditiously. i served on the corporate fraud task force with hum and watched how he got right to the point. so i think as well nobody knows what kind of conclusions he's going to draw and nobody knows exactly what it is that he's going to finally decide is the essence. we have a russia investigation, we have flynn issues, you have questions about comey and the president. they are all discreet issues and it's going to be up to bob mueller to

and there will be a photo opportunity so you will see president trump and melania, and pope francis will be in the middle. and the famous exchange of gifts with all the symbolic value that is carried with it. >> all right, claudia, any moment now, as you have noted, the 20 minutes were usually these meetings. that is the average of how long they pretty much lasted. kristen, to ask you on this front, knowing that we're half way through the nine-day foreign trip, how is he holding up? had a very rigid full packed schedule as we see in many of the travels. he appears to be energetic, and appears to be very much alert and doesn't really show any signs of tiring so far. would you agree? >> oh, i think you're absolutely right about that. i think when he initially touched down in riyadh, there was a little exhaustion that set in. one of his top officials described him as a tired guy. he is adjusting to the time change, remember, francis for the entirety of his time at the white house he has either been at the white house or mar-a-lago, so this is the first time he has been away from one of his
