jared kushner with meeting over russian banker after the russian ambassador met with michael flynn and here. how would you characterize this email? >> it is same sort of thing what is the fbi doing with all the back channel in connection with an ongoing investigation by they're not supposed to do pursuant to fbi policy by communicating directly without attribution, providing source material and, to "the new york times" and others. again that shouldn't be done but that is not going to be the focus of the inquiry. the question will be whether in those communication as are otherwise the fbi was disclosing as a result of its investigation classified material to news sources. if that happens, that's a problem. elizabeth: okay. now there is more. there's a really curious email on april 3rd, 2017. again an official in the fbi washington field office much, his name is redacted email's peter strzok a lining to guardian article michael flynn new evidence, spy chiefs have concern about the russian ties. flynn's contact with russia and flynn's quote obsession with iran. here is the thing that the

after story on the russia investigation, michael schmidt was the first to report president trump overruled national authority officials in order to give jared kushner york time's michael schmidt has been a fearsome scoop machine during the trump area. now with this new book, he's breaking even more news. among the book's many revelations is the fact that no element of the u.s. government, including the mueller investigation, including the fbi, has ever examined president trump's ties to russia, including his financial ties. it is not that anybody looked into that and found out all was fine and that's why we never heard anything about it. literally nobody has ever looked, not the fbi, not mueller, not the intelligence committees, no one. joining us now for the interview is washington correspondent for "the new york times," the aforementioned michael schmidt. congratulations on this. thanks for being here tonight for the first interview. >> thanks for having me. >> so i have read enough of this stuff that i know that you are thinking now nobody is going to read the book because rachel has read so much of it, but i want to zoom in on what feels to me

among the people -- and i think michael is right, he doesn't care jared kushner in his little high chair doesn't care, nah, nah, nah, new york is going to suffer, i don't care trump doesn't care about his own supporters here he is at another maskless rally in wisconsin potentially getting people sick. here it is >> officially this is called a protest. you know that. we no longer call it rallies we don't use the term "rally," okay rachel knows we don't call them rallies anymore because, you know, you're not allowed to have a political rally for more than 10 people we call them friendly protests so these are protests, so it's totally allowed. this is a protest. remember, when they walk out -- when you walk outside, what do you consider this? did you enjoy the rally? no, i really -- this is a protest. >> i mean, his shuckie green act aside, jonathan, they're doing that because, number one, they think the people protesting against police killing black people are getting a break they're not getting. but the people that show up there, there's plenty of scientific evidence that they're not supe

michael schmidt also reports in this new book the back story of how white house officials tried to stop juared kushner and the president's daughter from getting top levels security clearances because of some warning that turned up into the investigation of whether or not they should be qualified for that. john kelly was briefed on which led to a strong recommendation that jared kushner not receiving a top level clearance. never the less, the president ov overruled that objection and said that kushner should get one as well as ivanka. mcga memoir r the memo was only one paragraph, it says this, the president of the united states has ordered that jared kushner and ivanka trump be allowed to access national security information up to the top secret level. jared kushner and ivanka trump shall be granted top secret security clearances. you got the white house councils and the chief of staff having been briefed on highly compartmented classified information that led officials to say no, these people can't have high level security. they made it clear to the president, the president said, i don't care. they d

house correspondent michael crowley has been covering this story for "the new york times" and joins us now thank you, first of all, for being on the show. secondly, when jared kushnerg of the end of arab israeli conflict, based on your reporting, is he correct >> it is more complicated than that you know, the white house is really trying to sell this as something much bigger than it is this is not meaningless. it is significant for israel to be normalizing relations with the gulf arab states, but to some degree, to a large degree, this is a process that has been in the works for years so we're really kind of making official and making public a process that has long been under way. and i think the white house tried to solve what has been the core source of a lot of the conflict in the middle east, which is the israeli palestinian issue. and their peace plan to try to address that engineered by jared kushner was sort of dead on arrival. and now what feels like is happening is the white house is sort of trying to make it seem as though this is, you know, middle east peace, they actually accomplished it, when the thing that they really wanted to do that was harder and
