mr kushner, was it appropriate for you to meet with the russian officials? ome out of today's closed—door session. jared kushner, the president's son—in—law... the person of interest has a name and that name isjared kushner. jared kushner is not used to being centrestage. as one of donald trump's closest advisers, he has been silent at his side, seen but rarely heard. but he has done some talking with russians. first with the russian ambassador sergey kislyak, and then with this man, sergey gorkov. he is the head of a russian bank tied to the kremlin. when asked by the bbc about the subject of that meeting, he said, "ask the white house." the revelations made mr kushner front—page news. his father—in—law did not seem to pleased. his father—in—law did not seem too pleased. jared has actually become much more famous than me. i am a little bit upset about that. now, in a statement before his committee appearance, mr kushner has said that he had four contacts with russian officials but denied any wrongdoing. he said... mr kushner was also part of the meeting with

mr. kushner updated his federal disclosure form to include ms.on a list of foreign contacts he was required to submit to the fbi for security clearance. mr. kushner downplayed the significance of the meeting and admitted to details according to two people who were briefed on the exchange. mr. kushner informed the president that they had met with a russian foreign national, and while he had to report the name, it would not cause a problem for the administration. another official said mr. kushner's assurance too the president was based on the fact that nothing came of the june meeting. did he mislead the president? what do you make of that? >> well, he may well have misled the president. the question is, with watergate, what did the president know and when did he know it? but that's not the only question. what did top white house people and trump administration people and family members know as well? but look, this is a scandal that's consuming the white house, and we have now built a bridge, and that bridge went from the concerning allegation of c

mr. kushner. >> how long was the meeting? >> about 20 minutes. >> about 20 minutes. >> and jared left after five or ten? >> the russian lawyer says neither kushner nor then trump campaign manager paul manafort played much of a role. >> translator: he was the only one i was speaking to. >> amid the late revelations, democrats are fuming that kushner was given security clearance at all. >> anybody else vying for a clearance out of these facts would be denieda that clearance. >> out of the three representatives of donald trump we know were in the room with that russian lawyer, only jared kushner is now an official adviser to the president. and that has put him squarely in the crosshairs of investigators trying to figure out if anyone did anything illegal. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >>> up next, president trump and vice president pence are making calls to shore up support as the senate's health care bill hangs by a thread. we'll discuss, after the break. having moderate to severe plaque psoriasis is not always easy. it's a long

mr. kushner how was your meeting? ushner told investigators he did meet with influential russians four times during campaign and transition. but those meetings he said were brief part of his incoming contacts with people from approximately 15 countries. in fact, he said until recently he did not recall at all a 2016 meeting at trump tower with donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer offering dirt on hillary clinton. kushner said he arrived at the meeting a little late and quickly decided it was a waste of our time. e-mailing an assistant, can you please call me on my cell. need an excuse to get out of meeting. i did not collude with russia. nor do i know of anyone else in the campaign who did so. >> kushner disputed reports that he tried to set up a secret back channel with russia during the transition. but, said he did ask the russian ambassador if there was an existing communications channel is discuss the syrian crisis. the ambassador said that would not be possible, so nothing else occurred. kushner met that same mon

mr. kushner today? >> well, i think he did what was the right thing, go and put this to rest, but it will neff be put to rest. we need people -- house and senate republicans in charge to say enough of this already, enough taxpayer funds that are wasted on this witch-hunt that is a conviction that is looking for evidence. let's talk about hillary clinton and her urainium deals and fact we would have more flexibility with russia after the election which is practice president obama said. liz: mr. kushner to testify before i house intelligence tomorrow. we believe not under oath. not going to -- to your point, president trump tweeting out, so why committees, investigators and our beleaguered ag jeff sessions looking into hillary as crimes and russia relations, what do you think of president trump's tweet. >> one thing you never want to criticize a member of your team. that does not bode well for bolstering his position of influence and power as attorney general with a president putting out those type of twe

mr. kushner's interview with the senate for july 24. he will continue to cooperate and appreciates the opportunity to assist in putting this matter to rest. so, to repeat, that's closed door testimony before the senate intelligence committee next monday. so, brianna, you have a week of testimony coming up on some key people in this russia investigation. >> it's going to be very interesting next week. >> yeah. >> i want to ask you a question. you may not know the answer to this, gloria, but i wonder if you think this may be an indication that robert mueller has already talked to jared kushner. has that been sort of the way we've seen things go? >> well, it's not necessarily that he's talked to him. it's very clear, though, that the committees and mr. mueller are cooperating. they do not want to step on each other in any way, shape or form. it may be an indication that mr. mueller says, go right ahead and talk to him and that could mean that jared kushner is not at the center of his investigation. or, as you point out, that he's already s

mr. kushner against what we know from other witnesses. don't want to opoint on comprehensiveness and completeness. but mr. kushner made a strong, good-faith effort to answer the committee's questions today. >> the chairman said he had no reason to have at this point mr. kushner come back before the committee. do you agree with that? >> i think it's a little early to answer that question. we're looking forward to having a number of other witnesses just to give you an example. the sort of lead story now on the whole question of possible links to russia is the president's son, don junior's admission that he had that meeting at which jared kushner was present and he confirmed that gave and more details. we have to hear from the others in that meeting as to what happened. it's a little early to draw any conclusions about the testimony, but it was good that he came forward with an attitude of answering whatever questions we had for him. >> does it seem credible to you that donald trump jr. would get an e-mail in which he's told russia is backin

mr. kushner is leaving the building now. we'll let him get to the white house and we expect to hear from him and bring you that conversation. if we see mr. kushner again, please, tell me. we'll track that. let's come back to the important health care konkconversation. thinking about changing your job, worried about health care, looking to washington for answers. six months of wait, wait, wait. we're not sure. wait. the question, will they get to it this week? talk about it in politics all the time. phil mattingly laying it out among senators. get to 50 votes to start the debate to reach a compromise? an american watching at home no matter where you live in the country, if you have any health care issue in your family, again, showing you live pictures of jared kushner. forgive me for going back and forth between health care and this. leaving the senate building, hopping in his car. applied effort. we knew not an answer to that question as jared kushner gets in the car. short drive back to the white house. see what happens onc

mr. kushner had all kinds of legal help and all kinds of accounting help.ve to fill these forms out too. you know, and depending on how complicated your financial situation is, i assume his is fairly complicated. but still, he had every -- i assume every accountant, every lawyer at his beck and call. and to not just with of course his financial disclosure, but with his fs-86, the form to fill out to get a security clearance. having to do resubmission after resubmission. it is either remarkably sloppy from a guy who can hire all the help he needs or there's something more nefarious involved here that stuff only gets reported and we've seen this from everybody in the trump administration. stuff only gets reported when the media or someone else finds out about the it and then we get the oh, gosh, yeah, i left it off my form but i'm resubmitting. if you weren't the son-in-law, if you were an officer in the marine corps joining the national security council or cia officer, you'd have been fired long ago for this behavior. >> i want to look ahead to tuesday. i'm

mr. kushner, how was your meeting. kushner told congressional investigators he met with influential russians four times during the campaign an the transition, but those meetings, he said in a public statement, were brief, part of his incoming contacts from people from across approximately 15 countries. in fact, he said, until recently he did not recall at all a 2016 meeting at trump tower with donald trump, jr., and a russian lawyer offering dirt on hillary clinton. kushner said he arrived at the meeting a little late and quickly decided it was a waste of our time, e-mailing an assistant, "can you please call me on my cell. need an excuse to get out of meeting." >> i did not collude with russia. nor do i know of anyone else in the campaign who did so. >> reporter: kushner disputed reports he tried to set up a secret back channel with russia during the transition but said he did ask the russian ambassador if there was an existing communications úhannel at his embassy he could use to discuss the syrian crisis. the ambassa

mr. kushner would have forgotten or not.eportedly, a hundred foreign meetings have been added to kushner's filings with the united states for his security clearance. the false statements liability is significant. and, remember, often when with prosecutors feel that something wrong has happened, but they can't prove the underlying case, they believe mr. kushner was involved perhaps, at the end, if the evidence shows it in the computer fraud, they go after the false statements. and so i think there's a serious worry here. i think mr. cukushner is probab not sleeping easily these days. >> had he a shift in his legal team as well this weekend. eugene, let me talk to you about the latest abc news/"the washington post" numbers that show that 48% of respondents disapprove strongly of the president's job in office so far which is up from the polling in april. is the russia controversy at the center of that? or on is it potentially something else? >> it app to be not just the russian controversy but the multiple levels of it, right?

mr kushner says that the election was not discussed at any of these meetings.ther—in—law‘s perspective. i think those words were quietly spoken but forcefully spoken and what they've managed to do in that statement are several things. first of all some of you may have noticed the white house sale though, that is unusual coming to the microphone in the white house. it is usuallyjust reserved for the likes of the president or vice president. jared kushner was speaking for the white house. in that statement are not only did he manage to get across the fa ct only did he manage to get across the fact he feels he has been open and transparent and he has volunteered all the information that has been asked of him and that there was no collusion, he turned it round to donald trump's voters and donald trump's base by saying it is an insult to them to say that this election was rigged by the russians that donald trump didn't deserve to win. and that is the message this white house is trying to get across. they are trying to draw a line under the affair because it is overs

mr. kushner's assurance was based on the fact that nothing came to the june meeting.ead the president? what do you make of that? >> we may have very well misled the president. the question is what did the president know and when did he know it. the other question is what top white house people, trump administration and family members know as well. this is a scandal that's consuming the warehouse and we have now bill a bridge. that bridge went from the concerned allegation of collusion to de facto primi facie evidence of collusion. that's serious when you're talking will be hostile foreign powers, we know it happened. the other question is how much more happened. i suspect there is a tremendous amount here. we're just beginning to pull on the thread, eventually the sweater is going to come apart. so this is a huge deal for the white house. and i'm sure it's creating tremendous problems within the white house and staff. >> i want to ask you because this is around the time the e-mails were discovered. does this contradict what the president said? the president saying e o

mr. kushner's clearance as far as a receiving l -- confidential information. no response. of congress have been asked about the trump response.ation, no it's again, seems to be a practice and pattern by the not administration of cooperating with authority, with institutions and it gives me is the because president of the united states and his people now trying to the institutions that our country is built on and tryingves me concern and to have trust by the people of he united states in the institutions. host: there is movement in the the e and now back over to house to punish russia for interfering in the 2016 elections. with the story sanctions to punish russia for stalled.meddling are the legislation passed overwhelmingly in the senate, it back to the house. yesterday the speaker of the that paul ryan, said there is a procedural democrats are he not willing to go forward with some g it because of language in it that they're disputing. hat is going on with this sanctions bill? guest: the republican leadership nd my republican colleagues have got to stand up. here is a bi

mr. kushner added him as one of his attorneys some months ago. we will see if he is flanked by lawyers at the white house or if he is simply at the podium by himself. thank you so much. we will jump back to you as we need. let's talk about another stock on the move while we wait for the comments from jared kushner. it is constuilation brands getting downgraded. it is from goldman sachs. this is a stock hitting an all-time high. >> it is incredible up 28% year to date. this company continues to gain market share and doing a very good job in productivity. at the same time it's not cheap. i think this is more of a valuation call but goldman. beer trends have been declining and that is an issue. so can it continue to grow ten percent earnings growth from here probably not. i would use any pullback. it would have to come down five to ten percent for me to buy it. it is a great company. >> if you want to watch those. >> it's a global brand. it sdlibt distributes more tha beer. look at that. that is obviously having struggles. i think it is completely o

mr. kushner has consistently stated he is eager to cooperate and share what he knows.hael zeldin, does that statement change your calculous about how you're looking at this meeting? >> well, jamie is a terrific lawyer, and i think he's doing a very good job in representing jared kushner and jared kushner's statements seem to always be i want to do the right thing. i'm trying to do the right thing and i've made a mistake in the past. i've corrected it going forward, and it may well be the truth. to david's point, though, of the white house being unable to get its act together. as a lawyer, i think of it as an unwillingness to get its act together and david thinks of it in political terms and says i can't understand why they can't get this together. i think in legal terms why are they unwilling to get it together and why i say it in those terms is it implies that there's something that they are trying to hide, that there's a truth that they don't want revealed and that's why the story comes out as it comes out and once forced to tell the truth or evolve the truth then th

mr. kushner the chance to talk to our committee before i reach those kind of conclusions.do think it is strange to me that a meeting of this type that had been and we don't know whether mr. kushner actually saw this e-mail traffic but if he did see this e-mail traffic that indicated this meeting was going to be part of a campaign of the russian government to provide information that would be helpful to trump and hurtful to clinton, that mr. kushner wouldn't remember that meeting. >> yesterday, it seemed like a lot of surrogates for the president on air elsewhere were saying, well, you know, this kind of a meeting happens all the time. this is just standard operating procedure. and that donald trump jr. didn't nope the identity of the person that he was meeting with. now we have these e-mails in which this person is described as a russian government attorney and this information is coming from the russian government. now we're hearing from trump surrogates well, donald trump jr. was naive to the ways of politics and didn't realize he shouldn't have had this meeting. > balon

mr. kushner's failure to include some key information with meetings as part of a security clearance applicationwer meeting, of course. also, adam schiff defending the pace of the house intelligence committee's investigation. earlier today, i talked to mike connolly, the republican leading that investigation, he said it's going frustratingly slow. adam schiff said, well, this is an investigation that is global in nature. it's taking some time to get documents back, talk to witnesses, and one witness who they canceled testimony from is roger stone, who was supposed to testify later this month. the committee abruptly delayed that testimony. i asked adam schiff about that, and he said roger stone is still a person of interest to us. he will still come forward and very clear what's also interesting to them is this trump tower meeting. they want to talk to everybody who was involved in that meeting, including this lobbyist now at the center of this investigation. >> manu raju reporting. thank you. we also know the senate intelligence committee wants to talk to the different plards in the meeting at t

mr. kushner is the de fac de facto secretary of state. he seems to have an inordinate amount of influence. and a person with such influence has to be judged by the influence that he has. he should not be in the position he's in. and quite frankly, he should have his security clearance suspended or revoked. i agree with speaker pelosi said. my articles of impeachment are going to deal with obstruction of justice. and they deal with obstruction of justice in a political sense because, quite candidly speaking, many of the scholars that have been on programs have confused me. because they've used a legal standard for impeachment. and if you'll go to federalist 65, you'll find that the standard for impeachment has more to do with politics than it has to do with a judicial standard. so i won't have this particular instance in, but i will have some things that will meet the standards outlined in federalist 65. >> so this has to do, i'm assuming, with the firing of jim comey that donald trump's own actions after russia gate had already taken plac

mr. kushner wanting to set up a secret back channel. again, what do i think is notable here is the pattern. ofse are not a series events, denials, obfuscations, regarding china or canada or britain or france. they all come back to russia. course, the profound question is, why? time for one last question. >> could you please give us an ,pdate on the sanctions bill and give us an idea as to whether these events today will affect the path of that bill at all? we stand ready on a bipartisan basis to pass the senate bill overwhelmingly. certainly, these events have added urgency to doing exactly that. i think it is very important to understand in the context of that sanctions legislation, what is so disturbing and concerning about these new public revelations and why congress has to get to the bottom of them. the most serious risks to the country is that the russians possess compromising information that can influence this president's conduct of american policy. the russians know about this meeting. they were behind organizing the meeting. i

you said earlier all staff will report to the new chief of staff, does that include mr kushner and mrand mr bannon? that includes everyone at the white house. will the administration support the tax overhaul that comes out of the ways and means committee. we pitted a joint statement with the big six, we will continue working with them and announce details. when sean spicer resigned it was for a clean slate, now that scaramucci has resigned, it is also for a clean slate. is the slate completely clean or should we expect any more shake—ups? is the staff settled? they are. is there any chance you will leave the job of communications director alone, having had two people leave rather abruptly? we will let you know when we have any personnel announcements. when the president made his speech to police on friday, within minutes statements came from police chiefs across the country criticising his remarks that seem to endorse the use of force by police in search arrests. was the presidentjoking when he said this or did he checked his remarks with the international association of police chiefs

mr. kushner needs to make. but it's not a sufficient defense in order to forestall any criminal liability or the accusations that he's faced. >> but what he also said, particularly about this meeting with don trump junior, is that it was kind of unusual for them to sort of go in and out of each other's meetings. he didn't look often either at the subject line, although as kristen pointed out, the subject line was "russia-clinton private confidential", he didn't psychologicscroll down and tried to get out when he realized it was something else. is this a big problem do you think, or does it raise more questions? >> it certainly raises more questions. and i think there are additional questions about that meeting, the answers to which we don't yet have. but jared kushner said something very interesting in his 11-page statement. he said i received up to 200 e-mails a day during my time on the campaign. and i think as reporters, as well as people who have served in the white house will testify to, 200 e-mails a day

mr. john jr. who forwarded it to manafort and kushner. h and a half later after the hacked e-mails, manafort explicitly denied any ties to the russian government. >> are there any ties between mr. trump, you, and the putin regime? >> there are not. it is absurd. there is no basis to it. >> that same day, john jr. responded angrily to a clinton campaign aide saying this, something he knew at the time to be true. >> it is disgusting. so phony. i watched them bumble through the interview. i was able to hear it. i can't think of bigger lies but that goes to show what you the dnc and the clinton camp will do. they will lie and do anything to win. i don't mind a fair fight but these lies and the perpetuating of that kind of nonsense to gain political capital is outrageous and he should be ashamed of himself. >> that man who was quite evidently passionate and exorcised. he has now admitted he tried to get damaging information from the russian government. kushner would later attempt to set all that back channel with the russian government, possibl

in his first live televised comments in answer to the allegations, mr kushner insisted there had been nothing improper about his contacts with russian representatives. the parents of terminally ill baby charlie gard have ended their legal challenge to take him to the us for experimental treatment. doctors treating him had argued it would only prolong his suffering. and pop starjust bieber is trending on bbc.com. he's cancelled the rest of his purpose world tour because of what his publicist is calling "unforeseen circumstances". the move will affect 1a dates in asia and north america over the next three months. that's all from me for now. stay with bbc news. and the top story here in the uk: the government has announced plans to invest a quarter of a billion pounds in pioneering battery technology. business and energy secretary, greg clark, said making major changes to the way electricity is made, used and stored could save consumers up to £40 billion by 2050. now on bbc news, all the latest business news live from singapore. the parent company of google sees its quarterly profits slu

mr. kushner omitted significant details according to two people briefed on the exchange. they said mr. hner informed the president he had met with the russian foreign national and while he had to report the name, it would not cause a problem for the administration. now, according to gloria's reporting, this was discovered. the email chain was discovered june 21st, i believe. even if at first when he got the email, if he didn't scroll all the way down, one would think he would read the whole email exchange then and it seemed as though he wasn't totally forthcoming about this. >> the email in question actually has a subject line that says russia, clinton. it's problematic. and i think a lot of reasonable people would say i don't read all the emails and don't get to the bottom of every email chain that comes on my iphone. but -- >> but when there's an fbi investigation and you discover this email -- >> and according to the people i've talked to, he was aware of this email being discovered by his legal team as early as early june and so june 21st is when they file the updated sf 86 form. to
