my: nermeen: a sweeping investigation has raised questions about the little known trump organization potential conflicts of interests should trump became president. the investigation published in "newsweek" magazine reveals the trump organization is a vast financial network that stretches from new york city to india, ukraine, china, brazil, argentina, turkey, and russia. it's connected to russian mining, banking, and real estate billionaire vladimir potanin, who himself is closely tied to the russian government. trump's frequent praise of russian president vladimir putin has already sparked concern among national security experts about u.s. foreign policy under a possible trump presidency. the report concludes -- "if donald trump wins this election and his company is not immediately shut down or forever severed from the trump family, the foreign policy of the united states of america could well be for sale." amy: this comes as trump has repeatedly attacked the clinton foundation during the primary campaign, alleging that during hillary clinton's term as secretary of state she may have

it's a detailed look at the trump organization, where it operates and where the conflicts might ariseonald trump is elected president of the united states. and we welcome tonight the man who did the leg work and the reporting and wrote this investigation, kurt ikenwald of "newsweek," first full disclosure, number one this is the most traffic "newsweek" will have received in a long, long time. the article is longer than godfather 1 and 2. but people should read it. it's received a lot of traffic today. i have seen you on television all day long, you just heard my attempt with governor christie to talk about what conflicts there might be. tell me what you found, how you define the trump organization, it's breadth and scope. >> the biggest problem with the trump organization is that virtually nobody in this country understands what it is. there is an entity that has about 500 different sub groups, partnerships, corporations, that are based here, that are based overseas and almost all of them have partners and what i started digging into is, well, who are the overseas partners, which of t

donald trump's company, the trump organization, trademarked the name trump back in 2008 for the use inertain deals. it met with an organization call call called, which they tried to negotiate a deal. the head of that organization, who, again, very politically connected, very tied in to the putin government backed away from the deal because trump wanted too much money. now, in the future, you're talking about giving money to either the family of the president of the united states or money that will go to the president of the united states if his company is in this, you know, blind trust. and, so, that is one thing that exists. the other is actually surprisingly through the apprentice. donald trump is the executive producer. there's a program in moscow which is hosted by a major russian billionaire who obtained radio specktric licenses. i'm sorry, i'm using the wrong country. but who obtained certain benefits from the russian government that were the result of, again, political connections. >> and that show, that show, by the way, in russia, it is the equivalent of "the apprentice" is ca

do it right. >>> a new report in "newsweek" investigates the connections between trump organization ands and governments. the report finds that there are connections that would create, "a national security nightmare" if trump is elected. how will hillary clinton respond when she returns to the trail tomorrow. let's discuss with david axelrod former adviser to president obama. always great tahao have you her. potential global conflicts of interest for donald trump had been overlooked including sources of his vast debt. you think this is an underreported story. what are we missing? >> we don't know anything, really. this story sort of scratches the surface of his financial empire, but he's made it clear that he's not going to divest himself of his business. his kids are going to run the business. we know from some other reporting that the business has hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of debt. there's been some have come from russian sources and the bank of china funded one of his projects. what does it mean to have this kind of president that has indebtedness and commercial ti

from a bloomberg report that around 2012, 2013, or maybe 2011-2012, there were others from the trump organization looking to develop golf courses in florida. there were cases over the decades that trump has explored business opportunities in cuba. one thing i'd like to point out, there's a possibility that donald trump is telling the truth about him not doing business in cuba. understand that he reimbursed a consultant that went down there. however, trump, if all the facts that we know right now are true, might have still been complicit in violating the u.s. cuba embargo because this consultant, richard fields, appeared to fly under false colors down there and use a charity as a phony excuseor going down. because under the embargo, you can go down to cuba and not need a license as long as you are fully hosted is what they call it by a non-u.s. entity, sometimes a charity. so it looked like from the documents that kirk eichenwald found that fields had gone down there, used this charity as kind of a fig leaf for going down there, then explored business opportunities. the ridiculous or weird thing i

we are talking about actual pay for possible play with the trump organization. pay from the clinton's foundation. they are not getting any money. the clinton and the trump's are getting hundreds and millions of dollars a year. >> kurt, thank you very much, we'll post links to your article. we already did this morning. we appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. >> colin powell leaked after a hacker broke into his computer. powell called trump "national disgrace." you are watching msnbc, the place for politics. it easier to g et here, the neighborhood is really changing. i'm always hopping on the train, running all over portland. i have to go wherever the work is. trains with innovative siemens technology help keep cities moving, so neighborhoods and businesses can prosper. i can book 3 or 4 gigs on a good weekend. i'm booked solid for weeks. it takes ingenuity to make it in the big city. i'm booked solid for weeks. is it a professor who never stops being a student? is it a caregiver determined to take care of her own? or is it a lifetime of work that bla

what should happen to the trump organization? donald trump talked about it this morning.he's trez, take a listen. >> well i will sever connections and i'll have my children and my executives run the company and i won't discuss it with them. it's just so unimportant compared to what we're doing about making america great again. i just wouldn't care. now i guess you could say there's a conflict because as the company -- as the country gets stronger that's good for all companies, right? but i wouldn't care. it's so unimportant compared to what i'm doing right now. >> all right so that's the first time we've heard trump say that he would step away from his organization in any way. he suggests it wouldn't matter because the natural conflict would be that the rising tide would raise his company again. that is not the consideration of conflict so let's discuss. we have senior adviser to the trump campaign boris epstein and we have new york's city council speaker and hillary clinton supporter melissa mark del rio. good to have you both. >> thank you. >> transparency, what we know

if the trump family is still operating the trump organization, a president trump could take actions as president that would finally benefit the trump organization and his children who would be running it, he could also take actions that would benefit himself and his organization after his presidency. so, yeah, we were first to report last night the bare bones of this bombshell cover story from "newsweek" magazine, it is now official out, and that's a big deal. the main response from the trump campaign so far is the line about how he's only benefiting his children. they have also taken a bunch of swipes at the reporter himself. this story is a big one, we're going to have more during the course of this hour. that happened today. >>> also today, in pure political gossip terms, today hackers released two years of e-mails from colin powell, now we well now, in private correspondent, general powell has unbelievably even profanely critical things to say about a lot of other bald faced names in politics, everybody from donald trump to hillary clinton, to bill clinton to donald rumsfeld, to pa

there was one employee, the catering manager, who said that a trump organization vice president, vinceelio told her to fire one employee because she was overweight, because donald trump doesn't like fat people, quote/unquote. she refused to do that. another general manager told her to fire that employee and she refused, so they came up with a compromise so they would schedule that employee to not be around when donald trump would come to town. >> you write about a manager who talked about a young, attractive hostess who talked to donald trump while entertaining some guests. what did the manager say next? >> that the young woman was brought over to some older men that donald trump was entertaining and said, you don't have to go to hollywood to find beautiful women, and that donald trump asked this young server, do you like jewish men? >> and i understand that all of those who gave declarations, they had to sign nondisclosure agreements as part of a settlement, but you did speak at length to a former employee. what'd you learn from them? >> well, i can't say in detail what they said, bec

trump organization is a private company. ose assets are because he built them all and he has the largest global portfolio of businesses of any candidate in history. so the company is trump. trump is the company. there's no way to separate it. even as he's talked about giving it to his children, he knows what's in there. let's say you're the russian government and trump says, we'll reduce sanctions on the russian government and two weeks later, announced a new hotel in moscow. that money is going to ivanka, eric, and donald jr. but the trump family. the headquarters of the trump organization could move to the oval office and no rule preventing that. >> he can't really untangle himself if he's the president but not a rule that says he needs to. one could say this is a-okay. >> legally, nothing to stop him. he's a businessman and if he can do something, he will. and there's just no time left in this year to pass laws and the vice president and the president are exempt from the ethics rules that apply otherwise to cabinet members

all of the charity organizations that review the -- the overseers who review charity organizations have given the trumpe have given the clinton organization the highest rating. unlike the trump organization, which is operating totally in the dark. you don't know who he's got financial dealings with, and by the way he's going to profit personally. his family will profit personally from whatever the united states may decide about its relations with all of these countries. read people who are watching, read that "newsweek" article and tell us you don't think that he should reveal what his entanglements are across the globe. it is dangerous to the u.s. to have somebody who could potentially take office who has a financial interest in companies that do business in other countries and who may be making foreign policy decisions on your behalf the citizens. it is massively different than the clinton foundation. >> governor jennifer granholm, thank you for making the case this morning on "new day." let's get to chris. >> all right, here's what we know for sure. 100%. on november 8th, somebody's going to win. an

we are seeing that the trump organization has business ties all around the globe with very powerful businessmenthese businessmen at some times have, they are at odds with their government. the question is right now for donald trump, who has all of this business with these foreign countries, will foreign leaders now make decisions based upon donald trump's wanting for his private business hoping to influence u.s. foreign policy which is a very very big question. also, the question is, when donald trump said that he would hand this over in a blind trust to his family, they point out that doesn't matter. the fact of the matter is if trump's family is running the company, there is still going to be an effort by these foreign leaders to try to influence u.s. foreign policy on some major decisions, knowing full well his company would benefit financially from it. what is really troubling is in the case of turkey right now, where you have the president of turkey who is not very happy with donald trump, and eichenwald says he's been told by turkish leaders that if trump were elected president, then in f

the article reads in part, quote, a close examination by newsweek of the trump organization including confidential interviews, reveal deep ties to global financeer or criminal evidence. it also reveals the web of contractual entanglements that cannot be just canceled if the family continues to receive any benefit from the company during or even after his presidency. almost every foreign policy decision he makes will raise serious conflicts of interest and ethical, he has already said that if he should win the white house, his children will simply take over his company, does that -- is that enough in your view? >> it may be a little more complicated than that. if trump is elected, we never had a president with such complex business to enter the white house and one of the things the newsweek points out it would be difficult for trump to use the traditional vehicle of a blind trust, putting his investments and wealth in a blind trust because trump knows he owns lots of stuff around the world and even if his children take over the business, there will still be complexities involved. for e

donald trump has partners all over the world through the trump organization. they're not disclosing them. i found a bunch of them. they're in my reported newsweek, you can see what their conflicts are and john kennedy didn't have anything like this going on. no president in history has had -- let's not start talking about the clintons. let's stay on top. >> the clinton to you, jeffrey is -- >> there has never been a president in the history of the united states, who has had these kinds of conflicts of interest. >> okay, so then -- >> and we can address the actual topic or we can play the clintons kennedys, i'm rubber and you're glue, we ask start discussing reality. >> jeffrey, would you have wanted the kennedys to reveal the sort of information so the public could make their own assessment, that is the question? >> i don't think it was relevant then. we got through the kennedy administration. i don't think it was relevant. >> you don't think it's relevant? >> what we're saying is if you're a billionaire with a global concern going, you should never be preside

trump have his organization release the names of their partners? i've asked for that.ack them down on my own. i had to be calling people in the middle east. i had to be calling people all over the world to get these names. that is not simple. and once you know the names of the companies, then you have to find out, well, who are the people in the companies and who are they connected to? i mean, one great example, probably easiest to understand example is in azerbaijan. you have a deal where there's an individual who is donald trump's partner. that individual is the son of a senior government official in azerbaijan. that government official, american intelligence, believes is laundering money for the iran yan milita iranian military. that is not a minor issue. >> we have to take donald trump's economic speech. he's going to reveal policy but on the side, i know reporters don't make stories about themselves. i watched your twitter feed and some of the reaction from trump supporters whether they're anti-se manti anti-semetic and trump has gotten that kind of response. >> i

the trump organization says give leave to men and women and proud of family-friendly environment. when pressed about when the policy started, they declined to respond about when it came into effect. we don't know. that's their current policy. eight weeks. >> i think this is example of how preposterous the campaign has become. this is a very serious issue that hillary clinton hasz been at center of for her entire life. this is not a serious substitute proposal. it's not a broad proposal. if anything it is a tiny -- covers a tiny fraction of people and use money they themselves paid into the unemployment insurance department to cover it. it's window dressing. next thing trump will say is he's for a path to citizenship or health care. >> he's going to talk about the new york economic club and build on this and fill in blanks. i as father of two daughters think it's great. as ivanka said, women in the workplace is about half the jobs and can't poo poo it away. >> but clearly donald trump has made a lot of statements about women as businessman on the howard stern show and elsewhere, a

given the foreign investments and ties from the trump organization to foreign investments. what will you and your family do to prevent any potential con flibls of interest? >> there's something so much bigger than our business at stake and that's the future of this country. as a private business we can make decisions that are not in our best interest. we're not beholden 0 anyone to shareholders. we can say, you know what, we'll do less deals and not going to do that deal even though it's a reasonable because it could create a conflict of interest and we'll act incredibly responsibly and my father already said he would put it into a blind trust and it would be run by us. so he's been very articulate on that fact and outspoken but this is so much bigger than another deal and we all recognize that. >> the candidates' health have become a big issue especially with hillary clinton. he told our david muir he might release more information. i understand you may be going on dr. oz later today to discuss your father's health. can you tell us what he's prepared to release later today

your updated story-- they say if he becomes president, he's going to cut all ties with the trump organizationy doesn't that aleavate any concern about a conflict of t interest? >> trump's too smart a businessman mott to know thatha he's lying on this one. o you know, you start off, he's had three explanations.d one is that he's going to put the company in a blind trust. a blind trust is something where you take a portfolio of investments, give to an independent person, who then handles your trading and your transactions, exu never knowu what's in it. well, trump is saying, "i will put this one company in a blind trust." he knows what's in it. it's that one company. there's nobody independent managing it. it's his children. when he says he'll sever all ties to it, you can't have a company where you're getting financial benefits, your children are getting financial benefits, and your children are running the company and say, "i have severed my ties on it." third, trump is going into this-- he's not going to suddenly lose all his memory. trump knows who his business partners are.pa the rest of t

you said last night that the trump organization headed by your father does offer paid maternity leave for its employees. is that for all of the thousands >> it is and also adoption leave. so it's a great thing and at my own business since inception i've offered eight weeks paid leave, only 10% of american companies offer that benefit so it is quite unique and this policy is to encourage more companies and to encourage all americans to be able to get the benefit of it should they be new mothers because it's so critical and important. i'll go a step further in my own business. i also offer flexible hours. i don't police sick days or vacation days. i really believe that when you hire people who are self-starters, you don't need to police those sorts of things and i think it's very important to create work environments that are results oriented and we've spoken about this a little in the past. >> we have, indeed. >> and i think especially for women who are managing so many obligations inside and outside in a lot of the case, and the child care policy is so important because as primary car

i tried to get both the campaign and the trump organization to respond. and i tried to get donald trump to talk to me. and nobody responded. the story was broken last night that this was coming out on rachel maddow. and within 15 minutes, i got a threat from trump's lawyers. they sicced their lawyers on me saying we have looked in the company and there are no documents relating to this, which means they had been responding and they were ready to spring their trap. but they looked in the wrong company. and i told them, you looked in the wrong company. >> hold on a second. the trump team looked within the trump organization, but they assumed it's portfolio companies at the wrong company within the trum umbrella? >> right, the company that did it was trump casinos or i'm sorry, trump casino and hotel resorts which is now part of e the, which is now owned by carl icahn, but they were sitting here going, harx harx, we have gone through the trump organization and there's nothing here. i had to tell them, guys, you're looking at the wrong company. i have the docu

>> "the washington post" has reported extensively about how trump's organization and his son donald trumped in the pastbout how russian interests and russian money has flowed into different trump projects throughout the world because the trump organization's private it's been hard to map all of this out. we have seen don jr. talk about it publicly. >> margaret, we just watched hillary clinnon there, she's doing a lot of foreign policy stuff this week. she is also starting to mix it in with kind of more personal human stuff, she talked about her faith last night. talk about that two-track strategy that seems to be emerging as we head into this home stretch. >> she has one big strength, her foreign policy experience. it's a liability to some extent but it's also a demonstrated strength, a skill donald trump doesn't have experience, doesn't have -- she has a couple big weaknesses and a major one is character questions but also just personality, likability. people's comfort level with her. they feel she's too much of a professional politician or too stiff, whathave you. she's been encouraged

ivanka trump when she was selling this doing interviews. her organizationeeks paid leave. we find that may not be true. >> according to the huffington post who went to trump hotels who don't necessarily work for the trump organization, but subsidiaries of the trump organization so they fold up into the larger organization. they don't get any paid maternity leave. they rely on sick leave. the bare minimum you can do in federal law. according to the huffington post. that is stunning in argument of what ivanka trump talked about the other day. >> the issue of health. for both of the candidates. for trump, the business dealings and taxes not released. hillary clinton's e-mails. all of this is playing in the minds of voters. i want you to look the polls. let's start with the state of ohio here. you can see donald trump ahead 48% when it comes to honesty and trustworthy. voters there think he is more honest and also in florida. 48% over clinton's 40%. as these polls are tightening, what do these candidates have to do now? especially hillary clinton who is surely

this report, rebecca, in "the los angeles times," they discovered court documents which former trump organizationloyees said, in sworn depositions, declarations, that trump pressured managers to fire female employees who are not "pretty enough" as well as employees who were overweight. what's going to be the reaction to that? >> there was some reporting by "the los angeles times" and really because these were sworn states, sort of indisputable. it coming at a really inopportune time for donald trump, needless to say. as clinton and her campaign are trying to drive this point home that he's been not only unfair to women, but quite terrible in the past to many women in his life, making really harsh statements about them, their appearances. and this just feeds into that narrative further. and this suspect purely academic, because during the debate, an nbc news poll found after watching 27% of likely women voters said that the debate made them think worse of trump. while a third said it improved their estimation of clinton. that matters on election day. >> when we learned about what he said about mis
