He hasnt been charged with anything yet. But it would be standard procedure, and a Special Counsel investigation, to look into any financial heres what Jared Kushners lawyer is saying in a statement tonight. We do not know what this report refers to. It could be Standard Practice for the Special Counsel to examine financial records to look for anything related to russia. Mr. Kushner previously volunteered to share with congress what he knows about russia related matters. He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry. Whats your reaction to that . It may turn up nothing. But this is part and parcel of this long drawnout investigation that were in for. The idea that any one of these little new additions of information is going to be the body blow that, you know, unravels this whole mystery or takes down the administration, thats not going to happen. On the other hand, the idea that any one of these stories on its own is going to Vindicate Kushner or Presiden
need to be thorough. leaders of both parties calling for unity tonight and call for people on both sides of the political aisle to tone down harsh language. back with my panel. i want to put these tweets up and talk about scripted or teleprompter trump versus twitter trump. he said, this was he said they made up a phony collusion with russia. the russia story today found zero proof. now they go gor obstruction of justice on the phony story. nice. he said you re witnessing the single greatest witch hunt in american history. and also, he talked about, i think there was a crooked hillary tweet today as well. my question is, do you think he grasps the severity of it. but not only that, but do you think he understands the
entity to the demise of the united states. in doing so, you can t have one person who s pushing a lot of paper around, one bureaucrat in d.c. who is active. you have to have people taking very different angles, the obstruction angle, collusion, finances. that s why investigators are interviewing coats and rogers and everyone else, because they have to take a very wide approach. what this tells you is good news for the president of the united states, that there s not a narrow focus here. while he is now part of the probe and has by his own actions brought the magnifying glass above his head, anything is game. it tells you, of course, the focus, if it s not narrow, they don t know yet what they re looking for. it could be anything. that can in a way, that s not going to appease the president or make him feel comfortable, but it s a way of saying, look, we do not know yet what we have. which is why we cannot be
or the other, if there s any collusion, maybe there is, maybe there s not, we re going to find out one way or the other if there s any obstruction of justice. laura, speak to us about the significance of this. we spoke last hour, that this doesn t necessarily mean guilt. you know, less than 150 days in office, the president is reportedly under investigation. his son-in-law, and the finances being looked at. how much trouble is this for the administration? it s a great deal of trouble. politically speaking, of course, and legally, it s no picnic to have the fbi have a devoted person whose singular focus is to determine whether or not you violated the law. yes, it could ultimately come up that they are completely exonerated in some way, and vindicated. but realistically speaking, this is an indication this is going to be a thorough and very wide sweeping dragnet. there are people closer and closer to the president s orbit. with michael flynn, he, too, is
is on offense of what they want to do of what motivated voters to support donald trump in the first place is really a lost day. so every single day we see that the president and white house staff having to litigate this, makes it potentially more i would be nervous about this if i worked for donald trump. because, you know the wider part of it, yeah. right. there s theory, i don t know if it s true, that a theory that we all commit three felonies a day. if you followed me around all day, you could put pretty much i don t know about you, okay. i ll steer clear. what are you doing? my point is, look, starts off as a land deal in arkansas, and ends up with the president, you know, perjuring himself. or starts off with a valerie plaim leak and ends up with scooter libby. i think that, you know, it could be that there s no collusion, that there s no fundamental problem. but if you lie to the fbi, you
