bannon, jer add kushner, and the king of jordan. now, there s nothing inherently scandalous about the king of jordan or members of a presidential transition team meeting any foreign leaders. it happens all the time. it is unusual that they didn t disclose it. jared kushner initially left the meeting off his security application, mike flynn left it off his security clearance application, we re working on bannon s application. beyond the seekry see the fact it has not been disclosed until now, here s another really acute problem about what buzz feed as reported, democrats on the house oversight and foreign afires committee reported on wednesday morning that another thing mike flynn failed to initially disclose was that he was a paid agent working to advance a business proposition to partner with russian nuclear and
by wednesday afternoon the wall street journal reported once mike flynn was national security adviser working in the trump white house he continued to advance the russian business proposal up to and including telling national security staff members they had to take meetings with the companies that were involved in that business plan. now what buzz feed reports is not just mike flynn but ban and and kushner who does still work in the white house, buzz feed reports that the three of them were in on a meeting, a previously undisclosed meeting, with the king of jordan during the transition at which they talked about that nuclear deal. again, this is the reporters at buzz feed. and it s really interesting, they get denials, i love the way they source it, they get denials from three individuals, one close to flynn, one close to kushner and one close to bannon.
all lying about it? remember, put that panel back up. a lot of people are gone from this white house. flynn s gone, bannon s gone. kushner s still there. joining us now a pulitzer prize winning reporter from buzz feed news. the way i stacked that up was there s a few things that you guys have broken here that add to other people s reporting to get new news. previously undisclosed meeting, a second meeting that seems to involve the flynn nuclear deal. and the question about whether or not these guys are telling the truth about what the content was of that meeting. right. in terms of the undisclosed nature of this meeting, there s nothing inherently second lous about transition meetings talking to foreign leaders. they should have gone to the nsc and let them know the head of state is in the united states and they probably should have reported it on their security
has returned home from a foreign visit. of a private nature? yes. which is this visit. that s the only public statement from anyone involved that the king of jordan was in the united states at the four seasons hotel and ultimately meeting with three of the incoming white house officials. and according to your source with access to the law enforcement document was talking to kushner, bannon about a potential nuclear deal involving the russians. that doesn t sound like a fun private visit. that s the reason i m on. this is a interesting scoop. as you can tell from this discussion i have a feeling it will lead to a lot more interesting information. i hope so. much more to come. busy night. become become become become you? and this wrestling ticket. which you still owe me for. seriously? $25? i didn t even want to go. ahhh, your diary.
disclosures. we know mr. flynn did not, jared did not on his initial disclosure, he did subsequently. we don t know what bannon did. we ve been trying to get that document out of the white house. they have refused. people around mr. bannon have refused to give us any indication of what he put down. there are a lot of meetings between members of the trump campaign, the trump transition with foreign officials that did not get disclosed until after the fact. interesting reporting this week about the crown prince of the united arab emirates turning up with same group. meeting with kushner, manafort, bannon. in that case, it appears that u.s. intelligence agencies were aware of that meeting in part because they were weirded out that the crown prince from the united arab emirates was in the united states without telling
