Clearance. do we have any reasons why the president and his daughter would not be truth fuful about that, annann annie. >> the president is not truth full about a lot of things, just remember that as a background thing. i dont know if this is motivation but jared and ivanka for a long time felt that john kelly was out to get them somehow and like the president he used tools available to him to elevate allies and punish. he was holding up the security clearance process to hurt them. thats how the...

Whatever the accuracy or not of recent news stories, we were not aware of or told of any request for or action by the president to be involved in the security clearance process. thats statement number two. we were wondering who is included in the we there? yet another statement came in from jared kushners lawyer abbe lowell, the third one of the last 24 hours and this third one is notably locafocused on abbe lowell himself. mr. lowell was not aware of or told by action by the president to be inv...

H -- abbe lowell himself. mr. lowell was not aware of or told by action by the president to be involved in the security process. they affirmed at the time the regular process occurred without pressure. they told me it was regular process. i mean, abbe lowell is saying dont ask me, ask them, ask the white house. mr. lowell was not told of anything the president might have done about ordering up a top secret clearance over objections. can we -- i dont know if we can do this graphically. do we try ...

Experts agree that he did. but why did white house officials misrepresent it and perhaps deliberately lie about it at the time? why the need for secrets, brianna. >> its a very good question, sarah westwood at the house, thank you. they want to know more about this and about the white house security process. a democrat on both of those committees is here. sir, what did you think about the revelation at the time that the president himself intervened, and also, if that is true, that he lied abou...

To. one of the things that is striking is what really happened, that enough were discouraged that they talked to reporters. >> he has denied and said he was not involved in the security process at all. we know back during 2017 the amending of the reports that happened again and again and again he started filling the reports out after the election and sort of going into the transition here. they have been delaying far long time. i think at the time im thinking about this now. it was also a sins s...

Security process. finances through foreign context. what really concerns me about this particular process is that, you you know, the president had every right to do this but kushner did receive it because he did something that fell into one of two categories. there was something in his path that made him vulnerable to being blackmailed by a foreign entity. it is not like the average person that has too much credit because they try hard to make sure the president has the advisers that he wants. >...

Everything in place. not only to protect the super bowl event, 78,000 people that will be there at kickoff, but the millions of people that are celebrating throughout the city of atlanta, they have to keep all of those individuals safe as well. so, again, multilayered approach, very close coordination between state, local and federal agencies, bringing forth a comprehensive security process. >> definitely comprehensive. i kept hearing this thing buzzing over where i live, oh, it is the blimp, i ...

Michael flynn, jared kushner and others improper access to top secrets. >> even john kelly when he was chief of staff acknowledged there were problems with the security process. now house democrats want to air that dirty laundry, they want the documents and are prepared to issue a subpoena to get them. and good day, everyone, im andrea mitchell in washington. day 33 of the government shutdown. today both houses are gearing up for votes tomorrow that will likely fail but possibly clear the way ...

Serious player. number one, if youre going to arrest our people and pose sanctions on us, well retaliate and number two if you have our people, this is a potential trade. this is not a serious spy game. >> would you have hired him as a spy? >> hell no. did you look at his background? not in my lifetime. youll see indications that anybody in my business would look at and say no way on gods green earth im bringing this guy into security service. >> he was discharged for larceny. >> i didnt say it....

Is what senator lindsay graham meant when he said the president was in pause mode. i dont know that slowing something down, and announcing there will be a troop withdrawal, thats not a pause? >> no, it appears to be the start of a change of attitude. heres the thing. i would like to comment. many people dont know. this is one of the things the president would say, the president seems to have not used the security process. he has he has asked for advice, and presidents can do this, and he asked f...
