reporter: senators from both parties, jake, are telling me by the end of this week that her nomination is going to be september back to the white house. at that point, the white house will decide whether or not to renominate her and members from both parties are saying her chances of reconfirmation, even if renominated are exceedingly grim. this because of that plea agreement between robert mueller and michael flynn. in that it said that flynn had a discussion with a senior transition official about conversations that flynn was going to have with seg guy kislyak, then the russian ambassador, or sanctions just imposed by the obama administration. but mcfarland when she testified before the senate foreign relations committee was asked in written correspondence about whether he had any conversations about flynn with kislyak. what she said, jake, she was not aware of any such conversations. she has not sent anything to the committee since this was revealed. it s unclear what she will d
about whether he was mixing his transition role with his private real estate role. specifically there was a meeting he did with a bank linked to russian intelligence where the bank said, hey, this was a business meeting and kushner said, no, actually, i was meeting with them in my capacity as transition official. there are questions about why he failed to initially disclose more than 100 contacts on his foreign security form. a lot of scrutiny on jared kushner. thank you. the tax vote is done. it s in the books. what does congress tackle next? we ll introduce you to one of the millions of families hoping desperately for it to be the children s health insurance program. if little sally happens to break her arm or, you know, get sick and it s nice to have coverage for little accidents. for us it s to keep them alive. traders they re always looking for advantages. the smart ones look to fidelity to find them.
mcfarland. i m told that her nomination will be sent back to the white house as soon as this week when the session for the year wraps up. that s because her testimony from earlier this year to the senate foreign relations committee appears to be at odds with the special counsel robert mueller s plea agreement that he reached with michael flynn, the former national security adviser. now, k.t. mcfarland was a deputy under michael flynn, and according to the documents that were unsealed earlier this month, the michael flee plea agreement, there was an unnamed senior transition official who had a conversation with michael flynn about sanctions on russia. a conversation that would occur between flynn and sergey kislyak. now, when k.t. mcfarland was asked about whether or not she had any conversations with michael flynn about kislyak, when she was asked by senator cory booker during the confirmation proceedings, she said she was not aware of that. it turns out according to that court documen
national security advise eer, president of the united states. it was moments after he was being sworn in. find a text about policy in the sense of you re not in transition official anymore. but as you point out, astounding for what he chose to say and for who he chose to say it if it happened. look, flynn is is now central to this. it brings this investigation into the oval office. wr you work eed with flynn for man years. you presided over his promotion ceremony to be a throw-star general. president obama chose to fire him. president trump has been sticking by general flynn. even after firing him. even through recent days. here he is. general flynn is a a wonderful man. i think he s been treated very, very unfairly by the media. this man has served for many years. he s a general. he s, in my opinion, a very good person. i feel badly for general
