Whatever they want to talk about that isn't classified. so unlike today, we'll hear maybe both sides of the story. where as it appears today mr. kushner's narrative will last until at least this evening when maybe we'll hear from some of the senior members of the intel committee. >> let's talk about jared kushner's strategy here. i was looking at the very first page of this 11-page statement and one of the sentences is, "i am not a person who has sought the spotlight." true. a lot of people, frankly, have never even heard him speak. he isn't someone who has gone out and made statements before....

Will be given by the members themselves, not just their staff. so it's going to be a little bit of a different animal. i think you might see members more intentionally, and again, this is all behind closed doors, not for the cameras, about but some of the democratic members may be more aggressive in trying to push kushner off his talking points, off his specific answers and see if he can be rattled. i can't help but think about the fact that this morning you had the president tweeting about adam schiff, the democratic head of the house intelligence committee, attaching a nickname to him, calli...
