Now, the questions surrounding all this. Abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega tonight. Reporter with the white house in turmoil, tonight, the president s own soninlaw facing growing scrutiny. According to the new york times, two major wall street
companies loaned Jared Kushners Family Business more than half a billion dollars after executives had multiple meetings with kushner in the white house. One of those executives even discussed the possibility of a white house job. A spokesman for kushners lawyer says the president s senior is adviser has had no role in the Kushner Company since joining the government, adding that kushner has followed the ethics advice he has received from all of his work which include the separation from his business and recusals when appropriate. Kushner is often seen at his fatherinlaws side, but he rarely speaks publicly. I have not sought the spotlight. First in business, and now in public service. Reporter but in recent days, he hasnt been able to avoid the spotlight. As part of a west wing shakeup by chief of staff john kelly, he lost his top secret security clearance. And according to the washington post, officials. Multiple foreign governments have discussed ways to manipulate kushner by taking advantage of his lack of Foreign Policy experience and financial troubles. The Kushner Family business is struggling raise money for the manhattan skyscraper at 666 fifth avenue that Jared Kushner bought for nearly 2 billion. Much of it still sitting empty. Is Jared Kushner becoming a distraction given all the controversies that hes been at the center of in recent days . Look, jared is still a valued member of the administration. And hes going to continue to focus on the work that he has been doing. Reporter the turmoil engulfing the white house, not just about kushner. The president s longtime aide and close confidante, hope hicks, resigned. And tonight, new questions about the fate of jeff sessions. After the president once again lashed out at his attorney general on twitter, this time, sessions fired right back, defending his integrity. And then, he was photographed at dinner with Deputy Attorney general rod rosenstein, another frequent president ial target. Washington dubbing it, a show of solidarity. Does the president want to get rid of his attorney general . Not that i know of. Reporter the president is furious at sessions. Behind closed doors, sometimes calling him mr. Magoo. Amid the chaos, one man who has been under fire seems to have weathered the storm. John kelly with some dark humor today, in a visit with former colleagues at the department of homeland security. I miss every one of you, every day. [ laughter ] but i did something wrong and god punished me, i guess. A lot of laughter in that room. Cecilia vega from inside the white house tonight. And cecilia, the white house is trying to contain speculation late today about yet another possible high profile departure . Reporter yeah, david. Sources tell us that National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster is expected to leave his job as soon as this spring. There have been longrunning tensions between mcmaster and the president over what many here view as mcmasters abrasive style in some Oval Office Meetings. But just a few minutes ago, officials here at the white house tell us there was just an Oval Office Meeting between the two men that just wrapped up and the president told mcmaster he is doing a great job, david, they are calling this speculation fake news. Cecilia vega inside the briefing room, where she was asking the questions today. Thanks to you. The white house and the country learning of that new threat from russian president Vladimir Putin. His Nuclear Warning to the world and to the u. S. And those images he used of missiles raining down on florida. Putin declaring, youll listen to us now. Heres abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz tonight. Reporter putins annual state of the nation was provocative and threatening. Giant screens showing missiles raining down on florida, and what was billed as an invincible intercontinental cruise missile. A nuclearpowered cruise missile, which putin claimed cold travel around any obstacle. And for antiballistic missile systems, he claimed, unstoppable. The missile shown headed toward the west coast of the united states. No one has listened to us, putin said, youll listen to us now. A u. S. Official tells abc news the missile is not yet in
production, but the former vice chairman of the joint chiefs says there are concerns. The thing that distresses me, theyve obtained a high assurance that their attacks would be successful, by going to higher speeds and coming from different directions. Reporter of course, President Trump has done little to turn down the heat. I want this, our nuclear arsenal, to be the biggest and the finest in the world. Reporter putins announcement also comes just days after the head of the National Security agency said the u. S. Has not done enough to punish russia over election meddling. They havent paid a price, at least, thats sft to get them to change their behavior. Martha, the threat of the knew nuclear weapons, some are going to say this seems reminiscent of the cold war. Are we looking at another one here . Reporter david, if this keys going in the same direction, it could certainly turn into that, but neither country really wants that to happen again. And for putins part, david, this is also about appearing
strong domestically. The president ial election in russia is just weeks away. David . Thats right, on the eve of that election. Martha, thank you. Next to the fallout here at home after that meeting just yesterday at the white house on School Violence and guns. President trump agreeing with the democrats in the room on several ideas, including universal background checks. He also brought up raising the age to buy weapons like the ar15. But the reaction from many republicans was immediate, and tonight, what theyre now saying. As democrats say theyre going to hold the president to his word. Heres abcs chief White House Correspondent jonathan karl. Reporter a day after he vowed to push for bold action on gun violence we have to do something about it. We have to act. Reporter the president s high hopes are already hitting a familiar reality on capitol hill no consensus, no action. I hope this doesnt end up like the immigration debate, where we end up having votes and end up with nothing to show for it. Reporter some of the president s most reliable republican friends in congress, said point blank they couldnt
support some of the ideas he embraced. Take his proposal to seize the guns of anyone identified as a possible threat, even without a hearing. I like taking the guns early. Take the guns first, go through due process second. I love my president. I supported him. I still support him. But he and i are going to have to disagree on this idea of due process. Reporter republicans are also cool to the president s call for universal background checks and for raising the age to buy a rifle, poll sills opposed by the nra. Some of you people are petrified of the nra. You cant be petrified. They want to do whats right. Reporter republicans didnt like that. I think hes its a little hyperbole. Reporter the nra didnt either. I thought it made for really good tv. But i thought some of what was discussed is going to make for really bad policy. Reporter gridlock on guns is nothing new. But President Trump told the lawmakers, he is the one that can change that. You have a different president now. Well, listen
you went through a lot of president s and you didnt get it done. Mr. President , its going to have to be you that brings the republicans to the table on this, because right now, the gun lobby would stop it in its tracks. I like that responsibility, chris. I really do. I think its time that a president stepped up. Reporter the democrats in that room loved it, but have doubts on whether the president will follow through. Question is, was this words or is the president going to put some action behind it . Lets get to jon karl at the white house tonight. Jon, we were all watching that meeting play out on television. Lawmakers in that room, President Trump saying he wants this legislation now, that he doesnt want to wait. But one day later, youre hearing a different tone from the white house . Reporter well, we seem to hear different tone from the White House Press secretary, where the president said, its important to act now, Sarah Sanders said today, this is going to be an ongoing process. We dont expect something to happen overnight. That said, aides say this is a top priority for the president , he met again with the victims of School Shootings here today at the white house, his message to them is that hes going to get something done. All right, jon karl, our thanks to you again tonight. President trump also taking action today on trade, imposing stiff tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from other countries. Blaming those countries for destroying those industries here at home. But could his move lead to higher prices on products here, even cars and trucks . Stocks falling sharply on the news. The dow jones losing 420 points to close at 24,608. So, lets get right to abcs chief business and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis tonight. Whats rattling investors on this one . Reporter david, the primary concern is, while this is helpful to u. S. Steel and aluminum companies, it also means that the cost for u. S. Manufacturers on those materials go up, and that could ultimately get passed along to consumers. So, take the ford f150, for example. The engine is made here in the united states. The travns mission is made here. It is assembled here. But some of the aluminum in that car comes from canada. And as that price goes up, the company ultimately has to make a decision, what do we do . Do we pass that cost along to consumers . Think of anything that involves a car. Beer, soda. Think of building materials. All of those costs start to go up in the case of these tariffs. Well be backing this. Rebecca, thank you. And one more note tonight involving your money. Weve been tracking the spending by members of the president s cabinet, taxpayer dollars, and tonight here, housing secretary ben carson under pressure for his spending on office furniture, including a dining set for 31,000. Theyre not canceling that order, but how do they explain the price tag in the first place . Abcs mary bruce, tracking your money tonight. Reporter its the department thats supposed to look out for the poorest americans, but tonight, the Housing Agency is under fire for its own alleged lavish spending. Theres a lot more money in the private sector than there is in the government. Does it mean that the government isnt still going to be a major player, but we just want to make sure we get bang for the taxpayers dollar. Reporter a spokesman says
housing secretary ben carson didnt ask for his staff to spend more than 31,000 on opulent Dining Furniture for his office. Well above the 5,000 limit. Tonight, that order, canceled. Carson is one of six Trump Administration officials under scrutiny for allegedly wasting your taxpayer money, funding trips, first class tickets, even a 30,000 secure phone booth for an office. Just weeks ago, a scathing report found Veterans Affairs secretary David Shulkin misled ethics officials and cost taxpayers 122,000 on a european tour. In july, shulkin and his wife traveled to copenhagen and london. 3 1 2 days were spent in official meetings. The rest of the tenday trip, mostlysightseeing. They even went to wimbledon. I went and i did not lock myself in the hotel room. I went out and i went to various historic and other sites. Every penny of that was paid for
by me. Reporter investigators say shulkin and his wife treated one v. A. Staffer as a personal travel kons rarj. Then, theres treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin who took this costly government jet to kentucky, where he and his wife viewed the eclipse. The head of the epa, scott pruitt, has been criticized for his frequent first class travel. But tonight, he says, from now on, hell be flying back in coach. As for secretary shulkin, he has since paid back the government the cost of his wifes travel and those wimbledon tickets. David . Mary bruce, youll stay on it.
