testify within the next hour. jarrod kushner due to arrive on capitol hill. manu, day two for jarrod kushner. reporter: day two and probably a more contentious day. he met with senate staff yesterday on the senate intelligence committee. this time meeting with members of the house intelligence committee. so expect the democrats on the committee to kind of go after him. a lot do not believe he s been forthcoming. the a lot raising concerns publicly about the statement he put out yesterday saying there are holes in h the statement. democrats right now on the committee are sitting down for a private strategy session before this classified hearing takes place in just under an hour. already, you re hearing some democrats from the top democrats on the top, saying this session will not be enough for jarrod kushner. they say just a couple of hours will not be able to get through
else. you said to our colleague we are far past collusion, both can t be right. make the case. so i would ask mr. kushner how it is he can even look the american public in the eye and maintain that there s been no collusion when he met with the russian government lawyer, met with a russian money launderer. ceo having been a graduate of in effect their kgb school. he in fact had not one, two, three but four meetings with russian officials. failed according to open sources to acknowledge that in his first standard form 86 congressman any good poppy. tell you that meeting as many as they are and as questionable as they may be do not collusion make outthe evidence have you even something? did he leave them off his standard form 86, poppy?
why do you think congress will act swiftly, as you put it? congress didn t act particularly swiftly when the president fired james comey. no, they didn t at all, john. that s a really good point. but i think especially on today, which is essentially in the broader couldn t text kind of a good news day. we re having mr. kushner into the committee on intelligence around when you actually think about how much more we know today than we did six months ago, we have made slow, but steady progress and when you think about the fact that the house today, on the suspension calendar is going to overwhelmingly enact and increase sanctions on russia, we re making progress. congress will respond eventually. not as quickly as the american public would like i think, not as quickly as i would like. but we will do it and we will continue to do it. so as you heard jarrod kushner in the rose garden said i did not collude nor did anyone

all the questions. they expect him to come back. i just had a chance to ask that question to mike conway, the top republican running this russian investigation. he said to me i m not going to talk about any of the timing and witnesses, declining to comment about whether or not jarrod kushner would have to come bang. the we ll see what others will say. the republican chairman of the committee who stepped aid side, i just saw him walk past here. a lot of questions about whether he participates in the session as well. that s interesting. interesting point. stay there. we ll see if kushner answers the questions today. senator john mccain doing what only really someone a as brave as he can do. returning to the senate for this health care voteless than a week after he was diagnosed with brain cancer. what did you do before this morning. the president he was busy. wild statements about his attorney general, acting director of the fbi, even his own son, baron, what is going
