clinton thing of how when you see a turtle on a fence post you know it didn t get there by accident. it s the same thing. you don t lose by 3 1/2 million votes and eke out a narrow electoral college victory without some kind of intelligence and a whole bunch of people telling lies that snap together like a jigsaw puzzle without some coordinated intelligence behind it. whether it s donald trump alone or the rest of the trump family or kushners. but collectively, this low-level, low rent, cheesy crime family that i think they are at heart, there is coordination there and an effort that s worked pretty well to get donald trump to a lot place ofs nobody thought he could get. might also include an indictment as president or afterward. let me ask you, frank. i want to get to the questions we know trump has answered. button this part up for us. if you take the list of people, and we re talking about manafort this week because the week started, it feels like 11 weeks ago, mueller ripped up h
they head into the second half of the president s first term, would be best to fill that role. i m going to ask you this because it s getting some attention online, as i guess you would suspect when people start guessing things. any chance that it could be jared kushner, could be ivanka? it s not out of the realm of possibility. kushner, i think, would maybe be less likely because of some of the projects that he s involved in, in washington that are really central to the administration s agenda, both on the mideast but also on trade and some other issues. but ivanka trump is also a name that is getting a lot of attention today. you obviously heard ambassador haley in her remarks today lavishing praise on the kushners and certainly we could see how the president might want his daughter in that very public role at the united nations in new york. josh letterman, kristen welker, craig melvin. guys, and lady, thank you very much for joining us. again, we are live here today at
children. they are incredibly loving parents and grandparents. there s not a day that goes by where they re not speaking to all four of their kids. jared s relationship with his father, in fact with his whole family is one of the warmest and closest relationships i ve ever seen. as the son of holocaust survivors jared kushner felt strongly about judaism and jared and his siblings were raised in a deeply religious home, and also learned about the state of israel, sometimes first-hand. actually slept in jared kushner s bed on a visit to it kushner family home many years ago. american politicians spent time with the kushners as well. he knew all the politician. i can t tell you how many of his friends told me they met bill clinton at his office.
know, donald trump. i know of stories of infidelities on the president s part and also stories on the children. i mean, between the trumps and the kushners, they have more skeletons in the closet than the adams family. gabe sherman, let me turn to you to get a sense of this relationship the president fornlfornl forged with david pecker. we hear about how it was literally stored inside a safe. tell us about what he might have, what the national enquirer might have against donald trump. i mean, if we had the code to that safe, i d to get in there. you know, this is a relationship that goes back years. i reported during the 2016 campaign that donald trump aides were giving material to the enquirer to publish. one specific piece of reporting i cited was ben carson s mal
jared kushner, people in donald trump s family? yes, lawrence. the entire trump-kushner clan have been protected, you know, for years by david pecker at american media. and in what ways? i mean, when did jared kushner or the kushners become of interest to the national enquirer so that there would be something to protect? well, i mean, donald trump has always been a high profile businessman and has, you know, been presidential timber for many years. so by virtue of that, he and his family, besides their individual accomplishments are also under the scrutiny of the american public. stthere is a report indicati that the safe was emptied after donald trump won the
