Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It would be one thing if Jared Kushner used his position of the white house to benefit his family real estate business. That would be bad. I mean, thats your standard runofthemill style corruption. Again, really bad. A big deal scandal if true, but also, the kind of thing youve heard about before. Maybe in state or local government. Okay, but it would be another thing entirely if Jared Kushner actually shaped American Foreign policy to punish countries for turning down deals with his business at the expense of u. S. Interest. And that is exactly what special Counsel Robert Mueller is trying to figure out according to a new exclusive from nbc news. Muellers team asked about efforts from the properties focusing on his discussions during the transition with individuals from qatar and turkey as well as russia, china, and the united arab emirates. Kushners company has struggled to refinance its flagship property at 666, im not making that up, 666

Wednesday, october 31st. Happy halloween. I have a princess, a snow leopard, what have you got a mallard duck ingilley suit. Mitch trebitsky. I like it. And tonight, donald trump barnstorming 11 states with six days to go to the pivotal elections. Tonight the president will be in ft. Myers, florida, trying to boost rick scott and ron disantis locked in tight races. It is the president s third visit to florida with one more rally scheduled in pensacola over the weekend. Expect to hear plenty at tonights rally about immigration. The president s key focus as he tries to drive Republican Voters to the polls next tuesday. Hes certain to talk about that caravan and the more than 5,000 troops hes sending to the border to stop migrants who are still weeks away. The president is also claiming he will sign an executive order to end automatic citizenship for all children of noncitizens born on u. S. Soil.

U. S. Soil. There are huge constitutional questions about ending birthright citizenship with the stroke of a pen. White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway argued some constitutional scholars believes such an order might be approved by the courts. And she denied the president s move was an effort to whip up his base ahead of the midterms. No because if only the base had voted for him he wouldnt be president. I understand that thats the word of the day, that and fear and some other stuff. But no, its not whipping up the base. Among those who disagree with the president s suggestion, House Speaker paul ryan, who told a radio show it would never pass constitutional muster. You obviously cannot do that. You cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order. We didnt like it when obama tried changing immigration laws, the executive action. Obviously as conservatives we believe in the constitution. You know, the conservative im a believer in following the plain text of the constitution.
