isn t to pay off political donors. i think trump attracts people who think they can use government resources for their own gain and they flock to him. as they say, the fish rots from the head. a picture snapped with the attorney general of the united states at the trump hotel in d.c., a place that a lot of people in washington go. foreign government who is want to put people up and put money in the president s pocket and give him business. given today s news that the department of justice did go through this indictment or the 14 other cases, does that make you more confident that a fire wall has been establish and the independence can move forward even though is at the top of the organization? the fact that he is sitting at the top of the organization and continuing to act like he is trump s attorney gives no reassurance that they will prosecute who they need to
this president? solid reporting but what was new? we know since day one donald trump essentially when we think about the trump hotel in d.c., anyone who wanted access to the president stayed at one of his properties. he does not read briefs about policy but he reads his briefs about who is staying in hotels and how often. foreign agents have stayed to curry favor, so unfortunately for me the story as egregious as it was and insulting to the american public as it is, it s not new. this is how people have been engaging with this president and his family and the entire administration since he was sworn in. i want to draw in from david cornyn and his colleagues describing what happened. the overall message seems
his son-in-law think that he is going to somehow pull a rabbit out of a hat and save this nonexistent middle east peace plan is preposterous. that s bad politics, immoral as you said a couple of times, and impractical. it is just not the way the world works, much less the middle east. they have a notion, i hate when i see this, like we re going to buy a bunch of rooms at the trump hotel in d.c., that s like something in the middle east, a little bribe. then they say we ll get the son-in-law, he is like a crown prince and work him, he doesn t know anything about the middle east. whe we ll whisper in his here this nonsense. this guy knows nothing. they have transcripts where they have vetted the guy, he doesn t know anything. there s greater reporting by new york times about how the saudis marked jared kushner a couple of years ago during the trump campaign and said he s the guy, he s going to be our ticket
worked at the president s golf club in new jersey. like a maid from guatemala, who has duties like making the president s bed, cleaning his toilet, since she startled working there in 2013. this is in her interview. i ask myself is it possible that this senor thinks we have papers? he knows we don t speak english. why wouldn t he figure it out? our panel is back. noah, i know some of these things, the president says one thing and does another, right, on some of this stuff and he has a history of this, back to when he built at trump tower using illegal workers, caught during the building of the trump hotel in d.c., and now this. does his credibility matter here? yeah, i see a fair built of hypocrisy here that s evident on just about every side. so, the president now, he spends a lot of time discussing how immigration, particularly
david farenthold who covers the president s businesses and conflicts of interest, and rick stengel, former managing editor of time magazine. gentlemen, good evening to you both. david, what should folks know about the depth and breath dth this president s relationship with saudi arabia and individual saudis? well, the most important thing to know is it goes back a long time and it continues even now. president trump still owns his business even while he s in the white house. his business, while it s taken some losses and done poorly in some areas, the best news for it in the last year or so has been an increase in business from the saudis. you mentioned the trump hotel in d.c., new york, and chicago, all those places report significant spending by saudis. it s not just that he s known them a long time and sold them an apartment 20 years ago. they re pumping money into his businesses right now, which
