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

A wild one. In the last five days weve seen highprofile departures the president stripping his soninlaw of the toplevel security clearance. A white house that may be spinning out of control. Axios reports of the president , quote, his staff at times managed to talk him off the ledge. No more. Tired of the restraints, trump is reveling in ticking off just about every person.

All of this is against a backdrop of an administration that has been, lets say, truth challenged from the very beginning. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period well, thats a lie, period. You think they would have learned by now. But people on Team Trump Just keep getting caught in their own lies. They think they can lie and get away with it. Why . Why wouldnt they . After all, the president does. Remember those controversial big raises for two epa employees, raises the white house opposed . Heres what epa boss scott pruitt told fox news about that last week. I did not know t
