Jared Kushner’s Finances Examined In Russia Probe | AM Joy

>>> THE RUSSIA-GATE SAGA SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN.
THAT COULD BE BAD NEWS FOR SON-IN-LAW AND UBER ADVISER
JARED KUSHNER. MUELLER IS INVESTIGATING
KUSHNER'S FINANCES AND BUSINESS DEALINGS AS PART OF THE PROBE
INTO RUSSIA'S INTERFERENCE WITH THE 2016 ELECTION.
MUELLER LOOKING INTO POSSIBLE MONEY LAUNDERING BY OTHER TRUMP
ASSOCIATES AS REPORTED BY "NEW YORK TIMES."
THE SUSPICION IS THAT ANY COOPERATION WITH RUSSIAN
OFFICIALS WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE BEEN IN EXCHANGE FOR SOME KIND
OF FINANCIAL PAYOFF AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EFFORT TO
HIDE THE PAYMENTS PROBABLY BY ROUTING THEM THROUGH OFFSHORE
BANKING CENTERS. JOINING ME FORMER WHITE HOUSE
ETHICS LAWYER UNDER GEORGE W. BUSH, SCOTT GORE KIN.
SCOTT, I'LL START WITH YOU, I SHOULD THIS STATEMENT, WE DO NOT
KNOW WHAT THIS REPORT REFERS TO. IT WOULD STANDARD PRACTICE FOR
COUNSEL TO EXAMINE FINANCIAL RECORDS, ANYTHING RELATED TO
RUSSIA. MR. KUSHNER PREVIOUSLY SHARED
WHAT HE KNOWS AND WILL DO THE SAME IF HE'S CONTACTED ABOUT ANY
OTHERS. SPENT TIME LOOKING AT BUSINESS
CONNECTIONS AND RUSSIA. DO YOU THINK THERE'S ANYTHING
HERE? >> I THINK KUSHNER IS LUCKY HE'S
NOT IN JAIL AT THE MOMENT. AS WE DIG IN HERE, WE'RE GOING
TO START TO SEE NOT JUST JARED BUT HIS DAD BE PULLED IN THE MIX
AS WELL. IT'S NOT MAGIC WHERE A KID AT 25
BECOMES A BILLIONAIRE. A LOT OF HIS CONNECTIONS ARE
THROUGH HIS FATHER. IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO WORRY
ABOUT, IT'S GOING TO BE THE COMPLETE FAMILY.
REMEMBER, JARED TRAVELS WITH IVANKA TO DO BUSINESS A LOT OF
TIMES. AS OF NOW, IF I WERE A STAFFER
AND IN HIS POSITION, I WOULD RESIGN, NOT ONLY FOR THE
DISTRACTION BUT FOR THE FACT HE SHOULDN'T BE THERE AT ALL.
HE LIED ON HIS FORMS, BACKGROUND CHECK.
FOR ME, IF I HAD DONE THAT WORKING FOR OBAMA, I WOULD HAVE
BEEN FIRED, LOCKED UP. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT. NOBODY WOULD HAVE ASKED ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT IT FURTHER. HE'S GUILTY OF A CRIME AND
DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AT THE MOMENT.
>> RICHARD PAINTER, THERE WAS AN INTERESTING JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
MEMORIALA, SAYING CAN ACCEPT
PAYMENTS. IF THAT IS THE REASON OUT OF THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THEY WOULD FEEL JARED
KUSHNER WHO DOES HAVE A VERY EXPENSIVE BUILDING, 66 PARK
AVENUE HE'S LOOKING TO REFINANCE, PUT HIM IN A DEEP
DEBT, THAT HE COULDN'T TRY TO MAKE A DEAL WITH A FOREIGN BANK,
FOR INSTANCE, TO TRY TO FINANCE IT.
>> I DO THINK IT'S PREMATURE TO SAY JARED KUSHNER IS GUILTY OF A
CRIME AND BELONGS IN JAIL. BUT IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO
FIND OUT THE FACTS AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH RESPECT TO FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT MONEY AND OTHER FOREIGN MONEY THAT'S GOING INTO
THE TRUMP BUSINESS EMPIRE AND INTO THE KUSHNER BUSINESS
EMPIRE. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS
JUST FLAT-OUT WRONG IN THE ARGUMENT EMOLUMENTS DOES NOT
PERMIT FROM RECEIVING PAYMENTS OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
I'M ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT CASE WITH SOME GOOD LAWYERS, A
GREAT TEAM. WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT
EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS ANY PERSON HOLDING A
POSITION OF TRUST WITH THE UNITED STATES FROM RECEIVING
PROFITS OR BENEFITS AND DEALINGS WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
BOB MUELLER NEEDS TO GET TO THE FACTS HERE IN HIS INVESTIGATION.
I CONTINUE TO BE WORRIED THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS TRYING TO
ORCHESTRATE THE FIRING OF BOB MUELLER.
CONGRESS NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE. YES, IN OUR CASE IN THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WE HAVE ASKED A FEDERAL JUDGE TO FIND
OUT THE FACTS. ONCE WE FIND OUT THE FACTS, WE
CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT PAYMENTS THE PRESIDENESIDENT CAN KEEP, FOR T
KEEP. THE SAME SHOULD BE DONE WITH
RESPECT TO JARED KUSHNER. IF THERE IS ANY CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY, OF COURSE, THOSE WHO ARE DOING IT SHOULD BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE. >> SARAH, THE ISSUE IS WE JUST
HAD A FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE THAT COMES OUT THAT SHOWED DONALD
TRUMP HAS MADE QUITE A BIT OF MONEY SINCE BEING ELECTED
PRESIDENT. HE'S DOING VERY WELL FOR
HIMSELF. HE'S STILL SIGNING DEALS,
GETTING PATENTS PUT THROUGH BY CHINESE GOVERNMENT, DOING HOTEL
AND GOLF DEALS. HE HASN'T SLOWED THAT DOWN AT
ALL. IF THE JUSTICE SEPTEMBER SAID HE
CANNOT VIOLATE EMOLUMENT CLAUSE AND IS CLEAR TO TAKE FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS, WHO WOULD ENFORCE, EVEN IF FOUND OUT HE WAS IN
VIOLATION WHO WOULD ENFORCE IT? >> I'M NOT SURE ANYBODY WOULD
ENFORCE IT. THE ENTIRE PATTERN OF HIS
PRESIDENCY IS HIM BRAZENLY BREAKING LAWS AND NOBODY
ENFORCING IT. SO MANY LAWS REST ON GOOD FAITH,
THAT THE PRESIDENT IS OUT FOR THE PUBLIC, NOT TO MAKE MONEY
OFF THE EXECUTIVE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY.
UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S WHAT HE'S DOING.
WE'RE IN A NEW SITUATION. I THINK WE NEED MORE
DOCUMENTATION. THE DOCUMENTATION YOU REFERRED
TO SHOWS THE MONEY HE MADE, DOESN'T SHOW HIS DEBT, DOESN'T
SHOW HIS TRANSACTIONS. OF COURSE, WE STILL DON'T HAVE
HIS TAX RETURNS. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR
PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION, IF THEY ARE AT ALL,
