NEW: President Trump's son-in-law often held talks with Saudi Arabia's crown prince and other foreign government officials without briefing or informing senior US diplomats about his discussions, former Sec. Tillerson told lawmakers in testimony.

at a closed-door hearing with the House Foreign Affairs Committee last month and the transcript was released to NBC News and other media Thursday., said he was sometimes caught off guard by Kushner's talks with foreign officials. In one case, Tillerson said he was dining at a restaurant in Washington when the owner of the restaurant told him Mexico's foreign minister was seated at another table.

"And he was rather shocked to find out that when he started telling me all these things that were news to me, I told him this is the first time I'm hearing of it." "What's your reaction to a meeting of that sort having taken place without your knowledge?" the lawyer asked Tillerson. Tillerson said he was blindsided by President Trump's tweet that praised the blockade on Qatar, and that he and Kushner disagreed about the issue.

Tillerson said Kushner would sometimes organize his travel abroad without consulting the local embassy. He said there wasn't"a real clear understanding of the role, responsibilities, authorities, and whatnot, which made it challenging for everyone, I think, in terms of how to deal with any activities that might be undertaken by others that were not defined within the national security process itself."

Lock him up

Yes he was gone over to make a deal for trump So that they can come back to the United States and control the markets more Like president trump has been doing

What is that young man's background in foreign diplomacy? Are his qualifications just based on being the president's son-in-law? Is that not nepotism at play?

Obama did the same with respect to Iran, Nixon/Kissinger did this with China and Vietnam, etc. Another false “Trump = horrible” presumption, when truth is that this may or may not have been a good effort.

Kushner is a leach of the American people.

Not surprised

Kushner and his 666 New York property creeps me out. He has a Russian demon demeanor. His parents, his monies from Qatar and all the behind the scenes deals he has done needs revealed.

rhonda_harbison Trump family along w/the White House Admin. are Traitors. Traitors not only to America but worldwide! Manipulators of power & knowledge they will still possess well after their W.H. stint is up! Gone are the days of trust. If GOP believes they are protected than they are FOOLS!

Because he is an ignorant KID!

DaggumRoy their gang has skirted laws and rules all their life, so this isn't surprising in the least bit.

He is a big SNEAK!! He’s an underhanded sneak, too! Love to see the law get to him!

Dysfunction at the Highest levels.

Is it like Kerry, Biden, Obama & Pelosi going around the current President and administration to talk with China, Iran, the UK and EU. Fake News & propaganda is the enemy of the people. OANN Liz_Wheeler GrahamLedger FoxNews IngrahamAngle seanhannity TuckerCarlson MAGA

Why is he still in this job? Where is congress?

Propaganda news MSNBC

Do anybody really think Jared is a diplomat or working in the best interest of America, or thatJared is qualified by magic to have high level government responsibilities, or obtaining loans and secret back door channels and meetings are legit. He part of the Trump crime family

Lawless....who will hold these grifters accountable?!?!?!?!?!?

Kushner knows that he can do as he pleases because Trump will justify his every action.

KUSHNER & TRUMP are obviously accepting money from Saudi Arabia for weapons & other things.... They send the money to some shady off-shore account for Trump & Kushner thru Shell companies!! We already know Kushner received 90 million from an unknown sender! CORRUPTION!!!!!

Just that much more reason, to persue how young Jarred obtained his Top Secret Security Clearence, after it had originally been denied ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤬

So what

Boy, Kush sure does like his backdoor channels.....all seems legit and above board?!! Like I said from day one, For Sale sign was firmly planted on the WH lawn, waaay before they took occupancy. And those red state followers are blissfully ignorant to it all. Smh.

I don't doubt this. Kushner is a friggin' dirtball snake and soldier for Boss Trump.

You TDS people need only consider what the Clintons did.

Keep talking, Rex. America WANTS to hear it all!

Good. That’s what we’re paying him for!

With no security clearance. I feel so good about that.

These corrupt kleptocrats don’t do anything to benefit the United States. Everything is done in secret with confiscated notes and obstruction of justice to financially benefit themselves and accomplices. Trump would brag ad nauseam if it wasn’t illegal.

Kushner is a very arrogant punk who thinks he knows more than professional diplomats because he grew up with a false sense of arrogance without real talent or intellect. No wonder Tillerson was pissed off at Kushner.

Kushner should be in Prison.

So what, he can't talk to other officials

And he’s still walking around free as a bird.

He could do it b/c Trump empowered him. Trump could empower him b/c Senators like McConnell chose to ignore them, and not tell Trump that's not right. They all are in this together.

. . ~~~~☆ MAKE'N MONEY $$$

No surprise here. The trump and Kushner family hold themselves above the law. Who is going to stop them?

Trump Grifters, et al, are destroying the US so the Dems just gave them 4.6 BILLION dollars on a pinky swear for the border & vanity wall. The US is screwed & it's painful to watch. Axis are now your Allies. Trump decisions hurt the used-to-be allies. TrumpCrimeFamilyMustGo

And he does it for the money! To hell with the United States!

Just shows how incompetent this whole administration is 😎

Remove Kushner.

I see another investigation coming soon. It’s how the Dems do things these days.

It’s all about back door negotiations putting money in realDonaldTrump and his son-in-laws pocket. But Republicans GOP will cover for Trump. Look at senatemajldr getting millions from the Russians. They are bought and paid for.

DeepStateRatGotPlayed

Yeah. So?

Did he extort millions of USD from Saudi Arabia like Hillary did? You are so politically myopic.

The day Trump and his family leaves the WH should be a national holiday.

maddow Kushner must have all of his security clearances removed as originally planned before Trump interfered! How do we get this done

The whole administration is crooked. Donny has no business putting that label on anyone outside his administration.

LaraLeaTrump He must act base law and regulation. His hidden business with suadis and externism action Mr.bolton is a dam for iran and USA december discuss.iran deal after G20 clear in 7 day. PUSH G20 for union Tariff. All world imported tariff must be Same.

Monnnnnnnney

You would think Kushner and his wife (Ivanka) was the President and first lady( next to Conway being the first lady)

They're running their private empire

They are running side deals & are working off the grid. The rules don't apply to them. Only one small piece of the problem, there is so much more. All about multimillions they think are none of our business.

Since when this idiot represents the USA. His incompetence can ruin the relationship between both countries.

Watch your limbs Kushner talking crown prince SA.Did majority terrorists 9/11 not come from S.Arabia?Al quaida leader Osama Bin Laden also,no,?Stupid question ?Oil, money keeps you going?Human rights,repressing women,executing kids,slashing journalists who cares..right?

Kushner is a spy.

Well, of course, he was negotiating future deals and financing for his real estate company in exchange for selling out our country... why should he tell anyone?

No way to run a government!

You don’t say!

He learned it from trump he was trying to build his own bank account. They love dirty deals.

Lock him up! Along with the rest of the family 😡

Not1933

Son-in-Law not confirmed by Senate ,without security clearance , bypasses State Department to discuss policies with a Foreign Country ? This is just sick

Elviraafterthot American citizens being cheated and sold out by Trump and Kush clown and the whole world looks at us with pity like, “should we tell them?”

When an idiot like that is speaking for the US government.....we are not in a good place !

LOCK THEM UP!

Let’s call it what it is ‘business deals’.

Boo hoo ... poor baby

The sopranos !

Deplorable Americans will re-elect the lunatic POTUS Donald Trump, his corrupt family and his incompetent administration for a second term. Why? The 2020 Dems are failing to connect with GOP voters sitting on the fence. Many are alienated in favor of courting special interests.

Are you surprised

This is all about money making deals for the Kushners and Trumps. Corruption at its finest.

Making business deals

It’s all about the money

So did John Kerry

He's not going to ask for money from the Saudis in exchange for state secrets in front of the US senior diplomats. Duh...🧐

can anyone say corrupt

This administration is deep in bed with Saudi Arabia. Entire Kushner family and tRumps. Remember where the pilots on 9/11 were trained to attack us. 45 doesn't care. Khashoggi death : 45 doesn't care

The Trumpster family is running this country like it is their own Business. wtfock ethics democracyisdead

Have we ever had a White House that DIDN’T structure themselves the way they wanted to increase efficiency? Didn’t the late Bobby Kennedy play a large part in foreign relations even though he was AG? The buck stops at the President. This is just a lame process story.

He was trying to borrow money

TREASON

That’s not good and he shouldn’t be allowed to do that !

According to his FiL, it's none of anyone's business.

And not a single arrest warrant for this clown is seen anywhere
