Senate Intelligence Committee Seeks to Interview Jared Kushner on Russia Ties
The Senate Intelligence Committee will question Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner in its investigation of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia and focus on his meetings with the Russian ambassador, the NYT reports:
The meetings included a previously unreported sit-down with the head of Russia’s state-owned development bank.
Until now, the White House had acknowledged only an early December meeting between Mr. Kislyak and Mr. Kushner, which occurred at Trump Tower and was also attended by Michael T. Flynn, who would briefly serve as the national security adviser.
Later that month, though, Mr. Kislyak requested a second meeting, which Mr. Kushner asked a deputy to attend in his stead, officials said. At Mr. Kislyak’s request, Mr. Kushner later met with Sergey N. Gorkov, the chief of Vnesheconombank, which drew sanctions from the Obama administration after President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia annexed Crimea and began meddling in Ukraine.
The White House, of course, is saying that “nothing of consequence was discussed and that they went nowhere.”
Flynn has been out of sight since his resignation. Speculation erupted over the weekend that Flynn had cut a deal with the FBI and had turned against the Trump team.
