Trump's son-in-law is at the center of the Russia investigation
(Baonghean.vn) - US media reported on May 25 that the activities of President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor to the US leader, Jared Kushner, are under the FBI's investigation as part of the investigation into Russia's interference in last year's presidential election. Mr. Kushner is currently the only White House official considered a key figure in this investigation.

The Washington Post said that while it was unclear whether Mr. Kushner was the focus of the investigation, he was under investigation because of the “extent and nature” of his contacts with Russian officials. The newspaper said Mr. Kushner met with the Russian ambassador to the United States and a banker from Moscow in December.
Meanwhile, NBC News said the FBI is monitoring Mr. Kushner, but stressed that while investigators believe he “has important information relevant to the investigation,” that does not mean they consider him a criminal. The channel also said it is not clear whether Mr. Kushner has received any records requests from the FBI. One of Mr. Kushner’s lawyers, Ms. Jamie Gorelick, confirmed that her client will cooperate with this investigation.
President Trump has repeatedly denied any allegations of collusion between his campaign and the Kremlin./.
