Trump's son-in-law at the center of 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 investigation by the FBI, 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 not clear 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 Post said Mr Kushner met with the Russian ambassador to the US and a banker from Moscow in December.

Meanwhile, NBC News said the FBI was 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 the investigation.

President Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion between his campaign and the Kremlin./.
