Trump's son-in-law Kushner under pressure over Russia scandal

In the scandal over President Trump's eldest son meeting with a Russian lawyer, Trump's eldest son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is also under pressure.

Kushner is the husband of Mr Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka.

Democrats responded in unison, calling for Jared Kushner to be placed under security suspicion.

New revelations show that Kushner was present at the meeting between Mr. Trump's son and the Russian female lawyer.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi tweeted on July 13 that Kushner's security clearance should be revoked immediately.

Even some Republicans believe Kushner should not remain in the West Wing of the White House.

“If the president removes his children from White House positions, it is for the president’s own good,” Texas Congressman Bill Flores said on television on July 13.

Kushner is one of Mr Trump's closest advisers.

In emails from June 2016, Donald Trump Jr. eagerly met with a Russian lawyer and invited Kushner to go along.

Kushner filed a security clearance form, coded SF-86, in which he initially omitted details of the meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. The meeting only came to light after Kushner filed a revised SF-86.

Attorney Veselnitskaya confirmed to CNN and MSNBC that Kushner attended the meeting but was only there for 7-10 minutes and that she never intended to give damaging information about Clinton.

However, even before the Veselnitskaya case, other meetings between Kushner and Russian officials were also being kept in mind./.
