US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser —and son-in-law — Jared Kushner has now become the focus of the FBI’s ongoing investigation into Russian collusion in the US presidential election campaign.
Kushner, who is married to the President’s eldest daughter Ivanka, conversed with at least two Russians in the past —Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian banker Sergey Gorkov, both of whom he met last year.
While investigators believe Kushner may have significant information relevant to the Russia probe, officials said it does not mean he is suspected of committing a crime or that they are weighing charges, NBC News reported on Thursday.
Points of focus that pertain to Kushner include the Trump campaign’s 2016 data analytics operation, his relationship with former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Kushner’s own contacts with Russians, US officials briefed on the probe have said.
