Jared Kushner, President Trump’s Senior Adviser And Son-In-law, Is Now In Closed-Door Senate Questioning On Russia





Washington Post: Kushner arrives at Senate for closed-door questioning on Russia

Jared Kushner, President Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law, walked into Senate offices Monday morning to begin answering questions behind closed doors about his contacts with Russian officials.

In written remarks made public prior to his appearance before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Kushner denies any improper contacts or collusion. The 11-page statement by Kushner details four meetings he had with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign and transition period — including one set up by Donald Trump Jr. with a Russian lawyer.

Kushner defends his interactions with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and other Russian officials as typical contacts in his role as the Trump campaign’s liaison to foreign governments, according to the prepared statement he plans to submit for the record.

Nope, he isn't one of Hillary or Obama's staffers. He'll cooperate fully and answer every question asked of him. No need to plead the 5th when you haven't broken any laws.

Useful to recognize that Kuschner NOT under oath

Yup,

and as Booman notes, in his written statement, Kushner took all the credit for the Mayflower Hotel speech,

Which raises some interesting lines of investigation for Meuller, if true,

"He didn’t detail what possible crimes Chelsea Clinton may have committed, but Chaffetz said it was ridiculous that congressional investigators wanted to speak with Kushner about the foreign contacts and loans he failed to disclose on his security clearance forms.

“They would never, ever, ever do this to the Clintons,” Chaffetz said."
