Jared Kushner is now a focus in the Russia probe: report

President Trump’s son-in-law and top aide Jared Kushner has now become a focus in the Russia investigation, a report says.

Sources told the Washington Post that the 36-year-old White House adviser has come under FBI scrutiny, though it’s unclear what made him a person of interest.

Kushner has conversed with at least two Russians in the past — Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and 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.

The feds are expected to treat the Kushner aspect of the investigation differently than Trump aides Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn, who are considered to be formal subjects of the inquiry.

They reportedly are focusing on Kushner’s meetings with Kislyak and Gorkov and the nature of their conversations, as well as earlier exchanges with the Russians back in the spring of 2016.

But the sources insist that Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, is neither a target nor the central focus of the Russia probe.

He previously has claimed he would be willing to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee to clear his name.

“Mr. Kushner previously volunteered to share with Congress what he knows about these meetings,” Kushner’s lawyer, Jamie Gorelick, explained in a statement. “He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry.”

In response to Kushner coming under scrutiny, a Justice Department spokeswoman said: “I can’t confirm or deny the existence or non-existence of investigations or subjects of investigations.”

The former real estate developer reportedly met with Kislyak in early December in New York, and then sent a deputy to speak with him again at a later date. Flynn was said to be present at the first meeting, which Kushner apparently failed to disclose on a security clearance form.

According to the Post, he spoke to Kislyak over the phone later that month and discussed US-imposed sanctions against Russia.

Flynn’s removal from the White House ultimately came after he downplayed the conversation and failed to report the meeting.

Kushner also reportedly met with Gorkov in December as well.

The Russian’s bank, Vnesheconombank, was slapped with US sanctions in 2014 following the country’s annexation of Crimea and support of separatists in eastern Ukraine.

At least one of the earlier meetings that Kushner was said to have conducted with the Russians unfolded at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, the Post reports.

He had been joined by Kislyak and current Attorney General Jeff Sessions at an event in which President Trump vowed to boost relations with Russia.

The FBI’s probe of the Russians’ alleged involvement in the 2016 election is now being led by former agency Director Robert S. Mueller III, who was appointed following the controversial removal of James Comey.
