Kushner meets with Senate Intelligence Committee: reports

President Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner interviewed privately with the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, according to multiple news outlets.

Kushner was spotted leaving the committee’s secure facility Thursday. According to CNN and others, Kushner met with the panel behind closed doors as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

His appearance comes as the committee, led by Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), winds down its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Burr has said the committee still needs to interview some witnesses but expects the investigation to come to a close soon.

The chairman last week declined to provide reporters with a specific timeline for the end of the investigation.

Kushner’s reported meeting took place days after Attorney General William Barr told Congress that special counsel Robert Mueller found there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow as part of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Kushner was one of several Trump campaign associates interviewed by Mueller as part of his Russia investigation.

The Senate Intelligence Committee also recently held a private interview with Trump’s former attorney and “fixer” Michael Cohen.
