United States: Jared Kushner Targeted By Russian Investigation

Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of the president, had already been forced to acknowledge in recent months that he had had discussions with Russian officials.

In the United States, the Trump administration is still poisoned by the case of Russia's interference in the last presidential election. For if the intelligence services have repeatedly confirmed this destabilization of Moscow, the question is now whether the entourage of the president was involved in this operation. And Thursday night, May 25, a name returned to the top of the poster, that of Jared Kushner. The 36-year-old is one of Donald Trump's closest advisors, but also his son-in-law.

So it would be he, the very close to the oval office, to which the FBI would be interested.
Last week, the Washington Post revealed that an influential advisor to Donald Trump was in the FBI investigator's eye, but could not give his name. Thursday night, May 25, the name was unveiled by several media: it would be Jared Kushner.

This is not entirely surprising since the president's son-in-law had already been forced to acknowledge in recent months that he had had discussions with Russian officials and that he had not immediately made them public.

Nor is it, for the time being, an absolute scandal, since the sources of information state that the young man is not yet formally suspected, as can be for example General Michael Flynn, ephemeral Advisor To National Security, or Paul Manafort, former campaign director.

But because of his political and family affiliation with Donald Trump, this is a challenge. The FBI believes that Jared Kushner would hold "  important information  ", and would thus be a worthy person on the record.

Ivanka Trump's husband Ivanka Trump, a property developer from a wealthy family, has been entrusted with numerous diplomatic and administrative missions by the White House. On Thursday evening, his lawyers assured him that he was ready to collaborate with the investigators.
