Trump's son-in-law to be questioned over Russia ties

Washington, March 27: US Sete investigators plan to question US President Dold Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner as part of their broad inquiry into ties between Trump associates and Russian officials or others linked to the Kremlin, officials here said. The White House Counsel’s Office was informed that the Sete Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, wanted to question Kushner about meetings he arranged with Russian Ambassador Sergey I. Kislyak, according to the government officials. The meetings included a previously unreported sit-down with the head of Russia’s state-owned development bank, reported the New York Times on Monday. Till now, the White House had acknowledged only an early December meeting between Kislyak and Kushner, which occurred at Trump Tower and was also attended by former tiol Security Adviser Michael T. Flynn. Later that month, though, Kislyak requested a second meeting, which Kushner asked a deputy to attend in his stead, officials said. (IANS)
