President Trump’s son-in-law is open to testifying before a Senate panel investigating Russia’s alleged meddling in U.S. elections, according to news reports.
Jared Kushner, who serves as a top adviser to Mr. Trump, has offered to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
“Throughout the campaign and transition, Jared Kushner served as the official primary point of contact with foreign governments and officials,” the White House spokesman said in a statement. “Given this role, he has volunteered to speak with Chairman Burr’s Committee, but has not yet received confirmation.”
The New York Times reported earlier this month that the Senate had hoped to question Mr. Kushner as part of its investigation.
FBI Director James Comey confirmed last week that his agency is probing whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials during the 2016 election.
