Jared Kushner's team turned over documents to special counsel in Russia investigation

Source: CNN

Jared Kushner has turned over documents in recent weeks to special counsel Robert Mueller as investigators have begun asking in witness interviews about Kushner's role in the firing of FBI Director James Comey, CNN has learned.

Mueller's investigators have expressed interest in Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and a White House senior adviser, as part of its probe into Russian meddling, including potential obstruction of justice in Comey's firing, sources familiar with the matter said....

Two separate sources told CNN that investigators have asked other witnesses about Kushner's role in firing Comey. Investigators have also asked about how a statement was issued in the name of Donald Trump Jr. regarding a Trump Tower meeting and about the circumstances surrounding the departures of other White House aides, according to one source. Kushner attended the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between top Trump campaign officials and a cadre of Russian figures, including some with links to the Kremlin. It was arranged after Trump Jr. was told that the Russian government wanted to pass along damaging information about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton as part of its pro-Trump efforts. The meeting was also attended by Paul Manafort, who was Trump's campaign chairman.

Not a good time to have the moron put you on his shit list regardless of how they are related. CNN is covering this now. Mueller is looking at Jared and "obstruction of justice" in firing Comey.

If I were him, I'd be crapping myself.

Mr. Kushner, you're just not as smart as you look.

He'll take one for the team. Because looking at the big picture he's still going to inherit big bucks later, so what's a few years in jail? If he talks, Ivanka will dump him and he gets nothing. But I could be wrong, apparently he took it pretty hard when his own dad went to jail. The cost of his lawyers are going to set him back, that's for sure.
