Jared Kushner Finances Are Under Investigation By Special Counsel
Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner is being investigated by the Special Counsel.
According to a bombshell new report by the Washington Post, “Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller is investigating the finances and business dealings of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, and adviser, as part of the probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to officials familiar with the matter.”
In addition to Kushner’s finances, the FBI is also looking at the business dealings of several other Trump associates including Flynn, Manafort and Carter Page.
It was previously revealed that Kushner’s meeting with Russians was under investigation by the FBI. The new revelation that investigators are also probing Kushner’s finances raises the stakes dramatically.
The federal investigation has ramped up dramatically since Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Comey testified before Congress last week that Trump pushed him to drop the FBI’s investigation of Michael Flynn.
It was revealed Wednesday that Donald Trump is under criminal investigation for obstruction of justice by the special counsel.
