Trump’s Son-in-law Under FBI Scrutiny In Russia Probe

Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, is under FBI scrutiny as part of the Russia investigation.

U.S media said investigators believe he has relevant information, but he is not necessarily suspected of a crime.

The FBI is looking into potential Russian meddling in the 2016 election and links with Mr. Trump’s campaign, the BBC reports.

The president denied any collusion in the matter.

Mr. Kushner’s lawyer said his client would co-operate with any inquiry.

President Trump has described the Russia investigations as “the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history.”

U.S intelligence agencies believe Moscow tried to tip the election in favour of the Republican, who beat his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

U.S officials, who were not named, told NBC News that the interest in Mr. Kushner, 36, did not mean the investigators suspected him of a crime or intended to charge him.
