Is looking into a rang of topics with Jared Kushner. There is no indication kushner is currently a target of the probe and no allegation of wrongdoing. The Trump Campaign used to micro target voters in states that were critical to the president s victory. Investigators are examining whether russian operatives were able to piggy bag on that effort with help from Trump Associates to help russias own alleged operation, to push Information Online aimed at helping trump and hurting hillary clinton. Kushner is also one of four Trump Associates and the only Current White House staffer under scrutiny for having contact with sergei kiss llyak. Jared did a job during the transition and the campaign where he was a conduit to leaders. Meetings kushner prematurely left off filed security clearance forms on missions he rectified a day later. The fact he met with a banker, he needs to explain himself. Kushner previously volunteered to share with congress who he knows about these meetings. He will do

well, she was on the end of an e-mail from kushner that was handing off the e-mail from donald trump jr. that was handing off the contact from wikileaks. and so i think what we re learning, just on the surface, john, is that there are an awful lot more people within the campaign who knew about what was going on with regard to wikileaks and, frankly, with some russian surrogates. now, we ll see if that goes beyond stupidity and gets to some criminal level. that s a judgment that director mueller is going to have to make. we also learned that the special counsel wants to interview the publicist who arranged the trump tower meeting between donald trump, jr., jared kushner was there, paul manafort is there. so what gaps could he fill into this? well, look, this is mr. mueller pulling over every rock. and, again, i hesitate here, john, to read too much into this other than just bob mueller
wikileaks. jared kusher forwarded that e-mail on. then jared kushner testified he did not recall whether or not anyone in the campaign had communicated with wikileaks. so what is the kushner camp saying about this tonight? reporter: well, abbe lowell, kushner s attorney, calls this a, quote, classic gotcha question. he says, in part of his statement, in over six hours of voluntary testimony mr. kushner answered all questions put to him and demonstrated that there had been no collusion between the campaign and russia. and lowell, by the way, also disputes the judiciary committee s letter accusing kushner of not turning over documents and he also says that the judicial committee should ask other congressional of committees for the transcripts of kushners interviews with those committees and they should ask the white house for documents that exist after donald trump was inaugurated because they say kushner has no authorization to release those documents. all right. evan perez, thanks
