counsel jack smith s january 6th investigation. the new york times reports that jared kushner, donald trump s son-in-law and a former senior adviser, is among those who met with federal prosecutors in recent weeks. the times reports that kushner was specifically asked if trump had privately acknowledged that he lost the 2020 election. we re also learning smith s team is pushing back on trump s efforts to delay his trial in the classified documents case until after the 2024 election. let s bring in former u.s. attorney and senior fbi official chuck rosenberg. i want to get to the classified documents case in a moment, but first on kushner s meeting with prosecutors, chuck, what do they want to know from kushner, and why is zeroing in on whether trump privately acknowledged losing, why is that so crucial in a legal case? well, sure. great questions, lindsey. so if you want to know what someone knows, you can listen to what they say but with mr. trump, of course, that s proved unrelia
