the washington post reported that investigators had identified a current white house official as a, quote, significant person of interest. then on monday, the post reported that trump had asked senior intelligence officials back in march to push back publicly against comey s comments on the investigation. on tuesday, former cia director john brennan testified that he saw intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between russian officials and trump campaign associates that warranted further investigation. then yesterday, nbc broke the news that jared kushner, that of course the president s son-in-law, was under fbi scrutiny according to nbc, quote, investigators believe kushner has significant information relevant to their inquiry. that does not mean they suspect him of a crime or intend to charge him. today, nbc s peter alexander reporting that the white house is preparing for a new reality when it comes to dealing with this widening investigation. officials are setting up
