President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has volunteered to speak to the Senate Intelligence Committee as part of its investigation into Russian meddling in the US election, a White House spokesman said Monday.
"Throughout the campaign and transition, Jared Kushner served as the official primary point of contact with foreign governments and officials," the White House spokesman told CNN in a statement. "Given this role, he has volunteered to speak with Chairman Burr's Committee, but has not yet received confirmation."
The Senate committee sought Kushner, who is a key adviser to the President, as part of its investigation, two sources told CNN Monday. The timing is still being determined, a Senate aide said.
