“Kushner’s security clearance should be suspended until the FBI’s findings are complete.” 
 
 NBC News on Thursday reported that Kushner has come under scrutiny in the FBI’s investigation of possible collusion between Russia and President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. The FBI’s focus on Kushner does not mean he is suspected of a crime or considered a subject of the bureau’s wider probe of Russian election meddling last year. The news comes a week after reports that the law enforcement investigation of Russian election intrusions had identified a current White House official as a person of interest, though the person’s identity was not revealed. “He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry” 
 
 The Washington Post on Thursday reported that investigators are instead examining Kushner’s meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and a Russian banking executive late last year. Related: Flynn, Manafort Are Key Figures in Russia Probe That Mueller Will Lead 
 
 “Mr. The statement from attorney Jamie Gorelick was issued amid reports that the FBI was investigating meetings Kushner had in December with Russian officials. He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry," the statement said. Mr Kushner, a real estate developer who is married to the president's eldest daughter Ivanka Trump, has not been accused of committing any crimes.
– Jared Kushner will be cooperating with any probe of Russian links to his father-in-law's campaign, a lawyer confirmed Thursday after reports that investigators are focusing on the senior White House adviser surfaced. Attorney Jamie Gorelick said Kushner has already offered to tell Congress all about his meetings with Russian officials and he will do the same "if contacted in connection with any other inquiry." Sources tell the Wall Street Journal that federal investigators have been looking into Kushner's Russian contacts for months, though he has not yet been contacted by the FBI. In other coverage: Sources tell NBC News that investigators believe Kushner has information that could be very useful to the Russia investigation, though he's not personally suspected of wrongdoing. Kushner met Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian banker Sergey Gorkov last year. Democrats are calling for Kushner's White House security clearance to be pulled, the Hill reports. "The FBI's Russia investigation reached Trump's backyard, and now it's in his house," DNC Deputy Communications Director Adrienne Watson said in a statement. "Kushner's security clearance should be suspended until the FBI's findings are complete." Investigators are also looking into possible financial crimes, according to the Telegraph, though the Justice Department isn't providing details. "I can't confirm or deny the existence or non-existence of investigations or subjects of investigations," spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores said. While much is still unclear, there will be plenty of people saying "I told you so" if corruption allegations involving Kushner surface, according to Aaron Blake at the Washington Post. Trump's hiring of a family member for a senior White House role was strongly criticized, and "as any expert on corrupt authoritarian regimes throughout history will tell you, those regimes' wrongdoing will often run through family members with official titles," he writes. In a separate development linked to the Russia investigation, House Oversight Committee chief Rep. Jason Chaffetz said he wants to review former FBI Director James Comey's contacts with the White House and Justice Department going all the way back to 2013, the AP reports. He told acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe that he wants to "better understand" Comey's interactions with the White House. Chaffetz announced his surprise resignation last week, and Republicans are pushing to have him replaced by somebody who will be in office for longer.
