Kushner met with special counsel Mueller in Russia probe: CNN

Former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn was the prime topic of the conversation between Kushner and Mueller’s team, CNN said, citing one of the sources.

Flynn, who resigned in February after misleading Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with a Russian diplomat, is under investigation by Mueller’s team, which is looking into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in last year’s presidential election.

The nature of the questioning was principally to make sure Kushner did not have information that exonerated Flynn, CNN said, citing one source.

Kushner spoke with Mueller’s team for less than 90 minutes, CNN said.

“Mr. Kushner has voluntarily cooperated with all relevant inquiries and will continue to do so,” Abbe Lowell, Kushner’s lawyer, told Reuters.
