Jared Kushner

Jared Kushner may have played a larger role in President Donald Trump‘s associates communications with Russia than previously believed, according to a new report.

A new Bloomberg Opinion article claimed the 37-year-old son-in-law and senior adviser to Trump may have ordered retired General Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, to “contact foreign ambassadors and foreign ministers of countries on the U.N. Security Council,” including Russian government officials. This instruction from Kushner reportedly came before a vote opposing Israeli settlements just days prior to Barack Obama leaving the White House.

This would entail that special counsel Robert Mueller‘s team could next try to potentially charge and produce a guilty plea from Kushner, who has previously insisted multiple timesthat he has no knowledge of any Trump associate’s communications with the Kremlin.
