Jared Kushner is the target of a quickly moving Russia investigation, new reports claim, a sign that the investigation into Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia is closing in on his inner circle.
Taylor has cited sources deep within the intelligence community to break several other aspects of the Russia investigation, including the existence of grand juries convened in response to the investigation of Trump’s alleged ties with Russia.
“The revelation comes as the investigation also appears to be entering a more overtly active phase, with investigators shifting from work that has remained largely hidden from the public to conducting interviews and using a grand jury to issue subpoenas. The intensity of the probe is expected to accelerate in the coming weeks, the people said.
“The sources emphasized that investigators remain keenly interested in people who previously wielded influence in the Trump campaign and administration but are no longer part of it, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.”
This week, former FBI Director Robert Mueller was named a special counsel for the Russia investigation, which came after growing bipartisan pressure for a special counsel to lead the investigation. His appointment came after Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey and amid reports that Trump had asked Comey to drop the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

“Mr. Kushner, White House officials said, began building ties to members of the Saudi royal family during the transition, ” the report noted. “He was at the table when his father-in-law hosted the deputy crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, at a lunch in the State Dining Room in March. And he offered a strategic overview of the Saudi-American relationship at the meeting this month, according to an agenda obtained by The New York Times.”
