\nJared Kushner is the target of a quickly moving Russia investigation, new reports claim, a sign that the investigation into Donald Trump\u2019s 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\u2019s alleged ties with Russia.
\u201cThe 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.
\u201cThe 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.\u201d
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.
