Report: Jared Kushner is “Under Scrutiny” by the FBI

Written by SK Ashby

We've seen hints and indications that Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is being investigated, but the first solid reports of it emerged last night.

Multiple outlets confirmed with current and former officials that the FBI is taking a close look at Kushner's dealings with the Russians.

Investigators believe Kushner has significant information relevant to their inquiry, officials said. That does not mean they suspect him of a crime or intend to charge him. [...]

The officials said Kushner is in a different category from former Trump aides Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn, who are formally considered subjects of the investigation. According to the Justice Department's U.S. Attorneys' Manual, "A 'subject' of an investigation is a person whose conduct is within the scope of the grand jury's investigation."

If you believe the key to unraveling what happened during the 2016 election is to follow the money, Jared Kushner is a good start and may even be the end-game.

Kushner knows everything there is to know about Trump's finances and he met with the head of a Russian state bank earlier this year.
