Russia investigation sheds new light on Jared Kushner's involvement with Moscow

WASHINGTON - The expanding federal investigation into Russian interference in last year's election is shining new light on the central role played by one member of Donald Trump's inner circle - his son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner - in reaching out to Moscow.

The latest disclosure - that even before Trump took office Kushner directed campaign foreign policy adviser Michael T. Flynn to try to persuade Russia to quash a United Nations resolution - is one example of numerous Kushner contacts with Moscow and meetings with Russian intermediaries now under scrutiny by investigators for special counsel Robert Mueller.

Kushner, a former Manhattan real estate developer and Washington neophyte, may be key as Mueller pursues the mystery of whether Trump's campaign had improper dealings with Russia, a charge that Kushner denies.

Revelations about Kushner's Russia contacts have been dribbling out for the months, forcing Kushner and other Trump aides who denied or downplayed them to repeatedly backtrack.
