WASHINGTON —President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and now top White House adviser Jared Kushner proposed a secret back channel between the Kremlin and the Trump transition team during a December meeting with a leading Russian diplomat. The newspaper cited anonymous U.S. officials who were briefed on intelligence reports on intercepted Russian communications. Ivanka Trump and Kushner have complained privately about what Kushner views as an unfair level of scrutiny of his actions. Investigators are also interested in a meeting Kushner had with the Russian banker, Sergey Gorkov, according to reports from The Post and NBC News. Kushner previously volunteered to share with Congress what he knows about these meetings,” Gorelick said in a statement Thursday.
