WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, made a pre-inauguration proposal to the Russian ambassador to set up a secret, bug-proof communications line with the Kremlin, The Washington Post reported Friday evening. The White House did not immediately comment on the Post report. It raises a lot of questions,” Jim Himes, a Connecticut Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told MSNBC. And the White House staff itself could be facing upheaval. The Senate and House Intelligence Committees also are investigating, but not with an eye to bringing criminal charges.
