he hasn t been charged with anything yet. but it would be standard procedure, and a special counsel investigation, to look into any financial here s what jared kushner s lawyer is saying in a statement tonight. we do not know what this report refers to. it could be standard practice for the special counsel to examine financial records to look for anything related to russia. mr. kushner previously volunteered to share with congress what he knows about russia related matters. he will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry. what s your reaction to that? it may turn up nothing. but this is part and parcel of this long drawn-out investigation that we re in for. the idea that any one of these little new additions of information is going to be the body blow that, you know, unravels this whole mystery or takes down the administration, that s not going to happen. on the other hand, the idea that any one of these stories on its own is going to vindicate ku ....
