Grills on Hill for Kushner & Manafort

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S son-inlaw and former campaign manager both had sitdowns with congressional investigators Tuesday.

Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner was questioned by the House Intelligence Committee a day after talking with a Senate committee about his involvement in a June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer, Donald Trump Jr. and former campaign chair Paul Manafort.

Manafort, meanwhile, met with Senate investigators, giving them his recollections of the Trump Tower meeting with the Russian lawyer and handing over contemporaneous notes from the gathering, people familiar with the closed-door interview told The Associated Press.

Manafort met with bipartisan staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee and “answered their questions fully,” his spokesman, Jason Maloni, said.

He was slapped with a subpoena to testify by a different Senate panel later in the day, but it was dropped after he reached an agreement to continue talks with the Senate Judiciary Committee, the AP reported.

As for Kushner’s second day answering questions about the meeting, the House committee’s ranking Democrat, Adam Schiff of California, said the questions touched on “a range of issues the committee had been concerned about.”
