Russia funded investments through Kushner associate

Two Russian state institutions with close ties to Vladimir Putin funded substantial investments in Twitter and Facebook through a business associate of Jared Kushner, leaked documents reveal. The investments were made through a Russian technology magnate, Yuri Milner, who also holds a stake in a company co-owned by Donald Trump’s son-in-law. The discovery is likely to stir concerns on Russian influence in US politics and social media’s role in US elections.
