:stop Russia probe turns spotlight on Kushner



Kush won't be smiling now!



(CNN)The FBI's criminal probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election is increasingly touching on the multiple roles of senior White House adviser Jared Kushner on both the Trump campaign and the Trump transition team.

Points of focus that pertain to Kushner include: the Trump campaign's 2016 data analytics operation; his relationship with former national security adviser Michael Flynn; and Kushner's own contacts with Russians, according to US officials briefed on the probe.
There is no indication Kushner is currently a target of the probe and there are no allegations he committed any wrongdoing.

It's not clear if the FBI plans to talk to Kushner, but investigators believe he would be able to help provide information to assist the probe.
When CNN contacted a Kushner spokesman on Tuesday, the spokesman said Kushner was unaware of the FBI's interest in him and hasn't been contacted. NBC News and the Washington Post reported Thursday on the FBI's interest in Kushner. Kushner's attorney said her client is willing to talk to the FBI if asked.
"Mr. Kushner previously volunteered to share with Congress what he knows about these meetings. He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry," said Jamie Gorelick, his attorney.
The FBI has collected data on computer bots, programs that perform repetitive functions like searches, allegedly linked to Russia that helped target and push negative information on Hillary Clinton and positive information on Donald Trump through Facebook and other social media, the officials say.
