Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has reportedly been identified as a “person of interest” in the ongoing investigation into possible ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign.

The Washington Post said a senior adviser to Mr Trump was among people investigators wanted to speak to. A New York magazine reporter then said the person in question was Mr Kushner, 36, who is married to Mr Trump’s eldest daughter and who flew out of Washington on Friday night to accompany the President on his first official foreign trip.

The Post said the person under investigation was close to the President, but did not identify them. However, the number of people who fit such a profile would be very small.

Yashar Ali, a contributor to New York magazine said on Twitter: “It’s Jared Kushner. Have confirmed this with four people. I’m not speculating.”

1. Why not Ivanka too? She vacationed w/ Putin's girlfriend

During Trumpy's campaign.

14. I have a theory that Ivanka is the bag woman for "the family."

She seems to slip off to weird Trump hotel sites in highly corrupt countries with some frequency, and meeting up with Putin's current and Murdoch's ex honeybunch. Jared is most likely the person of Interest today, but Ivanka is a conspirator. Of course, that's just imho.

2. It's a family affair.....

3. I would more impressed with the story if it was about him being charged as being

a person of interest doesnt mean to much.

4. If they described him as a target I'd be even happier.

"Person of interest" doesn't have a specific legal meaning. "Subject" means someone they are looking at carefully with the possibility that he might have committed a crime. A "target" is someone who's already in their crosshairs and they're seeking an indictment.

[LovingA2andMI]

13. There has been PLENTY of....

Speculation before in LBN. Plenty. And not from a formal news resource either (more like bloggers).

[librechik]

15. at least 18 unreported contacts with Russia. I should hope under investigation!

kind of tragic, really. I bet he wishes he never got involved with the Trumps.

16. What is it with the number 18?

[Midnight Writer]

18. I think it is related to 42.

[Demtexan]

17. The couple would throw daddy and daddy-in-law under the bus.

That family has no honor or shame.

22. In Jared's favor, he'd still look like a GQ model in an orange jumpsuit.
