川普女婿庫什納成“通俄”調查重點
Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, is being investigated by the FBI in its probe of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, the Washington Post and NBC News reported Thursday.
The FBI's focus on Kushner does not necessarily mean he is suspected of a crime, nor is he considered a subject of the bureau's wider probe of Russia.
Investigators are looking into meetings that Kushner had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and a Russian banking executive late last year during the presidential transition, the Washington Post reported.
The Post reported last week that a senior White House official close to the president was a significant focus of the high stakes investigation, although it did not name Kushner then.
This latest revelation comes two weeks after Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey, who was responsible for overseeing the probe.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein last week appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to oversee the investigation. Separately, at least four congressional committees are conducting their own probes into the matter.
Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion between his campaign and the Kremlin, amid accusations from U.S. intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin orchestrated a sweeping campaign to tilt the vote in the Republican's favor.據華盛頓郵報和美國全國廣播公司(NBC News)星期四報道，美國總統川普的女婿和高級顧問庫什納正成爲聯邦調查局(FBI)就川普競選團隊通俄指控調查的對象。
聯邦調查局盯上庫什納並不一定意味他涉嫌犯罪，也不意味他是FBI對俄羅斯更廣泛調查的對象。
華盛頓郵報的報道稱，調查人員正在調查去年年末川普團隊與奧巴馬政府交接期間，庫什納與俄羅斯駐美大使基斯利亞克以及一位俄羅斯銀行業高管的會晤。
華盛頓郵報上星期曾報道說，白宮一名與川普關係十分密切的高級官員是“通俄”調查的焦點，但並沒有直接點名庫什納。
兩週前，川普突然解除了負責“通俄”調查的聯邦調查局局長科米的職務。
美國司法部副部長羅森斯坦上星期任命前聯邦調查局局長穆勒爲特別檢察官，負責對川普團隊“通俄”指控的調查。與此同時，美國國會的至少四個委員會也正在分別對“通俄”指控進行調查。
川普多次否認他的團隊與克里姆林宮串通。美國的情報指，俄羅斯總統普京策劃了一場干預美國大選的行動，使選情對共和黨有利。
