Exclusive: Mueller's interest in Kushner grows to include foreign financing efforts

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller's interest in Jared Kushner has expanded beyond his contacts with Russia and now includes his efforts to secure financing for his company from foreign investors during the presidential transition, according to people familiar with the inquiry.

This is the first indication that Mueller is exploring Kushner's discussions with potential non-Russian foreign investors, including in China.

US officials briefed on the probe had told CNN in May that points of focus related to Kushner, the White House senior adviser and son-in-law of President Donald Trump, included the Trump campaign's 2016 data analytics operation, his relationship with former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and Kushner's own contacts with Russians.

Mueller's investigators have been asking questions, including during interviews in January and February, about Kushner's conversations during the transition to shore up financing for 666 Fifth Avenue, a Kushner Companies-backed New York City office building reeling from financial troubles, according to people familiar with the special counsel investigation.

There is no doubt that Trump knows this information some time before the rest of us.

Trump seems unsettled and crazier than usual, even for him.

Just look at what he left off his security clearance application. He didn't just forget, you know. He left those things off because they are illegal or lead to something illegal.

My o MY..!!! what will become of him?............we will see, looks like soon, within the next month or so...

And when he is pardoned, that could be the end of Trump..Why? when Kush gets indicted, the proof will be so obvious for all to see that his pardon will look more ridiculous than anyone could imagine. Now, we think Trump looks ridiculous now, but when the pardon hits the fan, it will amaze even some supporters. Why? The Kush...will look by all who look....oh so guilty...guilty as charged...

were related to that. Where after being stiffed by Qatar for a loan, he and Drumpf manufactured a storyline to create a diplomatic spat against Qatar as payback, and got the rest of the Arab countries in the vicinity to go along.

This morning I read that the IRS is asking for his and IVANKA's (yeah!) financial dealings going back years.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=10257868 666 666
Now Mueller is investigating his finances in China on top of his other foreign financial dealings. NY AG Schneiderman must also have jurisdiction on his 666 building as well as others. Mueller, IRS, NY...GOODY!
I hope all of their assets get seized as well as jail for life. Double goody...Ivanka is part of this!!!!!
