Jared Kushner Responds (Very Briefly) to Flynn's Plea Deal
His reaction challenged the U.S. political norm of “one president at a time.”
When Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and all-purpose aide, made a rare public appearance on Sunday in Washington, D.C., it didn’t take long for the investigations engulfing the White House to come up.
Two days earlier,Trump’s former national-security adviser, Michael Flynn, had to making false statements to federal investigators about his conversations with formerRussian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition, including one in which he urged Russia to delay or vote against a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The plea-deal documents indicated that this senior transition official was Jared Kushner.
