FBI investigates Donald Trump's son-in-law over Russia links

Donald Trump's son-in- law is under investigation over the "extent and nature" of his dealings with Russian officials, US media is reporting.

Jared Kushner is being scrutinised by the FBI as part of the investigation into possible ties between the President's election campaign and Russia.

The Washington Post says the investigation centres around meetings Mr Kushner had with the Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak and Moscow banker Sergei Gorkov.

Mr Gorkov is the chairman of VneshEconomBank - a state bank which has been under US sanctions since 2014.

In a statement provided to Sky News, Mr Kushner's attorney Jamie Gorelick said: "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."
