Trump lawyers wanted Kushner to step down over Russia probe: report
By Brandon Carter - 09/11/17 08:41 PM EDT Several of President Trump’s lawyers advised him earlier this summer that White House adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner should step down from his role over potential legal complications with the ongoing Russia investigation, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Sources familiar with the matter told the Journal that some of Trump’s lawyers were concerned about Kushner, who had several meetings with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign, and brought those concerns to Trump himself.
Press aides to Trump’s legal team allegedly even went so far as to draft a statement explaining why Kushner was leaving the White House.
