Reports: Jared Kushner questioned by Mueller's team about Michael Flynn

Earlier this month, President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner spoke with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team, focusing mainly on former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, people familiar with the meeting told CNN and The Associated Press Wednesday.

Flynn is under investigation by the special counsel, which has been looking into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and any ties between Russian officials and the Trump campaign, and Kushner was called in to see if he has any information that could exonerate Flynn, one source told CNN. The questioning took less than 90 minutes.
