President Donald Trump is "proud" of his son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner for being transparent about his interaction with Russians and lay out everything clear to expose the "witch hunt" that the probe has been, a White House official has said.
"The President was very proud of Jared for voluntarily going to the Hill and being very transparent with every interaction that he's had," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters onboard the Air Force One with the president on Monday.
Her remarks came hours after Kushner met the Senate Intelligence Committee staff went to the Capitol Hill to meet investigators of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to respond to their questions on his interaction with foreign governments, particularly the Russians.
"He (Trump) thought Jared did a great job and was very glad that he was able to go through that process and lay everything out and I think show the members of that committee, as well as everybody else, what a witch hunt and hoax this whole thing is," she said.
Sander said that they will continue pushing forward and focus on things the American people actually care about and Russia is not one of them.
