Bloomberg Law Brief: Kushner's Senate Interview (Audio)

at Savannah Law School. He had a closed door meeting, but he put out a statement, and now he makes a statement before before the cameras which reiterates what he said, so he has his his message out there. Obviously, the fact that he's doing the interview is going to dredge up all the previous reporting and that'll get re recited in the news cycles today. But he's getting to put his spin on and that was really one of the chief benefits of negotiating to a private interview for him

um rather than a public hearing. But on the committee side, they get a lot of benefits out of this. They've now locked him into certain statements and they haven't given up any of their parag have to be able to bring him back under subpoena voluntarily to testify in front of the committee, um and in front of the public. So I think both sides came away um as a legal matter with some benefit to this, and Jared Kushner's media strategies at the center from his side of that

negotiation reno UM. So just in terms of how this will proceed, You've got the Special Council, You've got the committees. Once they get these statements, where where does it go from here? So I would expect that that Mueller's team will be, you know, has already been, you know, giving regular reports to Congress about what they're doing and coordinating with Congress. So this way, there's no um, there's no way in which either of the investigations are undermining the

others so that they can work in concert. I know there have been public reports that have suggested just that. Uh and and frankly, from what I've seen to you know, the congressional committees have been very deferential of Ler and

the investigation that he's doing. So what I would expect is that this interview before Congress, would be before a Congressional committee, would be a piece of evidence that Mueller would use I expect that at some point in the future, Mueller will be potentially, you know, seeking interviews with many others, uh, including Mr Kushner, and it'll be interesting to see if they agree to sit for an interview with him. He

may try to compel testimony before a grand jury. UH, and ultimately that process can can take, you know, many months.
