Jared speaks: Kushner says notion of Trump-Russia collusion 'ridicules' Trump supporters

Updated

Jared Kushner offered a brief statement outside the White House after appearing in closed setting before members of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday, stating clearly that he "did not collude with Russia."

"Since the first questions were raised in March, I have been consistent in saying I was eager to share any information I have with the investigating bodies, and I have done so today," Kushner said. "The record and documents I have voluntarily provided will show that all of my actions were proper and occurred in the normal course of events of a very unique campaign."

The public remarks from President Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law come as Trump suffers allegations that his 2016 presidential campaign worked with Russia -- the country U.S. intelligence agencies have said interfered in the election.

"I had no improper contacts. I have not relied on Russian funds for my businesses, and I have been fully transparent in providing all requested information," Kushner continued. "Donald Trump had a better message and ran a smarter campaign, and that is why he won. Suggesting otherwise ridicules those who voted for him."
