Donald Trump's son-in-law and close aide Jared Kushner is to be questioned over ties between the President's campaign and Russia, according to a congressional source.
The US Senate Intelligence Committee wants to interview Mr Kushner as part of its inquiry into ties between Trump associates and Russian officials in the run up to November's presidential election.
Officials are said to be keen to question Mr. Kushner about meetings he arranged with the Russian ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak.
They include a previously unreported sit-down with the head of Russia's state-owned development bank, which has been on a US sanctions list since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
Mr Kushner is married to Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka and works as a senior adviser to the President.
He is to lead a newly formed White House Office of American Innovation aimed at overhauling the federal government and possibly privatising some aspects of it.
Mr Kushner told the Washington Post: "The government should be run like a great American company.
"Our hope is that we can achieve successes and efficiencies for our customers, who are the citizens."
