A friend of Jared Kushner developed a “reconciliation plan” for the U.S. and Russia with a Vladimir Putin deputy and gave it to President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, who circulated it to other top Trump officials.
Kushner, a senior adviser to the president, received a copy of the proposal after the 2016 election and gave it to Trump’s chief strategist at the time, Stephen Bannon, and incoming Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Special Counsel Robert Mueller said. The episode hasn’t been previously reported.
