White House press secretary Sean Spicer dodged questions Tuesday afternoon about President Donald Trumps son-in-law, Jared Kushner , and what Trump did or didnt know about Kushners meetings last year with Russian officials.

Mr. Kushners attorney has said that Mr. Kushner has volunteered to share what he knows with Congress about the meetings, Spicer told reporters during the daily press briefing.

The Washington Post and other major outlets reported last week that Kushner and Russian officials discussed the possibility of opening up a secret channel for communications last year. But Spicer argued he could not address those claims because the stories were unconfirmed and based on anonymous sources.

Yet just a few hours before the briefing, Trump himself tweeted out a Fox News story that had no named author and was based on anonymous sources , and that also confirmed such discussions took place.
