Christie: Kushner Deserves Scrutiny From Mueller

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Tuesday that President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner “deserves the scrutiny” he’s received from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team in the ongoing Russia probe.

“He deserves the scrutiny. You know why? Because he was involved in the transition and involved in meetings that call into question his role,” Christie said on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House.” 

“If he’s innocent of that, then that will come out as Mueller examines all the facts, and if he’s not, that will come out too," added Christie, a former federal prosecutor.
