President Trump on Tuesday praised Jared Kushner after the senior White House aide denied any collusion with Russia.
Trump in an early morning tweet also mocked the Russia ‘witch hunters’ and referenced that his underaged 11-year-old son, Barron Trump could be next to be invited for interrogation.
“Jared Kushner did very well yesterday in proving he did not collude with the Russians. Witch Hunt,” Trump tweeted.
“Next up, 11 year old Barron Trump!”

Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, on Monday had an interview behind closed doors with Senate staffers investigating the Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race.
Kushner said after that meeting that all of his actions in the 2016 campaign were proper and he did not collude with Russia.
“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 in a very unique campaign,” Kushner said outside the White House.
“Let me very clear: I did not collude with Russia nor do I know of anyone else in the campaign who did so.”
Trump has in the past criticized the Russia investigation, calling it a witch hunt and an excuse by Democrats for losing the presidential race. Trump and his top aides have also repeatedly denied collusion.
