Jared Kushner, adviser and son-in-law to President Trump, will meet with staffers from the Senate Intelligence Committee next week, Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, confirmed on Thursday.
Earlier NBC News reported that the meeting would take place this month, hours after former FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate intelligence panel about his private conversations with Trump.
An unnamed person familiar with the matter later told NBC News that Kushner has agreed to meet with the panel, but that talks are still being conducted over when that might be.
Kushner has been the subject of controversy in recent weeks after one report claimed he offered in December to set up a secret back channel between the Trump transition team and the Kremlin and another report about how he may have had several undisclosed communications with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak during and after the campaign.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is conducting one of a handful of congressional and federal probes into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
