Story highlights Kushner offers his first public accounting of what he says are his four meetings with Russians during the 2016 campaign and transition

Kushner also seeks to distance himself from the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner released a statement Monday morning to the Hill intelligence committees about his contacts with Russians during the presidential campaign and transition.

Kushner denied any collusion with the Russian government, which was engaged throughout 2016 in a campaign of its own to interfere in the election and help Trump beat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
