As counter-programming to the Russia narrative consuming the White House, Jared Kushner’s Office of American Innovation has been talking up “Infrastructure Week” and “Workforce Week” to generate some momentum on bipartisan issues that might put some points on the scoreboard for his father-in-law and boss, President Donald Trump. But as the investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia grows—expanding to include an inquiry into Trump for potential obstruction of justice—Kushner is being dragged from his position as a silent power behind the throne into the clamorous, white-hot center of the White House scandal.

Kushner was already a person of interest in the F.B.I. probe. Now, according to The Washington Post, special counsel Robert Mueller is also looking into the Kushner’s business dealings. Before he was a West Wing princeling and senior adviser to his father-in-law, Kushner, 36, ran his family’s real-estate empire, which, as many major real-estate companies do, solicited money from foreign investors. Last month it emerged that Kushner was under scrutiny for his meetings with Russian officials, including Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Sergey Gorkov, the head of a state-owned Russian bank, both held in December during the transition period. It was during his meeting with Gorkov that Kushner reportedly suggested that Trump officials and the Kremlin establish a line of secure communication at a Russian diplomatic facility in the U.S. As the Post notes, the meeting took place as Kushner’s family sought financing for the hulking, debt-laden office building it owns at 666 Fifth Avenue.

Jamie Gorelick, Kushner’s attorney, told the Post in an e-mail that they did not know what the latest report refers to. “It would be standard practice for the Special Counsel to examine financial records to look for anything related to ­Russia. Mr. Kushner previously volunteered to share with Congress what he knows about ­Russia-related matters. He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry.”

The report comes as the investigation closes in on other members of Trump’s innermost circle. On Thursday, the Post reported that Vice President Mike Pence has retained outside counsel to help him weather whatever storm might come his way. Trump’s longtime personal lawyer and business associate, Michael Cohen, has been asked to testify before the House Intelligence Committee in September. And in an indication that the investigation is widening its breadth and scope, members of the transition team were ordered to preserve documents related to the investigation, according to The New York Times.

Kushner, meanwhile, is going on as if it’s business as usual. As clouds looms over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Kushner and his Office of American Innovation will continue their streak of policy-themed weeks, with the upcoming week set to focus on technology.
