WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s son-in-law is back on Capitol Hill, this time speaking to interns as part of the Congressional Intern Lecture Series.

Jared Kushner arrived shortly before 3 p.m. on Monday and ignored shouted questions from reporters about the abrupt firing of Anthony Scaramucci from his White House communications post.

Kushner’s event with the interns was closed to the media.

Last week, Kushner met privately at the Capitol with members of the Senate and House intelligence committees. He acknowledged four meetings with Russians during and after Trump’s victorious White House bid and insisted he had “nothing to hide.”

Kushner, who is also an adviser to the president, said: “All of my actions were proper.”

  1. What the hell would anyone else ask him?

  2. I would like to learn how to fail upward so spectacularly. He is by all reports a blithering idiot, and yet…

  3. That that smarmy little bastard would be allowed to talk to them without being under oath is about as galling as it gets.

    Being born into a wealthy family is always a good start.

  4. Well, if you can’t get Kushner to teach it to you, perhaps Chiselin’ Trump will.

  5. “All of my actions were proper . . . including the many, many actions you’ll never hear about.”
