FBI調查庫什納與俄羅斯關係

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into connections between Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Russia, in a sign that the probe into contacts between Trump campaign aides and Russian officials has moved closer to the White House.

美國聯邦調查局(FBI)正在調查唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)女婿賈裏德?庫什納(Jared Kushner)與俄羅斯的關係，這一跡象表明，對特朗普競選助手與俄羅斯官員之間關係的調查已進一步逼近白宮。

One person familiar with the mood inside the White House said there was “shock” that the FBI probe had reached Mr Kushner, the scion of a property empire who is married to Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter. He is the only White House official known to be under FBI scrutiny amid an investigation that started last summer.

一位熟悉白宮內部氣氛的人士表示，FBI已經查到庫什納身上令人“震驚”；出身地產豪門的庫什納（上圖左）娶了特朗普總統的女兒伊萬卡?特朗普(Ivanka Trump，上圖右)。在這項始於去年夏天的調查中，庫什納是已知唯一受到FBI調查的白宮官員。

Mr Kushner has come under scrutiny because of two meetings in December. The first was with Sergei Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to Washington, while the other was with Sergei Gorkov, a Russian who heads Vnesheconombank, a state-owned lender under US sanctions.

庫什納是因爲去年12月的兩次會面被調查的。第一次是與俄駐美大使謝爾蓋?基斯利亞克(Sergei Kislyak)，而另一次是與遭到美國製裁的俄羅斯國有開發銀行(Vnesheconombank)行長、俄羅斯人謝爾蓋?戈爾科夫(Sergei Gorkov)。

A White House spokesperson for Mr Kushner declined to comment on the FBI investigation. But Jamie Gorelick, a former deputy attorney-general who is representing Mr Kushner, said he was willing to discuss the meetings with congressional or federal investigators.

庫什納的白宮發言人拒絕就FBI的調查發表評論。但代表庫什納的司法部前副部長傑米?戈雷利克(Jamie Gorelick)稱，庫什納願意與國會或FBI調查人員詳述這兩次會面。

“Mr Kushner previously volunteered to share with Congress what he knows about these meetings,” said Ms Gorelick. “He will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry.”

“庫什納先生此前就主動提出，要與國會分享他了解的這些會面的情況，”戈雷利克說，“如果被牽涉進其他任何調查，他也會這樣做。”

One White House official said talk about shock was exaggerated because many aides expected that Mr Kushner would become tangled in the investigation.

一名白宮官員表示，“震驚”的說法有些誇大，因爲許多助手已經預料到庫什納將被捲入調查。

“He’s a novice involved in too many activities to truly be careful with (what) he does and doesn’t do,” said the official.

這名官員稱：“他是一名新手，參加了太多活動，以至於無法真正謹慎辨別哪些該參加，哪些不該參加。”
