The two years of investigations and speculation about Russian interference in U.S. elections and supposed collusion with President Donald Trump has hurt the country more than what the Russians actually did, said Jared Kushner, senior White House adviser and the president’s son-in-law.
“Quite frankly, the whole thing is just a big distraction for the country,” Kushner said on April 23. “You look at what Russia did, buying some Facebook ads to try to sow dissent and do it and it’s a terrible thing, but I think the investigations and all the speculation that’s happened for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy than a couple of Facebook ads.”
