Standing behind a White House logo outside the West Wing, he said "I did not collude with Russia," adding "I do not know of anyone else" on the campaign who did so. His comments outside the White House were similar to an 11-page statement released ahead of his closed-door interview with Senate intelligence committee staff. In that document, Kushner offered his first public accounting of what he says are his four meetings with Russians during the 2016 campaign and transition, offering previously undisclosed details of those meetings.
