Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is among several witnesses to testify before a grand jury in recent weeks about the former president’s efforts to subvert the 2020 election, the New York Times reported Thursday, which sources cited.
Testifying in a federal courthouse in Washington last month, Kushner, a former White House adviser to Trump, said his impression was that Trump truly believed the 2020 election was stolen, the Times reported, citing a person who spoke about this matter.
Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed by US Attorney General Merrick Garland in November to take over two Justice Department investigations involving Trump.
In one case, Trump was charged over his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House in January 2021. He has pleaded not guilty. The second is an investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 US election in which Republican Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

A spokesman for Smith’s office declined to comment on the New York Times report. A representative for Kushner could not immediately be reached for comment.
Trump’s array of legal problems
Trump, the front-runner in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, faces other legal problems. Prosecutors in New York City charged him in April in a case involving an alleged 2016 hush-money payment to a porn star.
Trump has repeatedly and falsely claimed that he won the 2020 election and that Biden’s victory was the result of fraud. Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a failed bid to prevent Congress from certifying Biden’s victory.
