		</div><p>US president Donald Trump&#8217;s son-in-law Jared Kushner has denied any improper conduct as he revealed he had four contacts with Russians during last year&#8217;s election campaign and the presidential transition period.</p>
<p>In a statement, Mr Kushner, a senior White House adviser, denied collusion with any foreign government during the presidential campaign. He also denied that Russians finance any of his businesses in the private sector.</p>
<p>The release of Mr Kushner&#8217;s statement comes hours ahead of his interview by a US Senate committee investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election and any possible collusion by Trump associates.</p>
<p>The interview with the Senate intelligence committee is behind held closed doors.</p>
<p>Mr Kushner said a June 2016 meeting with a Russian-American lawyer was such a &#8220;waste of time&#8221; that he asked his assistant to call him out of the gathering.</p>
<p>Emails released this month show that Mr Trump&#8217;s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, agreed to the meeting at Trump Tower on the understanding that he would receive damaging information about his father&#8217;s presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>Mr Kushner, who is married to the president&#8217;s daughter Ivanka, said he had not seen those emails until he was recently shown them by his lawyers.</p>
<p>Mr Kushner said in his statement that Mr Trump Jr invited him to the meeting. He said he arrived late and heard the lawyer involved discussing the issue of adoptions.</p>
<p>He added that he texted his assistant to call him out of the meeting.</p>
<p>Mr Kushner blamed his assistant for filing a version of his security clearance questionnaire which left off any contacts with foreign governments.</p>
<p>He said the assistant accidentally filed the questionnaire while it was still being prepared.</p>
<p>The White House adviser claimed the initial form left off all foreign contacts, not just ones with Russians.</p>
<p>Mr Kushner said he eventually disclosed more than 100 contacts with people from more than 20 countries.</p>
<p>That list includes the King of Jordan, the prime minister of Israel and a high-ranking Mexican government official.</p>
