New details could implicate top trans. officials, inc. Kushner, Bannon, Stephen Milleer, Conway

New details from Mueller about Michael Flynn could implicate top Trump officials — and Jared Kushner is at the top of the list

Trump was at Mar-a-Lago on December 29. A pool report from that day indicates that transition officials at Mar-a-Lago included Stephen Miller, K.T. McFarland, Kellyanne Conway, Steve Bannon, and Reince Priebus.

Kushner was a senior member of the transition team and had met with both Flynn and Kislyak earlier that month at Trump Tower. He is a focus of Mueller's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 US election and whether any Trump associates played a part.

It is unclear whether Kushner was at Mar-a-Lago on December 29, however. He and his wife, Ivanka Trump, flew to Hawaii for a vacation on December 22.

Flynn and the senior transition official "discussed the US Sanctions, including the potential impact of those sanctions on the incoming administration's foreign policy goals" during their call on December 29, the document says. It adds that they also discussed that members of the transition team "at Mar-a-Lago did not want Russia to escalate the situation."
