A December meeting between Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and one of the senior advisers in the Trump administration, and Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak at Trump Tower focused on Syria, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Monday.

During the meeting the Russians broached the idea of using a secure line between the Trump administration and Russia, not Kushner, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News. That follows a recent report from The Washington Post alleging that Kushner wanted to develop a secure, private line with Russia.

The idea of a permanent back channel was never discussed, according to the source. Instead, only a one-off for a call about Syria was raised in the conversation.

In addition, the source told Fox News the December meeting focused on Russia's contention that the Obama administration's policy on Syria was deeply flawed.

Details of the meeting follow a NBC report that Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka, is currently under FBI scrutiny as part of the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Kushner suggested the use of Russian diplomatic facilities as a way to shield pre-inauguration discussions with Kislyak from monitoring, according to The Post.

Kislyak allegedly then relayed the suggestion to his superiors in Moscow. That was based on intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by U.S. officials, although neither the meeting nor the communications of the Americans involved were under U.S. surveillance, officials told the Post.

The source has told Fox News that Kushner is eager to tell Congress about the meeting and any others of interest.

If you can't trust a Fox News article with no byline and a single anonymous source, who can you trust.

You know what is depressing? 100% of Trump supporters will buy into this insanity! We need media that can play the same insane game that Trump is playing... They should start saying "White House officials".

Huh? Not sure what you mean, news sources have, in fact, referenced White House officials and White House sources many times.

Trump wants the sources named so he can figure out where the leaks are coming from. He's obviously baiting the media to start naming names.

I highly doubt that's what is going on here. I would say this is probably less him, and more Fox on continuing damage control.

The Trump Administration has repeatedly tried to "tip off" WaPo and other publications with pro-Trump fake news. They get their shit vetted so it never gets published.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if the same doesn't happen at Fox.

If you ever want to know how stupid people are, think about how the President uses twitter to convince adult human beings that they should only believe him regarding news stories about himself and not the free press.

Wouldn't be surprised? The network was and is designed as a mouthpiece for the Republicans and nothing else. I would be surprised if they didn't deliberately lie at least daily.

Fox News is late to the punch here. Administration officials have already been out promoting the fact that Jared kushner did absolutely nothing wrong by promoting the back channel. Now they want to pretend that Russia said this? Can they erase from the internet the past few days?
