Kushner to face intel committee on Monday behind closed doors

By Devlin Barrett July 23 at 6:25 PM

<...>

Some lawyers not involved in the case expressed surprise that, given the potential legal pitfalls of the criminal investigation, Kushner or any other Trump advisers would take the risk of talking to Congress, given that such statements could be used against them later by criminal prosecutors.

“It’s a very difficult tightrope to walk,’’ said Justin Dillon, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice. “He has to balance the political fallout from taking the Fifth Amendment with the potential criminal fallout of talking.’’

Dillon predicted anything Kushner tells the committee will be shared with Mueller.
