President Vladimir Putin said he’s unaware of any proposal from Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, to set up a secret line of communications between the incoming administration and the Russian government, and that it’s “nonsense” to say Russia has collected compromising material about Trump.
“I am not aware of such a proposal,” Putin said in an interview for NBC News’ “Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly” conducted in St. Petersburg on June 2 and broadcast on Sunday. “No such proposal ever reached me.”
