TL;DR Summary

Jared Kushner, former White House senior advisor and son-in-law of Donald Trump, testified before a grand jury in Washington DC last month as part of the federal investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Prosecutors are examining whether Trump acknowledged his loss, which could lead to charges against him. Other witnesses, including Hope Hicks and Alyssa Farah Griffin, were also questioned. During his testimony, Kushner maintained that Trump believed the election was stolen. The House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack has provided witness testimony indicating that Trump was informed multiple times that he lost the election, but he continued to claim victory and spread baseless narratives of election fraud. It remains unclear what charges federal prosecutors may bring against Trump, but possible charges include inciting an insurrection and obstructing an act of Congress. Trump is already facing federal charges related to mishandling classified documents and charges in New York regarding a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. He is also under investigation in Georgia for alleged efforts to overturn his election loss in that state.
