MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace reported on speculation that Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President Donald Trump, may have the most legal exposure when former chief strategist Steve Bannon is questioned by special prosecutor Robert Mueller.
"Your paper, Michael Schmidt (New York Times) and the Associated Press and The Washington Post have all put a lot of meat on the bone on one of the things Robert Mueller is focused on, that is the firing of Jim Comey," Wallace noted.
"Steve Bannon was on the senior staff when the decision was made to fire Jim Comey," Wallace noted.
"We know through reporting...on Steve Bannon not being a fan of the advice that Donald Trump got to fire Jim Comey and one of the people who gave him that advice was Jared Kushner," Wallace continued.
"I'm told the person perhaps with the most at stake has been and goes before the Mueller investigation might be Jared Kushner," Wallace reported.
"Certainly," Associated Press White House reporter Jonathan Lemire agreed.
"There's no love lost between Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, which is a significant understatement. Yes, we know from our reporting that Steve Bannon [and] former chief of staff Reince Priebus, were opposed to this firing thinking it would bring far more harm than good," Lemire continued.
"Jared Kushner was not necessarily the leading voice but approved of the decision to do so, backed up his father-in-law's decision to fire the director and a school of thought in the White House this might be popular among Democrats because they were mad at Comey for throwing the election from Hillary Clinton last year," he continued.
"He's a terrible political strategist," Wallace said with a laugh.
