After news broke that the investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia has named a senior White House official as a person of interest, reporters are narrowing it down to two possible people: Steve Miller and Jared Kushner. A New York Magazine reporter claims to have confirmed with four different people who said the person of interest is President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

On Friday, the Washington Post reported that law enforcement has identified “a current White House official as a special person of interest,” whom they referred to as a “senior White House adviser” who is “close to the president.” Jared Kushner and Steve Miller both fit that description.
