Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has declared he "did not collude" with Russian officials during the presidential election campaign last year.
Mr Kushner, now a senior White House adviser, has emerged from his closed-door appearance at a US Senate panel probing alleged Russian meddling in last year's US presidential election.
The committee spoke to him about about a meeting he attended a year ago between Mr Trump's eldest son and Russian lawyer who promised damaging information about their election rival, Hilary Clinton.
Mr Kushner said he had provided the senate panel, the first of two committees he will speak to this week, with all documents requested.
Earlier, he released a statement saying he had "perhaps four contacts with Russian representatives" during the 2016 campaign and did not collude, nor know of anyone else in the campaign who colluded, with any foreign government.
Mr Kushner said he had about four meetings with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign and presidential transition.
He also said his initial security clearance form had been submitted prematurely in error and had omitted all foreign contacts.
"I did not collude, nor know of anyone else in the campaign who colluded, with any foreign government," Mr Kushner said. "I had no improper contacts. I have not relied on Russian funds to finance my business activities in the private sector."
Investigations
Mr Trump has been dogged by allegations that his campaign aides worked with Russia, which US intelligence agencies have accused of interfering in the election. Moscow has denied any interference, and the US president says his campaign did not collude with Moscow.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is one of several congressional panels investigating the Russia matter, along with a federal criminal probe led by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Mr Kushner arrived at the Senate meeting with prominent white-collar defence lawyer Abbe Lowell.
He is also scheduled to address a House of Representatives intelligence panel on Tuesday.
