Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn attended the meeting.

Both sides agreed to discuss in depth such issues as the Syrian crisis after inauguration for a lack of secure communication channels at the time, according to Kushner.

Kushner said he then met with Russian banker Sergey Gorkov on Dec. 13 at the request of Kislyak, during which no specific policies nor business involving Kushner's companies were discussed.

Kushner said he agreed to the meeting after learning Gorkov had "direct relationship" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"I have nothing to hide," he said.

The statement was released before his close-door testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Kushner is due to appear in front of the House Intelligence committee Tuesday for a similar hearing.

In a separate hearing, Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. and Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort will appear before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary Wednesday to answer questions regarding their ties with Russia.

The questionings are parts of an ongoing investigation to determine whether Trump's campaign colluded with Russia, an accusation Trump and members of his inner circles repeatedly denied.
