Asserting that his linkage with the Russia story is a 'hoax', United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday questioned as to why the House Intelligence Committee is not investigating Bill and Hilary Clinton's 'various ties with Moscow'.

This came after Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner volunteered to speak to the Senate Intelligence Committee.

'Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech money to Bill, the Hillary Russian 'reset', praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA! (sic),' Trump said in a series of tweets.

He also said that the Republican House Freedom Caucus 'snatched defeat from the jaws of victory', apparently referring to the failure of the House to pass a repeal and replace plan for Obamacare.

Earlier, it was reported that Kushner is ready to speak before the panel as part of its investigation into Russian meddling in the US Presidential election.

'Throughout the campaign and transition, Jared Kushner served as the official primary point of contact with foreign governments and officials. Given this role, he has volunteered to speak with Chairman Burr's Committee, but has not yet received confirmation,' CNN quoted a White House spokesman as saying on Monday.

The Senate committee sought Kushner, who is a key adviser to the President, as part of its investigation, according to sources. The timing is still being determined, a Senate aide said.

Last week, FBI director James Comey confirmed that federal investigators are investigating ties between Trump's top campaign aides and Russian officials. -- ANI
