According to Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, the project will go forward without a tax abatement that was at the center of the lawsuit.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol interviewed its first Trump family member and the highest-ranking official from the previous administration by meeting with Jared Kushner on Thursday for more than six hours, a source inside the room told NBC News.

The panel met virtually with Kushner — Donald Trump's son-in-law and a former top White House adviser — after he voluntarily agreed to speak with the committee Trump has accused of conducting a "witch hunt."

The source described Kushner as being cooperative and friendly.
