"Right now, as an administration, we're more in the fact-finding phase," Kushner, a White House senior adviser, told Van Jones at the Citizen by CNN conference.
"We're getting as many facts as we can," Kushner said, "then we'll determine which facts are credible."
Kushner's comments came in the opening session of a daylong conference organized by CNN that will explore a range of topics with newsmakers like former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi two weeks before the 2018 midterm elections.
Kushner has cultivated a close relationship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's de facto leader.
Kushner said it was important to maintain the US-Saudi alliance.
"We have to be able to work with our allies, and Saudi Arabia has, I think, been a very strong ally in terms of pushing back on Iran's aggression," Kushner said.
Kushner said his advice to Prince Mohammed has been to "be transparent" in his proceedings.
