Jared Kushner needed to utilize Russian offices to evade US interference of discourses with Moscow, the Washington Post and New York Times said.
Mr Kushner, a senior White House assistant, has not remarked.
He is said to be under investigation by the FBI as a component of its investigation into Russian impedance favoring Mr Trump's win.
Reports in the US say agents trust he has important data, however he is not really associated with a wrongdoing.

What's irregular about an immediate line to Moscow?
The US and Moscow have dependably had a hotline - famously alluded to as the Red Phone, despite the fact that it was not a phone. This was intended to empower the two superpowers to keep away from atomic calamity amid the Cold War.
Mr Kushner seems, by all accounts, to be proposing a comparable set-up.
In any case, what is abnormal is this would be a channel utilizing Russian equipment.
So this would have been outside authority correspondences typically utilized by a group going to accept the initiative of the US - meaning US pioneers were utilizing Russian channels rather than their own.
What's more, altogether, these interchanges would not shape some portion of archived US approach making.
Is the planning critical?
Extremely. Keep in mind that Russian assertions of impedance to influence the decision for Donald Trump risen in May 2016 with the principal reports of programmers focusing on the Democratic Party.
What took after were reports that US insight offices had followed the ruptures back to Russian programmers. In August, Wikileaks discharged 20,000 interior messages of individuals from the Democratic National Convention (DNC), stolen by the programmers.
Mr Trump's then battle administrator, Paul Manafort, surrendered in the wake of being blamed for tolerating a huge number of dollars in real money for speaking to Russian premiums in Ukraine and US.
In October, the US insight group discharged a consistent proclamation formally blaming Russia for being behind the DNC hacking.
In this way, by December when the claimed Kushner-Flynn-Kislyak meeting was held, the Trump group would have had grounds to put stock in the presence of an examination concerning the Russian connections.
Is Kushner blamed for any wrongdoing?
The Washington Post had effectively announced FBI specialists were concentrating on gatherings Mr Kushner held a year ago with Mr Kislyak, and also a broker from Moscow, Sergei Gorkov.
Mr Gorkov is the head of Vnesheconombank, which has been liable to sanctions forced by the Obama organization because of Russia's addition of Crimea and its support for separatists in eastern Ukraine.
The bank is under the control of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and different individuals from the administration, and has been utilized to reserve real ventures, for example, the 2014 Winter Olympics in the southern Russian resort of Sochi.
Mr Kushner has said he didn't talk about authorizations with Mr Gorkov.
His legal counselor has beforehand said his customer would co-work with any request.
