Senate Judiciary Committee: Kushner forwarded emails about 'a Russian backdoor overture & dinner inv
Source: Business Insider
President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner forwarded emails concerning a Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite to Trump campaign officials and failed to produce those emails to the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to a letter the senators sent Kushner's lawyer on Thursday.
Kushner also failed to produce emails on which he was copied involving communication with WikiLeaks, and with the Belarusan-American businessman Sergei Millian, the senators said. Millian most recently headed a group called the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce.
"There are several documents that are known to exist but were not included in your production," Senators Chuck Grassley and Dianne Feinstein wrote to Kushner.
They continued:
"For example, other parties have produced September 2016 email communications to Mr. Kushner concerning WikiLeaks, which Mr. Kushner then forwarded to another campaign official. Such documents should have been produced in response to the third request but were not. Likewise, other parties have produced documents concerning a 'Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite' which Mr. Kushner also forwarded. And still others have produced communications with Sergei Millian, copied to Mr. Kushner. Again, these do not appear in Mr. Kushners production despite being responsive to the second request."

(2,192 posts)To ask a defendant to produce something that you already have. The fact that they don't produce it is itself a crime, regardless of what you're originally investigating.
For some reason, the URL in the original post didn't work for me. This one did, in case anyone else have issues: http://www.businessinsider.com/jared-kushner-emails-russia-backdoor-feinstein-grassley-2017-11?r=UK&IR=T

He works for the President as a personal advisor, a position that is not within the regular purview of either the Senate or the House of Reps.
