President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, forwarded emails about a "Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite," two senators...

The top Democrat and Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee fired a warning shot at Jared Kushner yesterday, demanding in a letter to Kushner's lawyer that he hand over all of the Russia-related emails he sent or received during the election. Kushner evidently failed to produce documents to the lawmakers that they say "are known to exist" about a "Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite" and communications with a Belarusian-American businessman named Sergei Millian. One could forgive Kushner for forgetting to hand over a few emails. But this was not the first time the 36-year-old real-estate investor failed to fully comply with document requests and disclosure requirements. Kushner has had to update his security clearance form — to include previously undisclosed meetings with foreign nationals, investments, and business relationships — at least three times since entering the White House. Ten months later, Kushner is still relying on an interim security clearance while he waits for a permanent version. His latest run-in with the Senate Judiciary Committee will do little to allay concerns that he shouldn't hold one at all. —Natasha Bertrand |
