Manafort emailed Kushner with recommendations for senior administration posts
looks like manafort was doing the old 'pay for play' crime....wonder if donald was getting a cut?(CNN)Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is now officially part of the trove of evidence in Paul Manafort's criminal trial, as part of an email exchange with the former campaign chairman about potential senior administration jobs.
Manafort sent Kushner a recommendation to appoint Federal Savings Bank chair Stephen Calk as secretary of the Army in a November 30, 2016, email released Monday by the Justice Department.
At the same time, Manafort had received the first part of what would be $16 million in loans from Calk's bank, according to testimony Monday from James Brennan, the bank's vice president.
Manafort also suggested two other possible Trump appointees, Pat Sink and Vernon Parker, according to the email released Monday.
