Kushner Offered to Help Indicted Banker

“Shortly after Donald Trump’s 2016 election, Paul Manafort wrote to Jared Kushner to ask the incoming administration to consider giving a ‘major appointment’’ to Manafort’s banker,” Bloomberg reports.

Replied Kushner: “On it!”

“That email exchange, which was admitted as evidence during Manafort’s tax-fraud trial last year, gained new significance Thursday with the unsealing of a federal indictment in New York. The new filing accused the banker, Stephen Calk, of extending loans to Manafort as part of an effort to bribe his way into a plum administration job.”

Mr. Kushner, what did your e-mail response "On it!" mean? It seems quite enthusiastic, if brief.

... but will he show up? I do hope the tipping point is soon reached as to ignoring subpoenas.
