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. Kushner’s production despite being responsive to the second request."

1. Their attempted coverup is beginning to stink almost as badly as the collusion. . . . . nt

2. A family of deplorables....

So far, the only tRump who hasn't been directly in touch with the Russians is Barron (as far as we know).

4. i'm choking to death

so much smoke.

5. I'm sure it was just another accidental oversight and Jared will gladly turn those emails over ...

... now that they have been brought to his attention.

11. Ask the Russians. I am sure they have complete sets of Trumpster emails. . . . . nt

6. K&R

Will Mueller be seeking an indictment for Kushner?
If so, when?

7. Very typical procedure...

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.

12. Only if a subpoena is issued.

He’s probably going to say his legal team is still analyzing the documents for release to the committee.

13. So...his documents couldn't be turned over

because they were "under audit"?

Like 45's tax returns?

[Calista241]

14. Hes turning them into over in good faith

Unless and until a subpoena is issued, he’s under no legal obligation to do anything.

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.

8. Caught with the hand in the cookie jar wasn't he?

9. Jared, Jared, Jared.......

you may NEVER get out of prison with all of your lies. If each "forgotten" email is taken as a separate count of cover-up or contempt.....your "beautiful" wife will be a toothless crone by the time you get out.

10. Why isn't the plastic man in jail right now?

Oh yeah, he thinks he is above the law....and he is right. The GOP and rich donors own the country and make/break the rules to suit themselves.
