Kushner Used Private Email For White House Work: Report
Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
President Trump’s senior adviser/son-in-law Jared Kushner is in some hot water after it was revealed that he used a private email account to conduct White House business.
According to a report in Politico, Kushner set up a personal email account during the transition in December which he continued to use once joining the White House.
Kushner used the private email to correspond with former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, former chief strategist Steve Bannon, economic adviser Gary Cohn and spokesman Josh Raffel, Politico notes.
Donald Trump, of course, repeatedly attacked Hillary Clinton during the campaign over her use of a private email while she served as Secretary of State.
Politico notes that Kushner used the email to talk about various topics including media planning and event coverage.
Kushner isn’t the only one.
And it isn’t just Jared Kushner. The Politico report also notes that it is “part of a larger pattern of Trump administration aides using personal email accounts for government business.”
“Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, set up their private family domain late last year before moving to Washington from New York, according to people with knowledge of events as well as publicly available internet registration records. At the time, Kushner — who served as a senior campaign adviser — was expected to be named to a White House role, while Ivanka Trump was publicly saying she didn’t plan to work in her father’s administration,” Politico went on to note.
