White House Forced To Launch Investigation Of Personal Email Use By Staff
It is unclear whether they plan to look up the meaning of the word irony.
The Trump White House has a new investigation on its hands.
It was revealed over the last several days that several senior members of the White House, including Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, have been using private email accounts to conduct official government business.
And now the Trump White House has been forced to launch an internal investigation into the issue and has begun to pull “batches of emails on the White House server to and from private accounts of senior aides,” according to a Politico report.
According to the report, the White House Counsel’s Office is reviewing the messages in order to find out whether they are relevant to the various investigations into Russian election meddling.
As Politico points out, “Of particular interest is Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s private email domain, because they still work in the White House, two officials said.”
At least five current and former members of the White House – Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Gary Cohn, Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus – have used personal email accounts.
Donald Trump, of course, railed against Hillary Clinton for the use of a private email account during her time as Secretary of State and during campaign rallies led chants of “lock her up!”
