Jared Kushner Instructed Flynn To Contact Russian Ambassador: Report
Another shoe just dropped in the Russia investigation and it landed right on Jared Kushner’s head.
President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is about to feel the wrath of Robert Mueller.
According to a new report by Bloomberg News, Jared Kushner instructed Flynn to contact the Russian ambassador to interfere with a UN resolution condemning Israeli settlements.
The Bloomberg report strongly suggests that Kushner is one of the two Trump transition officials that were mentioned in the Flynn charging documents filed by Special Counsel Mueller Friday. The document noted Flynn will testify that two senior Trump transition officials had instructed him to the Russian ambassador regarding both U.S. sanctions on Russian and the UN resolution on Israel. BuzzFeed News has also confirmed the report that it was Kushner who instructed Flynn to call the Russian ambassador.
Two sources told Bloomberg that Kushner “called Flynn to tell him he needed to get every foreign minister or ambassador from a country on the U.N. Security Council to delay or vote against the resolution.”
And that “much of this appeared to be coordinated also with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose envoys shared their own intelligence about the Obama administration’s lobbying efforts to get member states to support the resolution with the Trump transition team.”
The conversation with Kislyak, which took place on December 22, 2016, was a separate communication from the call between Flynn and the Russian ambassador about U.S. sanctions against Russia.
