Kushner’s Lawyer Accidentally Revealed To Prankster That His Client Didn’t Senate About Personal Email
Jared Kushner’s lawyer fell for a notorious email prankster, then sent him a sensitive document from the Senate Intel Committee.
Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior adviser to President Trump, failed to disclose the existence of a personal email account when he met with Senate Intelligence Committee staff last month, according to a new report by CNN.
The two leaders of the committee, Senator Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.), sent a letter to Kushner via his attorney Thursday, demanding that he check that the documents he turned over to the committee included those from the personal email address.
“The Committee was concerned to learn of this additional email account from the news media, rather than from you, in your closed staff interview,” Burr and Warner wrote.
“Please confirm that the document production that you made to the committee … included the additional ‘personal email account’ described to the news media, as well as all other email accounts messaging apps, or similar communications channels you may have used.”
The CNN report revealed that it obtained the letter sent by Burr and Warner from an email prankster who had tricked Kushner’s lawyer into believing he was Kushner.
CNN noted that when Kushner’s lawyer Abbey Lowell attempted to forward the Senate Intel committee’s letter his email auto-filled the email address of the prankster’s fake Kushner account. The prankster then sent the letter to CNN.
It was revealed earlier this week that Kushner has used a private email account to communicate with other Trump administration officials about White House business.
