Jared Kushner Is Lying About Russia Meetings and Contacts, Ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Says
http://www.newsweek.com/jared-kushner-lying-russia-641720
Jared Kushners explanations for his contacts with Russians during last years election sound like lies, according to a former assistant special prosecutor who worked on Richard Nixons Watergate scandal and investigation.
Jill Wine-Banks, who has been highly critical of President Donald Trump and his administration while claiming impeachment is around the corner, stated Monday during an interview on MSNBCs The Last Word that the 11-page statement by Kushner, the White House senior adviser and the presidents son-in-law, along with his reasons behind meetings with Russians, are blatantly ridiculous.
First I want to say it was a very smoothly written document, Wine-Banks said. He clearly has a very good lawyer. But as soon as you start to probe it, it falls apart. The explanations that are offered seem blatantly ridiculous. The explanation for the back channel is not credible to me, the explanation for forgetting over 100 foreign contacts isnt believable.
In the statement issued just before his closed testimony before the Senate intelligence committee Monday, Kushner admitted to contact with four Russians, including ambassador Sergei Kislyak, but did not name the other three.
