White House doesn’t deny WaPo report that Kushner asked for ‘back channel’ to Russians

by SooperMexican

Trump people are very angrily denouncing this report from the Washington Post, but the White House is not denying it so far.

It said that the son-in-law of el Trumpo tried to get a back channel from the Trump transition team to the Russians before the inauguration, in order to escape monitoring from the U.S. intelligence agencies!! Dang dude, really?

That sounds. A little. Shady.

Watch below:

CNN explains:

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and trusted aide Jared Kushner discussed creating a secret communications channel between the Trump transition team and the Kremlin with Russia’s ambassador Sergei Kislyak, The Washington Post reported Friday, citing US officials briefed on intelligence reports.

Kislyak reportedly told higher-ups in Moscow that Kushner suggested the proposal in a meeting at Trump Tower — which former national security adviser Michael Flynn also attended — in December. Kushner “suggested using Russian diplomatic facilities in the United States for the communications,” the Post reported.

CNN has not yet confirmed the Post’s report.

However, earlier this year, in March, CNN reported Kushner had “relationship meetings” with Kislyak and with Russian banker Sergey Gorkov to discuss issues like sanctions. The transition team was looking for ways to establish a back channel to Putin, a source told CNN.

This is what he said about being investigated before this report came out:

So… what’s the story? Why aren’t they denying this? And how are they going to explain this away?!?
