When Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor, testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee in July, he failed to disclose he had a personal email account. Recent media reports have revealed Kushner is one of at least six White House advisors who has been using personal email accounts to conduct official government business.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) and Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) sent a letter to Kushner through his attorney Abbe Lowell on Thursday expressing disappointment they discovered the existence of a separate personal email account through news reports and not from Kushner himself. They asked Kushner to confirm that the documents he turned over to investigators included communication through this additonal account as well as any other previously undisclosed email accounts, messaging apps, or similar communications channels.
An email prankster posing as Kushner contacted Lowell earlier in the week and duped the attorney into believing he was communicating with his client about personal content in a personal email account. When Senators Burr and Warner sent their letter to Lowell, he accidentally forwarded it to the prankster who then forwarded it to CNN.
