In a letter to White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Cummings wrote that Kushner's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, told him and former Oversight Chair Trey Gowdy last December that both Kushner and Ivanka had been using personal email for official business. Kushner had also been utilizing the encrypted messaging service WhatsApp to interact with foreign counterparts, raising questions about whether he had been recording those interactions.
Cummings’ letter said the committee had also obtained additional documents showing former White House officials Steve Bannon and K.T. McFarland had used personal email for official business. McFarland, while serving as deputy national security adviser, allegedly used her AOL account to communicate about transferring "sensitive U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in coordination with Tom Barrack," a personal friend of Trump who ran his inaugural committee. The Oversight panel released new details last month of the scheme by Barrack, former national security adviser Mike Flynn, and other Trump officials to sell nuclear technology to the Saudis. Bannon also received Barrack's pitch on the plan at a personal account while he was serving as White House chief strategist, according to the letter.
