Eleven pages of State Department documents released on Jan. 7 in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch show that Jonathan Winer, an assistant to then-Secretary of State John Kerry, used his private email address to convey information he received from former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to top U.S. diplomatic officials.
āI will send them to her [his assistant, Nina Miller] from my non-State email account, not copying myself,ā Winer said in response to a December 2014 email from Paul Jones, principal deputy assistant secretary for European Affairs.
Jones wanted Winer to use the State Departmentās secure email system, known informally as the āhigh side,ā to transmit reports from Steeleās firm, Orbis Business Intelligence.
āGiven our ongoing concerns about security of open net, [then-Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland] and I wonder if it would be possible for you to flip Orbis reports to this system before sending them to us. Understand thatās yet another step in the process for you. We just want to be sure we donāt inadvertently undermine a very good source of info or worse.ā
Winer, who was then-special coordinator for Libya under Kerry, continued in his response, telling Jones āshe will then send them to us. You know who they are coming from, so even high side from here I will just refer to them as āO Reports,ā and strip out any other identifying information as to sourcing.ā
