Kushner ought to testify under oath Sen. Ron Wyden said. He faced questions from committee staff behind closed doors on Monday about his contacts with Russia. He is scheduled to answer more questions about the matter during a similar meeting with the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.
In a statement released Monday, Kushner said he “did not collude, nor know of anyone else in the campaign who colluded, with any foreign government.” Sounded very scripted.
Kushner’s
11-page written statement about four meetings he had with Russians during last year’s presidential campaign and during the Trump administration’s transition, which he failed to disclose on a security clearance form, “raises far more questions than it answers.” Kushner has repeatedly concealed information about his personal finances and meetings with foreign officials,” he added. There should be no presumption that he is telling the whole truth.
Wyden noted Kushner’s statement was likely written with the help of a “clever lawyer” and may have been carefully crafted in the way it described the meetings. Kushner will reportedly
not be under oath during his scheduled appearances before the committees. Under federal law, however, it is still illegal to lie to Congress.
Donald Trump Jr. and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who are scheduled to meet with the Senate Intelligence Committee behind closed doors on Wednesday, will
also not be under oath when they testify.
If they didn't collude it would be under oath.
