...which is a huge red flag. Also a red flag is the influx of Russian and Deutsche Bank money (same thing, really), when the Trump Corp was strapped for cash.

Jared Kushner gave a confusing explanation for his alleged 'back channel' plan with Russia
Jared Kushner gave a confusing explanation for his alleged 'back channel' plan with Russia
Kushner's statement appears consistent with a Washington Post report published in May that said he had floated the possibility of setting up a secure line of communication between the Trump transition team and Russia — and having those talks take place in Russian diplomatic facilities in the US, essentially concealing their interactions from US government scrutiny.
According to The Post, Kislyak was "taken aback" by Kushner's request because it posed significant risks for both the Trump team and the Kremlin. But he passed along that request to Moscow anyway.
Kushner did not previously disclose the December meetings with Kislyak and the CEO of a Russian bank, Sergey Gorkov, on his security clearance form. He said in his statement that the form was submitted prematurely.
