It wasn’t just one person. Or two. There’s a growing list of people who had such communications.
President
Donald Trump’s administration has now conceded that some of its top officials did indeed have contact with Russia during the campaign.
Michael Flynn lost his job as national security adviser over the admission last month, and on Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions had his power diminished when he promised to
recuse himself from investigations into Russia’s interference in U.S. elections.
But it’s not just Flynn and Sessions. On Thursday, officials admitted there were three other people who communicated with Russia during the campaign as well.
Two Trump campaign aides,
Carter Page and J.D. Gordon, met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in Cleveland during the
GOP convention last summer. In December, Trump’s senior aide and son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
joined Flynn for a meeting with Kislyak.

I'm sure the list will continue to grow - and deepen.
