any communications with wikileaks, guccifer, and so forth. or do you know anyone on the campaign who had. i don t think how that s a gotcha question. right. no, i mean, look, it certainly seems directly to the point in the e-mail that he was informed that someone else in the campaign was in contact with wikileaks and said he was often aware of any such contact. very similar to the attorney general where he said he was unaware of any campaign officials who had met with russians and yet he was at a meeting with george papadopoulos in which he talked specifically about the outreach with his contacts from russia. again, we have a clear pattern here. hence, the repeat, i do not recall. mark, let me come to you and i ll read a portion of the opening statement that jared kushner reportedly red when de was on the hill testifying. it was typical for me to receive 200 or more e-mails a day during the campaign. i did not have the time to read
doesn t recall being told anyone in the campaign communicated with wikileaks. don junior sent an e-mail saying he had. how is team kushner responding? well, we got a response from abbey lowell, kushner s attorney. he calls this a classic gotcha question. he says, quote, in over six hours of voluntary testimony mr. kushner answered all questions put to him and demonstrated that there had been no collusion between the campaign and russia. as you pointed out, the underlying thing here is that what kushner s answer is he didn t recall any. so he s not saying he didn t receive the e-mail, john. he s simply saying he didn t remember it. all right. stay right there. i want to come back to you shortly. first, though, more on jared kushner who certainly does seem to turn up throughout this investigation. in addition we also expect that special counsel robert mueller will be interviewing kushner as part of his probe. pamela brown has a look at exactly what kushner s role has
jared kushner told congressional investigators he didn t communicate with wikileaks and didn t recall anyone in the trump campaign who did. we now know from disclosures that donald trump jr. sent an e-mail to kushner and others to pass on information that he learned from wikileaks. kushner then forwarded that to hope hicks, one of the closest aides to then candidate trump and now the communications director at white house. what this latest revelation does is turns up pressure for kushner to go back to capitol hill for more interviews and to explain himself. we heard from the leaders of the senate judiciary committee saying kushner had failed to turn over documents they know exist. that includes information about wikileaks. his attorney says the wikileaks question is a gotcha question. he adds that over six hours of voluntary testimony, mr. kushner answered all questions put to
what are kushner s attorneys saying about this? reporter: they re kind of saying the senators are playing some what cute here. calling it a gotcha question about whether or not he had any communications with wikileaks. the his lawyer is basically told us he s turned over everything they ve asked for, the attorney, abee lowell also tells us he was in meetings with members on the hill for over six hours offering voluntary testimony, answering all questions put to him and demonstrated there has been no collusion between the campaign and russia. so shimon, it s not just what he did or didn t disclose regarding the communications with wikileaks, but the senate judiciary leaders say es omissions include documents related to some kind of russian back door channel and a russian dinner invite. they were left out as well? yeah. so this have that e-mail. but their issue is is that the e-mail that they have did not
the letter said others had provided documents showing, quote, september 2016 e-mail communications to mr. kushner concerning wikileaks which mr. kushner then forwarded to another campaign official, john. donald trump jr. communicated with wikileaks, e-mails jared kushner, he forwarded that e-mail on and then jared kushner testified he didn t recall whether anyone in the campaign communicated with wikileaks. so what is the kushner camp saying about this tonight? his attorney calls this a classic gotcha question. he said in over six hours of testimony he disputes the judiciary committee s letter of not turning over documents and says the committee should turn over transcripts of interviews
