White House senior adviser Jared Kushner had at least three previously undisclosed contacts with Russia’s envoy to the U.S. during and after the campaign, Reuters reported Friday.
Reuters reported that the contacts involving President Trump’s son-in-law included two phone calls between April and November 2016.
The White House said in March that Kushner and Trump’s first national security adviser Michael Flynn had met Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak at Trump Tower in December.
The Washington Post and Reuters reported Friday evening that Kushner had discussed with the Russian ambassador the possibility of establishing a secure, private line of communication between the presidential transition and the Kremlin.
Six sources told Reuters that there were multiple contacts between Kushner and Kislyak, but declined to disclose details beyond the two pre-election calls and the post-election conversation about setting up a possible backchannel.
