Kellyanne Conway Pushes Back on Russia Investigation: 'This Entire Thing is Just a Rush to Judgment'

Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox & Friends on Tuesday, where she pushed back against the reports that Jared Kushner wanted to set up a secret backchannel between the White House and the Russian government.

Conway said that communication backchannels are not unusual in the White House, and that Kushner has volunteered to give testimony over his connections with Russia. Conway also cited President Trump‘s recent statement about how he has confidence in his son-in-law despite the new waves of scrutiny he faces.

Brian Kilmeade asked Conway about a new Fox News report that suggests it was the Russians who proposed a temporary comms channel with the Trump Administration. Previous articles from other outlets have reported that the opposite was true, and that one of the Russian officials Kushner recently spoke with has been blacklisted by U.S. intelligence.

“I cannot comment on any of that because there is no reason to, frankly,” said Conway. “This entire thing is just a rush to judgment. We have been talking about this for about 8 months and yet…it’s a lot easier to scream Russia, Russia, Russia every day.”
