Ivanka, Kushner re-route personal email accounts to Trump Org after being told by Congress not to


Top House Dem Demands Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Explain Email Switcheroo

Why did they re-route personal email accounts to Trump Org after being told by Congress not to?

The top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Thursday sent letters to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner demanding that they preserve government-related messages they sent using private email addresses and explain why they reportedly transferred the emails to Trump Organization servers after the committee told them not to relocate the records. “If these reports are accurate, they raise serious questions about your actions,” Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) wrote to Trump and Kushner.

USA Today reported Tuesday that Trump and Kushner, President Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, moved their personal email accounts to Trump Organization computers after news of Kushner’s use of a personal email account became public. Ivanka Trump and Kushner work as advisers in the White House. The couple’s use of nongovernmental emails has drawn comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

“Finally, there are questions about whether any of the emails you sent or received on your private email accounts included classified or sensitive information, such as information relating to foreign leaders or the schedules of senior White House officials,” Cummings adds.

Cummings also notes that the reported transfer of the emails—revealed on Wednesday by USA Today—could violate a pledge made by the couple to avoid business communications with the Trump Organization in order to steer clear of conflicts of interest.

What, Maggie Haberman is too concerned about access for her book to cover this?

I'm waiting for her apology about getting Trump elected due to NYT over coverage of Hillary emails.
