REPORTER: IS FAIR TO SAY THE
RUSSIAN OPERATORS HAVE SEEN JUST
ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT EVEN THEY
WERE SHOCKED BY THIS ONE.
ONCE AGAIN PRESIDENTIAL
SON-IN-LAW AND SENIOR WHITE
HOUSE ADVISER JARED KUSHNER'S
MEETINGS WITH HIGH-RANKING
RUSSIAN OFFICIALS ARE MAKING
HEADLINES TONIGHT.
"WASHINGTON POST" REPORTING
KUSHNER AND THE RUSSIANS
DISCUSSED CREATING A SECRET
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL WITH THE
KREMLIN.
ONE DAY AFTER IT WAS REVEALED
THAT JARED KUSHNER IS NOW BEING
SCRUTINIZED BY THE FBI IN A
RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION THE
"WASHINGTON POST" REPORTS
KUSHNER AND THE RUSSIAN
AMBASSADOR SERGEY KISLYAK TALKED
ABOUT SETTING UP A SECRET AND
SECURE BACK CHANNEL TO SHIELD
THEIR DISCUSSIONS FROM BEING
MONITORED.
BASICALLY THEY HAD A MEETING
IN NEW YORK IN KISLYAK COMES UP
TO SEE JARED KUSHNER AND DURING
THAT DISCUSSION ACCORDING TO
KISLEYACK'S ACCOUNT YOU
BASICALLY HAVE JARED AND KUSHNER
PROPOSING THE IDEA HAVING A
SECURE PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS
CHANNEL AND JARED OPPOSES IT AT
A RUSSIAN FACILITY AT THE
RUSSIAN EMBASSY IN WASH 10.
KISLYAK WAS TAKEN ABACK BY THAT.
HE THOUGHT THAT WAS A BIZARRE
SUGGESTION.
REPORT TO IT WAS BASED ON
INFORMATION FROM U.S. OFFICIALS
WERE BRIEFED ON THE INTELLIGENCE
REPORTS.
KUSHNER'S PROPOSAL TO KEEP THE
COMMUNICATIONS FROM BEING
MONITORED BY U.S. INTELLIGENCE
AGENCIES WAS MADE AT THE
AFOREMENTIONED MEETING AT TRUMP
TOWER.
THE MEETING WAS ALSO ATTENDED BY
FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER
MICHAEL FLYNN AND THE FBI IS
REPORTEDLY FOCUSING ON IT AS ONE
OF TWO KEY MEETINGS OF
INVESTIGATIVE INTEREST IN THE
RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE
HAVE SEEN SOMEONE IN PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S INNER CIRCLE BECOME A
FOCUS OF THIS ONGOING INQUIRY.
REPORTER: IN EARLY APRIL THE
POST REPORTED ON
ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH A TRUMP
BACK CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS
CONNECTION AT A MEETING ARRANGED
BY THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES IN
JANUARY ON AN ISLAND IN THE
INDIAN OCEAN A MEETING INVOLVING
A FORMER TRUMP SUPPORTER AND THE
FOUNDER OF THE SECURITY FORM AND
ALSO A CLOSE ASSOCIATE OF
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
IF THIS HAS BEEN A BAD WEEK FOR
KUSHNER AND L.A. CONGRESSMAN TED
LIEU SAYS IT RAISES SO MANY
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS THAT
REINFORCES HIS CALL FOR KUSHNER
SECURITY CLEARANCE TO BE
REVOKED.
NOW YOU HAVE JARED KUSHNER
WHO UNDERSTANDS PEOPLE KNOW HE'S
UNDER FBI SCRUTINY.
RUSSIA THREATENS HIM WITH MORE
FAKE INFORMATION THIESSEN A
COMPROMISE THAT WILL POSITION.
HE NEEDS TO HAVE SECURITY SAID
CLEARANCES SUSPENDED.
HE LIED ON A SECURITY CLEARANCE
FORM WHEN HE OMITTED ALL
CONTACTS WITH RUSSIA.
REPORTER: AND THEIR RELATED
DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT REUTERS IS
REPORTING JARED KUSHNER HAVE AT
LEAST THREE MORE PREVIOUSLY
UNDISCLOSED CONTACTS WITH SERGEY
KISLYAK THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR
DURING AND AFTER THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
TO THOSE CONTACTS WERE
PHONECALLS AND THIS IS IMPORTANT
TO POINT OUT.
WHILE MR. KUSHNER IS UNDER F. VA
SCRUTINY HE'S NOT CURRENTLY THE
SUBJECT OR A TARGET OF A
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.
LEYNA: YESTERDAY'S REVELATIONS
RAISING SO MANY NEW QUESTIONS ON
POSSIBLE CLUE SHINZO QUARTER

THE LEAD AND THAT'S THE SENATE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.
THEY ARE LEADING THE WAY NOW AND
PURPORTS DAY AFTER DAY CONTINUE
TO WIDEN INVESTIGATIONS AND
CREATING A LOT OF ISSUES TO BE
RESOLVED.
TO THAT END THE "WASHINGTON

SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
HAS NOW ASKED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
POLITICAL ORGANIZATION TO HAND
OVER ALL RUSSIA RELATED
DOCUMENTS, E-MAILS AND PHONE
RECORDS GOING BACK TWO YEARS TO
JUNE 2015 WHEN THE CAMPAIGN WAS
OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED.
THAT CERTAINLY COULD OPEN UP A
MASSIVE PROBE IN POSSIBLE HIM
MEDDLING IN COLLUSION AND A
CLEAR SIGNAL THE SENATE
