Jared Kushner's personal email moved to Trump Organization computers amid public scrutiny

Coverage Type: 

President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump moved their personal e-mail accounts to computers run by the Trump Organization as public scrutiny intensified over their use of private e-mails to conduct White House business, internet registration records show.

The move, made just days after Kushner’s use of a personal e-mail account first became public, came shortly after special counsel Robert Mueller asked the White House to turn over records related to his investigation of Russia's interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with Trump associates. It also more closely intertwines President Trump’s administration with his constellation of private businesses. Kushner, who is a senior adviser to the president, first faced scrutiny for his private e-mail use on Sept. 24, when his lawyer confirmed that he had occasionally used a personal e-mail account to communicate with other White House officials. Kushner's contacts with Russians during the presidential campaign have drawn the attention of federal investigators. According to internet registration records, Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump, who is also a senior adviser, switched the location of their e-mail accounts to a server operated by the Trump Organization on either Sept. 26 or 27, as attention from the media and lawmakers intensified.
