Kushner: ”Kunde inte ens samarbeta med oss själva”
Donald Trumps svärson Jared Kushner har en ovanlig förklaring till varför uppgifterna om presidentkampanjens samarbete med Ryssland är falska, skriver Foreign Policy. Under ett samtal med praktikanter i kongressen sa Kushner att Trumps presidentkampanj var så oorganiserad att anklagelserna faller på sin egen orimlighet, skriver sajten.
– De tror vi samarbetade med Ryssland, men vi kunde inte ens samarbeta med våra lokala avdelningar, ska Kushner ha sagt.

Wikipedia (en)
Jared Corey Kushner (born January 10, 1981) is an American investor, real-estate developer, newspaper publisher, and senior advisor to President Donald Trump.
Kushner is the elder son of real-estate developer Charles Kushner and is married to Trump's daughter Ivanka. He was chief executive officer of the real-estate holding and development company Kushner Companies and of Observer Media, publisher of the New York Observer. He is the co-founder and part owner of Cadre, an online real-estate investment platform.
During the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, he helped develop and run Trump's digital media strategy. On January 9, 2017, Kushner was named as a senior White House advisor. He consequently resigned as CEO of Kushner Companies and as publisher of the Observer, and his extensive private financial interests have become clearer following updates to the disclosure forms that he filed upon entering the federal government.
Kushner had four meetings with Russians during the 2016 campaign and presidential transition, but denies that any of those Russian contacts was improper or involved any collusion. On July 24, 2017, he issued an eleven-page statement detailing those contacts, and said: "Donald Trump had a better message and ran a smarter campaign and that is why he won. Suggesting otherwise ridicules those who voted for him."
