According to the Washington Examiner, It was disclosed that a journalist from the New York Times contacted the FBI about Jared Kushner meeting with Russians, a newly published email show.
Journalist Michael Schmidt sent an email to Assistant Public Affairs Director of the FBI, Michael Kortan, on 23 March 2017.
THE EMAIL :
“Wanted to flag you on something. Three of my colleagues are working on a story about the Russia investigation. They’re told that Jared Kushner is among the individuals who the F.B.I. is scrutinizing for their meetings with Russians,” Schmidt said. “My colleagues were told that Ambassador Kislyak, after meeting Kushner and General Flynn in early December at Trump Tower, set up a meeting with Kushner and a Russian banker. Kushner ultimately met with the Russian banker. The banker worked for Alpha Bank. Thanks. Mike.”
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch acquired the email, published in reaction to a U.S. court order issued on May 21. District Judge Reggie Walton brought 13,000 pages of documents to the FBI to process. Judicial Watch release on Thursday, alleging “FBI-media collusion,” also disclosed relationships between the FBI and other media outlets.
President Donald Trump tweeted that the “FAILING” New York Times colluded with the FBI against him:
Just revealed that the Failing and Desperate New York Times was feeding false stories about me, & those associated with me, to the FBI. This shows the kind of unprecedented hatred I have been putting up with for years with this Crooked newspaper. Is what they have done legal?…
