“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER

This follows a pattern of several other Trump associates withholding information about Kremlin conversations that happened during the campaign. Lying on an SF-86 form — which grants security clearance to top federal workers — is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Kushner’s statement said he had four contacts with Russians during the campaign, and that none was “improper.”Jared Kushner sought $500M loan from Qatar-based investor The first came in April 2016, during an event at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., where he met Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. They shook hands and “exchanged brief pleasantries,” Kushner wrote. Kushner said he “could not recall” two previously reported calls with Kislyak between April and November of 2016, and wrote that he was “highly skeptical” the calls took place. “In fact, on November 9, the day after the election, I could not even remember the name of the Russian Ambassador,” he wrote. Kushner also received an email from the screenname “Guccifer400” in late October threatening to reveal Trump’s undisclosed tax returns and demanding 52 bitcoins. Kushner alerted a Secret Service agent about the email, who suggested Kushner “ignore it and not reply," he said.Jared Kushner attended a June 2016 meeting between Trump campaign members and a Russian lawyer.(Theodore Parisienne for New York Daily News) A Trump Tower meeting with Kislyak, Kushner and Lt.

Kushner’s assistant met with Kislyak on Dec. 12, and at Kislyak’s insistence, Kushner met with Sergei Gorkov, a Russian banker and attorney, one day later. The conversation focused on Russia-U.S. relations, and did not involve sanctions or specific policies, Kushner wrote. “At no time was there any discussion about my companies, business transactions, real estate projects, loans, banking arrangements or any private business of any kind,” he said. Kushner is one of several Trump associates who has lawyered up as the federal investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible Russia ties heats up. He is set to testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday — which, like his Senate testimony, will be private.
