Trump and Putin, behind the scenes

And yet another one whose memory suddenly and mysteriously fails multiple times in relation to contacts with Russia..

Jared Kushner insists he's got nothing to hide when it comes to Russia. Yet he keeps failing to disclose things that raise real questions about whether he tried to collude with Moscow during the campaign — and whether he's been trying to cover it up ever since. Just last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee notified Kushner’s attorneythat Kushner had failed to provide them with some vital emails regarding their investigation into possible collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and Moscow.

Those emails indicate that Kushner knew about multiple attempts by Russian officials to get in touch with the Trump campaign in 2016. They also indicate that he knew Donald Trump Jr. had secretly corresponded with WikiLeaks, the radical transparency organization that released emails during the campaign season stolen from the Democratic National Committee's servers. In July, Kushner had told congressional investigators that he couldn’t recall any communication between the campaign and WikiLeaks — an assertion that’s at odds with what the committee now knows. 

This is far from the first time that crucial pieces of information about Kushner’s Russia ties or business holdings seem to have mysteriously escaped his memory. He failed to include the names of more than 100 foreign officials whom he met with in the years before joining the White House on his application for national security clearance — including top Russian officials.

He’s had to change his financial disclosure forms detailing his divestment from his business empire at least 39 times. He’s neglected to mention the Russian technology magnate that owns a stake in a company he co-owns. And when he offers explanations for the oversights, they’re loaded with deflections such as when he said that a busy schedule and email overload made it hard for him to remember communications with foreign officials.

Here’s a brief guide to all of the things Kushner has conveniently forgotten — and that special counsel Robert Mueller may wind up grilling him about.
