By Associated Press Published JULY 24, 2017 9:27 AM
President Donald Trumps son-in-law says he received a random email during the presidential campaign from someone claiming to have Trumps tax returns and demanding ransom to keep the information secret.
Jared Kushner says he interpreted the email as a hoax. Kushner says the email came from a person going by the name Guccifer400. The name is an apparent reference to Guccifer 2.0, an anonymous hacker who has claimed responsibility for breaking into the Democratic National Committees computer systems.
Kushner says the emailer demanded payment in Bitcoin, an online currency. Kushner says he showed the email to a Secret Service agent, who told him to ignore it. Kushner disclosed the details of the email ahead of a closed-door interview Monday with a Senate committee investigating Russias meddling in the 2016 election.
