White House completely blew off Oversight Committee request for private email use by Kushner

White House ‘completely blew off’ Oversight Committee request for private email use by Kushner and other top aides

The White House on Monday rebuffed an inquiry by House investigators over the use of private email addresses and encrypted messaging apps by members of Donald Trump’s administration, Politico reports.

In a letter to leaders of the House Oversight Committee, President Donald Trump’s Deputy Assistant Marc Short wrote “The White House and covered employees endeavor to comply with all relevant laws,” arguing officials have been directed to comply fully with “applicable record keeping requirements.”

On Sept. 25, Reps. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Elijah Cummings (D-MD) had sent a request to the White House after Politico reported some Trump aides, including Jared Kushner, used a private email account created in tandem with their official White House emails. According to Politico, Kushner occasionally used his private account to conduct government business.
