Kinzinger: ‘Nothing Illegal’ About Jared Kushner Meeting with the Russian Amb.

EXCERPT:

KINZINGER: “He definitely needs to be accountable to it. The idea of meeting with an ambassador — I’ve met with the Russian ambassador and I’m a pretty strong Russia hawk. That’s why ambassadors are here. I don’t think it’s improper for them to be meeting with an incoming administration. The banking question is something that needs to be answered, especially when you talk about the fact that sanctions were put on to Russia, especially that we had a different president at the time who determined that sanctions were correct and intensifying sanctions, in fact, because of hackings were correct. We have one president at a time so it could possibly be improper to have that meeting, you know, and that’s the information we need to have. There’s probably nothing necessarily illegal about it. There’s nothing illegal about meeting with ambassadors, but I think this goes into the whole question that we all need answers to, the American people are asking for answers to, which is what role did Russia play, if any.”
