House committee ups pressure on White House in private emails case
House committee ups pressure on White House in private emails case: White House has been called by a Congress committee to provide the details of any aides who have used private emails for official business.
This onslaught of investigation has came after Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kusher admitted doing so. Furthermore the New York Times reported that other aides were also using private email accounts.
The senior adviser Mr Kushner has been asked to preserve all of his emails.
Furthermore, Kushner’s wife and Trump’s daughter is also said to have a private account.
This demand for more information had come in form of a letter from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which was signed by Republican Trey Gowdy and Democrat Elija Cummings.
Addressed to White House Counsel Donald McGahn, it says: “Have you or any non-career official at the White House ever used a personal email account to conduct official business?
“If so, please identify the individual and the account used, and provide evidence of measures to ensure compliance with federal law,” it reads.
The letter has also set a deadline of 9th of Oct for the disclosure of more information.
On the other hand Mr Kushner has said that “fewer than 100 emails” had been sent by him through a private email account.
The New York Times has named the four other staffers implicated as Steve Bannon, the former chief White House strategist; Reince Priebus, the former chief of staff; and advisers Gary D Cohn and Stephen Miller.
On the other hand a Newsweek magazine has said that it has details of an email which Ivanka Trump had sent about collaboration with a business organisation, copying in two federal officials.
