Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have used three private email accounts to send and receive emails on matters related to official White House business, Politico reported Monday.

In addition to having their own separate private email accounts, the couple also has a joint account that they both had access to and shared with their personal staff for scheduling purposes, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke with Politico.

The third account is now being examined by White House officials. The emails sent and received by the account reportedly included the couple’s travel documents, internal White House schedules and some official materials. Many of the emails were sent to the private account through Ivanka Trump’s official White House email address and her assistant Bridges Lamar’s White House account, Politico reported.

The couple has been using the joint email to share work-related “data” on a daily basis since they arrived at the White House, one source said.

The White House is already reviewing the couple’s use of separate private email accounts for some official business. Politico reported in September that other current and former White House staffers used private accounts for government business.

A family representative told Politico that Trump has been careful about separating her personal life from work and that all of her emails have been preserved on her White House account.

A White House spokesperson said the staff had been told to make sure they’re saving emails on their official accounts. Kushner’s lawyer Abbe Lowell said Kushner had sent fewer than 100 emails from his private account and that most exchanges on that server were initiated by the other person.

  1. What was that phrase the Trumpanzees chanted all through the election?

  2. Lock them up. Very nasty people.

  3. Trump has been careful about separating her personal life from work

    “no, no, don’t mail the check to me at work - send it to my home address. Goodbye President Putin.”

    most exchanges on that server were initiated by the other person.

    Humm. Seems I remember another email system where items initiated by another person caused trouble for the recipient. Anyone else remember?

  4. Well, of course they did.

    Not expecting any faux outrage soon. After all, it’s only a problem if you’re a Democrat. Republicans, especially Trumpians, would never do anything to damage the country or put it at risk.
