News reports said the White House, reeling from the explosive developments in the long-running Russian Federation saga, is creating a new rapid-fire communications unit to respond to the controversy, led by Kushner, senior presidential adviser Steve Bannon and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.
Back-channel communication with foreign nations of the type that White House adviser Jared Kushner reportedly sought with the Russian government are "the regular course of business", counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday morning. He is respected by everyone and is working on programs that will save our country billions of dollars.
Trump believed he was facing more of a communications problem than a legal one, despite the intensifying inquiries, one person familiar with his thinking told the AP.
According to the Times, that meeting has come under increasing scrutiny from investigators examining the possibility of collusion between the Russian government and individuals with ties to Trump's 2016 campaign.
The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee cited a Reuters report in calling for an investigation into "potentially fraudulent statements and misrepresentations" in marketing materials for a Kushner Companies real estate project, which suggested investors might be able to obtain U.S. green cards.
Trump returned to Washington late Saturday after a nine-day trip to the Middle East and Europe, his first trip overseas as president. "I think it makes no sense that the Russian ambassador would report back to Moscow on a channel that he most likely knows we're monitoring". "What that allows you to do is communicate in a discreet manner so I'm not concerned".

In interviews Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said he did not know if the reports are true.

President Donald Trump is considering overhauling his White House staff and bringing back top campaign strategists.
Even when authorized, top officials in the Trump White House frequently request anonymity to brief reporters "on background", meaning their names will not be disclosed. "You have to ask, well, who are they hiding the conversation from?" he said on ABC.
"It's both normal, in my opinion, and acceptable", Kelly said.
"My dashboard warning light was clearly on", Clapper said.
The President also has an unusual ally coming to his defense in former presidential rival Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. "They are in to do us in".
