Jared Kushner gave copy of Putin-approved U.S.-Russia reconciliation plan to Rex Tillerson: MuellerReport
President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner accepted a U.S.-Russia reconciliation plan from a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and handed it to then-incoming Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, according to the report by special counsel Robert Mueller that was released on Thursday.
Nevertheless, new details have emerged from the report about Russian efforts to sway the foreign policy of the incoming Trump administration in favor of Russia. Over the past year of the investigation, questions have been raised about why Trump ally Erik Prince met with the CEO of a Russian sovereign wealth fund Kirill Dmitriev in the Seychelles in January 2017.
“Dmitriev and Kushner's friend collaborated on a short written reconciliation plan for the United States and Russia, which Dmitriev implied had been cleared through Putin. The friend gave that proposal to Kushner before the inauguration, and Kushner later gave copies to Bannon and incoming Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,” the report continues.
“Dmitriev asked a close business associate who worked for the United Arab Emirates royal court, George Nader, to introduce him to Trump transition officials, and Nader eventually arranged a meeting in the Seychelles between Dmitriev and Erik Prince, a Trump Campaign supporter and an associate of Steve Bannon,” the report reads. “Nader developed contacts with both U.S. presidential campaigns during the 2016 election, and kept Dmitriev abreast of his efforts to do so.
