Jared Kushner (2) China’s Trump Card ; 'tried and failed to get a $500m loan from Qatar before pushing Trump to take hard line against country'庫什納涉俄比想像中深; his life in the coming months and maybe years will be a study in misery

“There’s nobody else there in the room to verify what was said and what wasn’t, so the Chinese can go back and claim anything,” a former senior U.S. official said about Kushner's closed door meetings with Chinese officials. “I’m sorry, Jared—do you think your background is going to allow you to be able to outsmart the Chinese Ambassador?”
How the President’s son-in-law, despite his inexperience in diplomacy and his lack of security clearance, became Beijing’s primary point of interest.

"通俄門"新進展:庫什納涉俄比想像中深
特朗普女婿庫什納被美國聯邦調查局列為調查目標後,知情人士再爆料,庫什納與俄駐美大使的關係比想像中更複雜。而克里姆林宮和華盛頓據稱也都有"新動作"應對指控。
(德國之聲中文網)白宮兩名知情人告訴路透社,特朗普競選期間,庫什納與俄駐美大使基斯利亞克(Sergej Kisljak )至少有過兩次電話接觸,但沒有對外公佈。
先後有6名知情者稱,兩人的通話圍繞打擊恐怖主義、改善美俄之間經濟關係等議題。
報導還指,庫什納的律師表示,其當事人不記得分別在2016年4月和11月與俄駐美大使的兩次談話內容。這位律師解釋說,"競選期間,庫什納先生進行過數千會談。"
兩位知情人又指,基斯利亞克在去年11月8日特朗普勝選後,與庫什納及當時的美國國家安全顧問邁克爾·弗林有過接觸。庫什納曾向基斯利亞克提議,與克里姆林宮建立一條可防竊聽的秘密溝通渠道。
《華盛頓郵報》在周五的相關報導中引述接受情報部門簡報的美國官員的話稱,任特朗普顧問的庫什納甚至還提議,利用俄羅斯在美國的外交設施保護這個溝通渠道不被監聽。
報導指,庫什納與俄羅斯官員之間的關係非比尋常,其在"通俄門"事件中扮演的角色可能比外界想像的更加複雜。
美國聯邦調查局拒絕就調查置評。俄羅斯大使館表示,原則上不對官員的個人外交接觸發表意見。美國總統辦公室暫時也未作表態。
俄羅斯欲換駐美大使
持續發酵的"通俄門"令白宮和克里姆林宮受到極大壓力。中國多家媒體報導,為了改善俄美關係,俄羅斯計劃更換俄駐美大使。報導引述俄媒消息稱,本週俄聯邦委員會國際委員會以閉門方式討論人選更替議題。據稱,俄有意任命該國外交部副部長阿納托利·安東諾夫為俄新任駐美大使。
特朗普大廈藏著多少秘密?
成立"特別​​工組小組"
此外,消息人士透露,特朗普準備籌建一個特別工組小組應對"通俄門"的指控。白宮未來將系統性的針對特朗普與俄羅斯"有染"的指控做出回應。特別小組的成員包括特朗普的主要戰略顧問史蒂芬·班農和白宮幕僚長普利巴斯(普利巴斯)等內閣要員。政策制定專家和律師團隊也在成員之列。
