Federal and congressional investigators are now examining what exactly Mr. Kushner and the Russian banker, Sergey N. Gorkov, wanted from each other. The banker is a close associate of Mr. Putin, but he has not been known to play a diplomatic role for the Russian leader. That has raised questions about why he was meeting with Mr. Kushner at a crucial moment in the presidential transition, according to current and former officials familiar with the investigations.

CNN: Russians Discussed ‘Derogatory’ Info They Had On Trump During Campaign

Excerpt:
The U.S. intelligence community intercepted conversations between Kremlin officials who boasted of having potentially “derogatory” information about Donald Trump and his advisers during the 2016 campaign, CNN reported Tuesday.

CNN’s report cited two unnamed former intelligence officials and a congressional source, one of whom indicated that the “derogatory” information was financial. The sources noted it was unclear if the Russians’ claims were legitimate or if, knowing their communications were monitored, they had intentionally tried to mislead U.S. officials.

Trump campaign associates’ financial dealings have become a part of both the federal and congressional investigations into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election. The Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit, which specializes in money laundering, has provided records to the Senate Intelligence Committee and FBI about the business ties of both Trump and his aides. Trump son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner is also under scrutiny for a meeting he had with the head of a state-run Russian bank sanctioned by the U.S.

One source told CNN that the Russians whose conversations were intercepted believed “they had the ability to influence the administration through the derogatory information.”

The White House denied that any such communications occurred. […]

H/T: Talking Points Memo (TPM)

Yes. I heard about it via "Morning Joe" this morning.

And if I'm not mistaken(?) I believe it was reported on MSNBC about an hour ago that another resignation may be on the way, if not today in the next few days.

We shall see.

Yep. I'm with you on that my friend. Jared is Trump's "stooge" (much in the same way Trump is Putin's "stooge"). And I do believe that Jared knows where ALL the *bodies* are buried (so to speak).

Hey Truth Jared is not going anywhere because he is the stooge that is doing all the dirty work for Trump. So when all the guilt comes out Trump can look like the innocent little angel who didn't know what everybody around him was doing. Jared is also probably the only person who knows everything and can bring Trump down with information, so Trump is going to keep him close. Jared was trying to set up that back channel and make all kind of big money deals for he and Trump and everybody knows it. The only people who don't is Trump who thinks we don't know better.
