EXCLUSIVE: Jared Kushner’s private channel with Putin’s money man revealed https://www.thedailybeast.com/jared-kushners-private-channel-with-putins-money-man-kirill-dmitriev
There's a ton of news in this @ErinBanco joint, starting with the fact that Jared Kushner facilitated a shipment of Russian ventilators to NYC at the height of the pandemic there. The ventilators later caught fire, and were sent away. https://www.thedailybeast.com/jared-kushners-private-channel-with-putins-money-man-kirill-dmitriev?ref=home
There's also personal vindication for @ErinBanco here. For months, Russia Direct Investment Fund CEO Kirill Dmitriev gaslit her. He claimed her was reporting was wrong—he had nothing to do with Putin. Turns out Putin *personally dispatched* Dmitriev to make inroads w Team Trump.
Erin also chronicles Trump's reaction to the idea of selling Javelin missiles to the Ukrainians. "'Are you out of your fucking mind? Why are we giving them anything?'" he said, according to one former senior official. https://www.thedailybeast.com/jared-kushners-private-channel-with-putins-money-man-kirill-dmitriev
