NEW: House Oversight Cmte. Chairman Cummings says in letter to WH counsel that Jared Kushner's attorney said in a Dec. 2018 meeting that Kushner "has been using the messaging application WhatsApp as part of his official White House duties to communicate with foreign leaders."
Kushner's attorney said that Kushner takes screenshots of the WhatsApp communications and "forwards them to his official White House email account or to the National Security Council," according to Chairman Cummings' letter.
When asked whether Kushner has ever used WhatsApp to discuss classified information, Kushner's attorney replied, "That's above my pay grade," Chairman Cummings says in letter to White House counsel.

Cummings requests more info by April 4.

Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, uses an unofficial online messaging service for official White House business, including with foreign contacts.

I'm so sick of this grifting little traitor.

House Oversight Committee Chairman @RepCummings demands documents on Jared Kushner's alleged use of an encrypted app for official business by April 4 and has signaled that he may issue subpoenas if the White House refuses to comply.
#Maddow
But their emails. Seven members of Trump’s team have used unofficial communications tools: Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, Gary Cohn, Stephen Miller, and KT McFarland.

Trump himself refuses to adhere secure comms rules.

>>> 🚨Overruling the CIA, Trump directly ordered COS John Kelly to grant his son-in-law Jared #Kushner a TOP-SECRET security clearance. (Sometimes mobsters do give direct orders; shocking a US General followed them) nytimes.com/2019/02/28/us/… h/t @yashar
Trump’s decision so troubled senior administration officials that COS John Kelly wrote a contemporaneous internal memo to document he had been ORDERED to give #Kushner the top-secret security clearance. WH counsel McGahn also wrote a memo of CIA & others' concerns about Kushner.
Ivanka's truth quotient: ZERO:
>> "The president had no involvement pertaining to my clearance or my husband's clearance—zero”

(NYT reports today Trump "ordered" Kelly to overrule CIA and grant Kushner top-secret security clearance. See above)

Let’s talk about Jared #Kushner: son-in-law & senior adviser to 45, wife to The Scientist, son to a scumbag convicted felon, head of a failing RE company, recidivist SF-86 liar, and traitor to his country.

[THREAD]
1/ It can be tempting to regard Jared Kushner as a little twerp, an undeserving nebbish who bought his way into Harvard yet somehow gets to boink Ivanka and also run the country. Let’s put that stupid narrative aside.
2/ Kushner is arguably the most egregious lawbreaker & evildoer in all of Trump’s Cell Bock D of an administration. He is more criminal mastermind than schlemiel. Not a GOOD criminal mastermind, but still. What is already publicly known is enough to convict him many times over.
