A letter from the chair of the House Oversight Committee suggested staffers used personal email addresses to discuss transferring sensitive nuclear tech.
In a letter released publicly on Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings said the committee had obtained documents showing that former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon and former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland discussed transferring sensitive nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia.
"These communications appear to be sent while Mr. Bannon worked at the White House in order to inform Mr. Bannon's official work relating to developing 'broader middle east policy,'" the letter read. Cummings's letter suggested the"communications raise questions about whether these officials complied with the Presidential Records Act and whether the White House identified this personal email use during its internal review and took steps to address it."
Lowell said, according to the letter, that Kushner wasn't violating records preservation laws because he sends screenshots to his official White House email address.
