Senators say Kushner didn't turn over emails about WikiLeaks, Russia overture ABC News, Nov 16, 2017

...
In a letter circulated to media outlets, chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and ranking member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Kushner failed to provide the committee with all the documents requested as part of their investigation into Russian election interference.
...
On Thursday, Grassley and Feinstein referenced “several documents that are known to exist” that Kushner did not previously turn over to the committee.
...
Those documents, they said, include an email to Kushner about WikiLeaks that he forwarded to another campaign official, another regarding a “Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite” Kushner also forwarded, and “communications” with Belorussian-American businessman Sergei Millian.
...
Grassley and Feinstein also asked Kushner to turn over phone records and documents related to Kushner’s security clearance and President Trump.

“You also raised concerns that certain documents might implicate the President’s Executive Privilege and declined to produce those documents,” they wrote. “We ask that you work with White House counsel to resolve any questions of privilege so that you can produce the documents that have been requested.”

Lowell, Kushner's attorney, tells ABC News, "Mr. Kushner and we have been responsive to all requests. We provided the Judiciary Committee with all relevant documents that had to do with Mr. Kushner's calls, contacts or meetings with Russians during the campaign and transition, which was the request.” ...

To his attorney, did you read The letter from the Senate?
Likewise, other parties have produced documents concerning а "Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite" which Mr. Kushner also forwarded.

The contacts with Millian could be significant because the Belarus-born entrepreneur is alleged to be “Source D” in the anti-Trump dossier written by former British spy Christopher Steele and financed by the Clinton campaign and DNC.

The Wall Street Journal and ABC News reported back in January, just after the dossier was published, that Millian, whose real name is Siarhei Kukuts, was “Source D” and “Source E” in the document.

The source is described in different parts of the dossier as “a close associate of Trump” and “an ethnic Russian close associate of Trump.”

If Millian is indeed the dossier source, he would be responsible for some of the most salacious allegations in the report. “Source D” is cited in Steele’s June 20, 2016 memo as claiming that the Kremlin has blackmail material on Trump stemming from his visit to Moscow in 2013. The source also claimed that Russian intelligence had been “very helpful” to the Trump campaign.

The dossier cites “Source E,” who is also alleged to be Millian, as saying in July 2016 that there was a “well-developed conspiracy of co-operation” between the Trump campaign and Russian leadership.
