Amid scrutiny over personal email use, Kushner reportedly re-routed accounts to the Trump Organization
Internet registration records show that shortly after Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's private internet domain became public, with the news that they had corresponded with White House colleagues using personal email accounts, those accounts were re-routed to computers run by the Trump Organization, USA Today reports.
In late September, after Special Counsel Robert Mueller requested the White House send over records for the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, it came out that President Trump's son-in-law and daughter, both senior advisers, used private email to conduct work business. The email accounts were re-routed a few days later. A spokesman for the couple told USA Today their accounts never passed through or resided in the Trump Organization's email server, and for security reasons, they used a "filtering system" to block viruses and malware.
