The Washington Post reported Friday that Kislyak told his superiors that he and Kushner discussed setting up a back channel between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin.
The White House in March confirmed that Kushner and Kislyak met at Trump Tower in December for what one official called a brief courtesy meeting.
McMaster adds, “we have back channel communications with a number of countries.”
He says, “it allows you to communicate in a discreet manner.”
