Politico reporter Annie Karni cast objectivity aside Monday in her report on Jared Kushner’s 11-pages of prepared remarks for the Senate Intelligence Committee. In Kushner’s first public explanation of contacts he made with Russian government officials, Karni’s commentary treats Kushner’s guilt as a foregone conclusion and frames his remarks as an endeavor to “downplay” or acquit himself of collusion.
Karni describes Kushner as President Donald Trump’s “powerful son-in-law,” who in his public remarks “attempt to exonerate himself” and “blames” his assistant for the “glaring omissions” on his security clearance forms.
The prepared remarks were framed as Kushner “paint[ing] a picture of himself as a loyal, overworked, under-experienced senior adviser to his father-in-law during a novice campaign that was never staffed up to win.”
It Sure Looks Like Politico Already Thinks Kushner Is Guilty
