That testimony appears to contradict a letter from the Senate Judiciary Committee this week disclosing that Kushner had received an email in 2016 from Donald Trump Jr. about contact the president's eldest son had with the anti-secrecy website.

According to CNN, a source familiar with Kushner's testimony in July said he answered lawmakers' questions accurately and did not recall whether anyone else on the campaign was in contact with WikiLeaks.

The revelation that Kushner was aware of Trump Jr.'s contacts with WikiLeaks came days after the president's eldest son confirmed that he had communicated with the group and released the messages they exchanged in the months before the November 2016 election.
