Jared Kushner's lawyer can't stop owning himself

Jared Kushner’s lawyer accidentally forwarded an email to a fake Jared Kushner email account today, one that included a letter marked as “committee sensitive” from the Senate Intelligence Committee. The letter, signed by committee chair Richard Burr (R-NC) and vice chair Mark Warner (D-VA), expresses concern about media reports regarding Kushner’s use of a personal email account.

This is the second time that Abbe Lowell, a partner at Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, who began representing Kushner in June, has fallen for a prankster who calls himself SINON_REBORN (a reference to the original legend of the Trojan Horse). Two days ago he corresponded with kushner.jared@mail.com, as the fake Jared Kushner asked for legal advice on whether to remove correspondence on his private email account that featured “adult content.” Fortunately for Lowell, the conversation didn’t go far, ending with, “Don’t delete. Don’t send to anyone. Let’s chat in a bit.”

THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT LOWELL’S MAIL CLIENT AUTOCOMPLETED TO THE FAKE KUSHNER MAIL ADDRESS

But today, things went somewhat awry. We don’t know exactly what happened, but the most likely scenario is that Lowell’s mail client autocompleted to the fake Kushner email address, landing a sensitive letter right in the prankster’s inbox. SINON_REBORN then reposted the letter on Twitter.
