Kremlin statement on nature of meeting between Russian bank oligarch and Jared Kushner directly contradicts white House statement on the same.

 White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday that Kushner met with the bank’s officials in his political capacity.

“He was a conduit and to leaders and that’s until we had a State Department, a functioning place for people to go,” Spicer said.

“Tens of meetings were held and one of these meetings was with Kushner’s company and with him. It is routine business,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in a conference call with reporters.
