Longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone claims to know the identity of the leaker who provided to The New York Times emails from Donald Trump Jr. about a meeting last year with a Kremlin-linked lawyer promising dirt that could hurt Hillary Clinton. But he's only giving away this person's initials.
Speaking to a gathering at the Capitol Hill Club for Young Republicans, Stone was asked if he knew anything about the Trump Jr. email controversy, which started taking command of headlines over the weekend after the Times first reported on the meeting.
According to Independent Journal Review, someone from American Bridge, a Democratic opposition research group, repeatedly pressed Stone on his knowledge of the leaker. Stone at first said he did know who it was, but was hesitant to reveal a name.
After saying he would not say who it was, Stone finally conceded, "Their initials are J.K."
IJR notes there are at least three high-level officials in the Trump administration with those initials: Jared Kushner, son-in-law to President Trump; Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly; and Jeremy Katz, a deputy assistant to the president.
Kushner was in attendance at the meeting, which took place in June 2016, along with Trump Jr., former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, and the Russian attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Very nice. /golf calp with head nod
John Fiin Kerry!!
Oh wait that’s JFK.
Stone is stirring the pot? Seriously?
I agree.
Thanks..
Stupid is definitely not the word. Naïve? possibly. But not stupid.
I would much rather have a family in the White House who is naïve to the corruption in Washington, as a result of having always done things in a straightforward way, not cheating, totally legit.
Stupid goes for the corrupt liars who, though able to deceive and manipulate, are ultimately the only stupid ones.
yes. Is this another ‘two-martini tweet’ comment from him? or is he pricking interest in his Netflx docu? Or is he tossing red herrings for the fun of it? But stirring the pot, he is.
Fbi nominee says Jr should have reported the emails
Jr is not savvy to all of Dc machinations...on the other hand..manafort should have known
I feel sorry for Jr getting thrown under the bus right now..he isnt even part of DC. Kamala harris is going to call him in..he needs to plead the 5th
the pot was well stirred without a single word out of Stone.
What makes you think that JK are the initials of the leaker? Could be simple misdirection.
Ivanka.. I’d surely hit it but she better not talk because I cannot tolerate her measured oratory style.
I’ve been thinking that IF the Russians were intent on meddling in the election, they would have meddled on BOTH sides. The objective was to destabilize and call into question our election process.
Putin would have played both ends against the middle. He wouldn’t have played this Keystone Kops, Spy vs. Spy scenario. He told Me-gyn Kelly that it didn’t matter who won; Russian policies wouldn’t change.
I finally found it, but I was wrong about the name. Somewhat interesting though. Thanks for the help.

Chance the media is being played? I’m at 65-70% myself.
Axios claiming that trump lawyers want wall between him and kushner on russia. There should be one. Ditto for Jr.
Manafort and Kuchner reported the meeting. Apparently, Trump, Jr. didn’t ... again, he’s not a DC insider, nor does it appear he wants to be (and why would he?). He wants only to support his father.
Nobody reported the emails to the fbi. Fbi nominee says jr should have
Only reporting going on is way after the fact . Kushner has amended his forms three times now.he cant seem to get it right. One problem may be he was relying on gorelick for ethics advice
Different strokes for different folks. I’m attracted to her square face. And she exudes class.
I agree. Tiffany, however, is a Fox.
I agree with you.
Ivanka is stunning.
