Scavino may have corresponded with Russian nationals regarding Trump campaign social media efforts
- Sen. Diane Feinstein
President Donald Trump’s social-media manager, Dan Scavino, “may have corresponded with Russian nationals regarding Trump campaign social media efforts,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) wrote Wednesday in a letter asking Scavino to agree to an interview this month with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Feinstein’s letter says the committee, where she is the ranking Democrat, has “received information” regarding Scavino’s potential communications with Russians. The California senator did not elaborate.
During the now infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting where Donald Trump Jr. hoped to obtain damaging information on Hillary Clinton from a Russia lawyer, Rob Goldstone, the British publicist who helped arrange the sit-down, reportedly suggested that the Trump campaign create a page on a Russian social-media site to connect with Russian Americans. After the meeting, Goldstone emailed Scavino, who was not at the meeting, to press him to pursue the idea, CNN reported. A Feinstein spokesman did not respond to questions about whether Goldstone’s suggestion or other information formed the basis for the claim in her letter.
Scavino, a former golf caddie of Trump’s who acts as a vociferous and aggressive alter ego for the president on Twitter, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
