Now which one is correct on #Flynn?
Was it KT McFarland as @FoxNews is reporting or is it Jared Kushner as @NBCNews is reporting? pic.twitter.com/UlSYAtXS42

The Case For Kushner:
Jared Kushner is the “very senior member” of President Donald Trump’s transition team who directed incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn to contact the Russian ambassador to the United States and other countries about a UN Security Council vote on Israeli settlements, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.
The court filings from Flynn’s plea hearing Friday say a “very senior member” of Trump’s transition team asked Flynn to contact officials from UN Security Council countries, including Russia, to learn where each country stood on the vote on a resolution condemning Israeli settlement activity.
An attorney for Kushner did not respond to a request for comment.
The Case For KT:
And, @johnrobertsFox says he has a source naming K.T. McFarland as the "senior official" Flynn called on the 29th. pic.twitter.com/aiI6MJzV7F
