Gorelick made the following statements in an email regarding her decision to no longer represent Jared Kushner:
While Kushner’s decision to obtain an attorney in light of the investigation is wise, the likelihood of the matter even making it to a courthouse is highly improbable. At this point, the media is desperately splitting hairs in the hopes of proving a groundless conspiracy theory tying the President or his family to colluding with Russia to sway the 2016 Presidential election. Attending a meeting with a Russian lawyer is not a crime. Like the plethora of attempts employed by the media to dismantle the Trump administration, this too shall pass.
