Former national security adviser Susan Rice privately told House investigators that she unmasked the identities of senior Trump officials to understand why the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates was in New York late last year, multiple sources told CNN.
The New York meeting preceded a separate effort by the UAE to facilitate a back-channel communication between Russia and the incoming Trump White House.
Her explanation appears to have satisfied some influential Republicans on the committee and raises new questions about whether any Trump associates tried to arrange back-channel discussions with the Russians.
