The Independent attributed it to BuzzFeed, which attributed it to the Daily Beast:

According to a source familiar with the situation, speaking to The Daily Beast on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter, Kushner claims that he did not scan to the bottom of the email thread forwarded by his brother-in-law, therefore completely missing the part about “Russia and its government.”

And from Politico - Tuesday last week:
---snip---
A source close to Manafort told POLITICO on Tuesday that the campaign chairman hadn’t read all the way to the bottom of the email exchanges on his phone and that he didn’t even know who he was meeting with when he attended the 20- to 30-minute session. Kushner’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment.
