Former Trump White House adviser Kellyanne Conway has said that Donald Trump should keep his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, far away from the campaign trail if Trump makes another presidential run in 2024 — and accused Kushner of profiting “handsomely” from his four years in the West Wing.
Conway, who helmed the 45th president’s successful 2016 White House run, mocked reports that Kushner has said he is through with politics, calling that statement a “convenient way of saying, ‘Don’t hold me responsible for all the authority I gave myself.’”
“It’s become incredibly convenient for Jared to not be given responsibility for that 2020 debacle of a campaign, to not take responsibility for, frankly, not being there for his father-in-law now the way that he insisted on being there for five straight years until things didn’t really work out,” Conway said in an interview with the Washington Times published Wednesday.
Conway, who also trashed Kushner in her recent memoir “Here’s the Deal,” added: “There’s nobody who’s profited more handsomely from Donald Trump’s presidency than Jared Kushner,” referring to reports that the Saudi government invested $2 billion in the private equity firm Kushner started after leaving government service.
