Wednesday 8 June 2022 06:34 PM Ivanka and Jared Kushner did NOT believe election was stolen and abandoned ... trends now

Jared Kushner's interest in Florida real estate and Middle East peace in the last days of 2020 coincided with his own doubts about his father-in-law's insistent claims that he won the election, a new book reveals.

Kushner was an influential advisor inside the Trump White House, with he and his wife Ivanka Trump both often cast as using their unpaid roles as as calming influences.

But Kushner was notably absent during critical periods in the last days of the Trump White House that included the president's effort to overturn the election – and he was overseas when a mob stormed the Capitol following Trump's appearance at a 'Stop the Steal' rally.

On Nov. 5, 2020, within 24 hours of Trump first publicly proclaiming on election Kushner turned to Ivanka and told her, 'We’re moving to Miami, according to the book, The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021, by New York Times reporter Peter Baker and New Yorker reporter Susan Glasser.

According to the book, Kushner came up with a two-to-one formula for packaging bad news that had to be delivered to Trump in meetings or calls. He would balance out the bad news with at least two pieces of good news, sources told the authors. 

But when it came to denying Trump's election defeat, Kushner opted to decamp out of Washington altogether rather than sugar coating the bad news that came in a series of court rulings and certifications by state legislatures.

He considered lawyer Rudy Giuliani's involvement in the overturn effort a 'red flag,' according to the book. 'But instead of fighting Mr. Giuliani for Mr. Trump’s attention, Mr. Kushner opted out entirely, deciding it was time to focus on his own future, one that would no longer involve the White House,' the authors write.

They ended up buying a $32 million mansion in Miami within weeks of Kushner's pronouncement.
