Thursday 7 July 2022 02:48 PM Kellyanne Conway says Trump should drop son-in-law Jared if he runs for ... trends now
Kellyanne Conway said former President Donald Trump should drop his son-in-law Jared Kushner if he runs for president again in 2024.
In an interview published Wednesday with The Washington Times, Conway said Kushner was trying to 'wash his hands' of responsibility for the 2020 election loss, while earning billions through his ties to the ex-president.
'There's nobody who's profited more handsomly from Donald Trump's presidency than Jared Kushner,' Conway said.

'Jared should not work in the White House,' she added.

After leaving the White House and moving to Miami, Kushner didn't get involved in the 2020 election challenges and instead formed a private equity firm that reportedly received a $2 billion investiment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.
'If you believe the news reports ... he's gotten billion of dollars for his [investment] fund,' Conway said.
At the same time, Kushner and other campaign advisers wasted Trump's $1.4 billion campaign war chest, Conway said.
'The people who are responsible for wasting the $1.4 billion and not getting the job done, we have not held them to account,' the former counselor to the president said.
