'Javanka': New book details the perils of crossing Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner
When Mark Corallo, then the spokesman for President Donald Trump’s legal team, declined an offer to take over as the White House communications director in the summer of 2017, Jared Kushner reportedly refused to take 'no' for an answer.
Soon after, amid an onslaught of negative press coverage calling his integrity into question, Corallo reportedly received a call from a reporter who informed him that a Kushner aide had been dispatched to"[thrash him] all over town.
"We’d just be sitting there awkwardly, like, Okay, well, we can’t really talk until she leaves," Corallo told Ward, adding,"They were reckless." The book also attempts to sheds new light on the scramble within the White House to explain the genesis of a controversial meeting at Trump Tower between high ranking members of the Trump campaign and an ensemble of Russians in June of 2016, which has since emerged as an area of intense interest for investigators seeking to determine whether the Trump campaign worked in concert with agents of the Russian government to impact the election.
According to the book, as the debate raged on over the Fourth of July weekend about how to address Trump Jr.’s statement to The Times, Kushner’s attorney was working behind the scenes to abdicate Kushner of wrongdoing by throwing Trump Jr. in front of the growing scandal.
