Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s policy ace and fixer, said he spent “millions” on legal fees to fend off Democratic attacks during his four years inside the West Wing.
Kushner, promoting his memoir Breaking History, Amazon’s No. 3 bestseller, told top radio interviewer Hugh Hewitt that he was surprised when the Democrats came for him because he had sold off all of the assets he thought would conflict with his job as senior adviser.
“I was making a lot of money beforehand in the private sector. I basically volunteered for four years, didn’t take a salary. I didn’t even take health insurance, because I didn’t want people to say so, I had to buy my own health insurance on the exchange, which turned out to be very, very expensive. All of Trump’s campaign speeches were right about that. And then I had to pay all my legal bills as well,” he recalled.“I had, you know, several hundred assets they told me to sell.
In a humorous aside, he added: “Actually, it was funny, because that morning, you know, I get a call from President Trump at 7:30. I’m in my office, and he says you know, did you read the, you know, how could you do that? I was, like, I didn’t do anything. And he says what do you mean you didn’t do it? This was on the front page of the New York Times. I said wait a minute.
