Kushner's Influence Wanes in the White House
November 21, 2017 at 6:07 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
Gabriel Sherman: “It’s perhaps hard to remember now, but it wasn’t long ago when Trump handed Kushner a comically broad portfolio that included plans to reinvent government, reform the V.A., end the opioid epidemic, run point on China, and solve Middle East peace. But since his appointment, according to sources, Kelly has tried to shrink Kushner’s responsibilities to focus primarily on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And even that brief appears to be creating tensions between Kushner and Kelly.”
“According to two Republicans who have spoken with Trump, the president has also been frustrated with Kushner’s political advice, including his encouragement to back losing Alabama G.O.P. candidate Luther Strange and to fire F.B.I. Director James Comey, which Kushner denies. (For what it’s worth, Kushner’s choice of Strange prevented Trump from the embarrassment of inadvertently supporting Roy Moore.) Trump, according to three people who’ve spoken to him, has advocated for Jared and Ivanka to return to New York in part because they are being damaged by negative press.”
Said one source close to Kushner: “He keeps pressuring them to go.”

clean up or clean out of 1600 or the goddamn west wing. Kelly is a 'blue falcon' ex-general who is still part of the RW excrement stinking up 1600...he, along with all there stinking up the halls of 1600 are encouraged to leave, ASAP.
