The president’s “favorite” kid might be becoming his problem child.

Ivanka Trump has been defying the stances of her father, President Donald Trump, repeatedly in the past few months, raising questions about whether the child the commander-in-chief once singled out as his favored Trump is now brewing a resistance of her own. And her husband, Jared Kushner, has apparently gotten on Trump’s bad side once again recently, following months of controversies tying him to the Trump-Russia investigations.


Ivanka broke with her father on supporting Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore after the Republican contender faced sexual misconduct accusations from nine women. “There’s a special place in hell for people who prey on children,” Ivanka told the Associated Press after Moore’s accusations were reported.

Kushner, though, has caused far worse headaches for the president. The young real estate magnate failed to file his financial disclosure forms properly, and he even profited by not correctly listing his stake in one technology company earlier this year, Newsweek reported in October.

Kushner’s contacts with Russian officials have also made his national security clearance a sticky issue for an administration mired in accusations of collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign, and he has been interviewed as part of the congressional probes into Russian interference. Kushner also joined Donald Trump Jr. and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort at a secret Trump Tower meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer in June 2016 that has become a focus of the Russia investigations. - Newsweek
