Former President Trump’s son-in-law and close aide Jared Kushner got into “staggering, protracted shouting matches” with Trump over the 2020 presidential election and Trump’s unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud, a new book says.
In The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House, New York Times bestselling author Chris Whipple recounts how Kushner fought Trump after the election. He did not believe his father-in-law’s claims of a stolen election and had left Washington, DC for the Middle East to work on the Abraham Accords, a historic peace deal negotiated by the Trump administration.
“With all due respect, I’m not going to like what you’re doing and you’re going to yell at me,” Kushner told the president, according to Whipple.
Whipple’s book reports that Kushner and his wife, Trump’s daughter Ivanka, believed the former president would eventually accept the election results. He dismissed attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, who advised Trump to contest the election, as “clowns” and called them “The Crazy Show.”
