Jared Kushner Is a "Dead Man Walking" In The White House
Hope Hicks won’t likely be the last one out the door of this White House. And according to political consultant Rick Wilson, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner will be next.
“I don’t think there’s a tenable path for Jared Kushner to stay in the White House. That’s just because he’s under multiple investigations from state and federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies,” said Wilson.
“I think he’s pretty much a dead man walking at this point.”
Wilson pointed to rumors the President wants Chief of Staff John Kelly to get rid of both Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Kushner at one point had clearance for classified information and unfettered access to the President. In the past few weeks, though, he had his security privileges stripped, and now it seems as though he has one foot out the door.
Speculation is also swirling about the exit of Gary Cohn, Trump’s top economic adviser. The former Goldman Sachs COO voiced strong opposition to the President’s proposed steel and aluminium tariffs.
But Wilson thinks Cohn might stick it out for a little longer. According to one of Wilson’s sources, Cohn “wants to help do a banking deal with the Senate.” Wilson didn’t have further details about the deal.
President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, have kicked off the first White House Easter Egg Roll since before the coronavirus pandemic, welcoming 30,000 kids and adults for the all-day event.
