Washington – Following the death of a counterprotester at a demonstration by white nationalists in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which President Donald Trump said there was blame on “both sides,” White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump defended his statements.

“My dad’s not a racist; he didn’t mean any of it,” the president’s oldest daughter said in a conversation with Gary Cohn, Trump’s chief economic adviser, who like her is Jewish. “That’s not what he said.”
Ivanka Trump’s comments came after the president initially blamed both sides for the violence, a day later condemned the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis, and a day after that said there were “some very fine people” on both sides of a clash that pitted anti-fascist protesters against marchers who had chanted “Jews will not replace us.”
The exchange is chronicled in a book about the rise to power at the White House of Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, which will hit bookstores next week, The New York Times reported.
“Kushner Inc.” is authored by journalist Vicky Ward, who spent two years conducting interviews for the book, according to The Times. She granted many of her 220 subjects anonymity, according to the report. It will be released on March 19.
The book discusses the upbringings of both Ivanka Trump and Kushner and the initial skepticism by the parents on both sides, mostly for religious reasons, about their marriage, according to The Times. Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism before marrying Kushner, the grandson of Holocaust survivors, who was raised in a Modern Orthodox home in Livingston, New Jersey.
It talks about the president’s waxing and waning desire for the couple to leave Washington, D.C., alleging that he at one point urged his then Chief of Staff John Kelly to “Get rid of my kids; get them back to New York.”
Kushner currently serves as a member of the White House team in charge of the Trump administration’s Middle East peace plan that is expected to be rolled out shortly after Israel’s national elections on April 9.
The Kushners and the White House have already issued denials.
“Every point that Ms. Ward mentioned in what she called her ‘fact checking’ stage was entirely false,” Kushner’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, relayed in a statement. “It seems she has written a book of fiction rather than any serious attempt to get the facts. Correcting everything wrong would take too long and be pointless.”
In a statement to People magazine, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said, “It’s sad, but not surprising, the media would spend time promoting a book based on shady anonymous sources and false information instead of all the incredible work Jared and Ivanka are doing for the country.”
A jealous author. Like most liberals they hate the fact that ivanka and Jared are respected upstanding people, They are strong family men/ women, great mom and dad, polished, inclusive etc… yes everything trump is not they are. Yet they get trumpism and support the president in full. They almost vindicate him and his downsides.
Liberals can’t stand a classy upstanding influential trump supporter. So they resort to what they know best. Fake news and belittlement
(Gateway Pundit) – A report at The Specator on Friday claims dirty cop Robert Mueller met with Attorney General Bob Barr and the two agreed that President Trump’s children should be indicted.
The report goes on to say that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his 13 angry Democrats also want President Trump to be indicted but that Barr pushed back on this.
Author and attorney Sidney Powell spoke about this during her interview on the Mark Levin Show on FOX News.
Sidney Powell is an expert of Department of Justice corruption and has followed the career of Democrat hatchetman Andrew Weissmann who has destroyed thousands of lives during his career as federal prosecutor only to see his cases overturned years later by superior court rulings.
Sidney Powell wrote LICENSED TO LIE: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice after seeing a core group of federal prosecutors break all the rules, make up crimes, hide evidence, and send innocent people to prison in the Enron case.
Sidney warned that the report, which will likely be authored by Andrew Weissmann, will destroy Trump. That is the goal and that is why Democrats are looking forward to its
(Gateway Pundit) – A 2016 DOJ criminal investigation was suppressed and buried by the DOJ/FBI that involved a major NY Democratic power broker and the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation.
The investigation revolved around the illegal sale of controlled US Homeland Security technology to Russia and China in the years before the 2016 election by a company named AGT International.
The DOJ terminated its internal investigation in 2016 despite clear and irrefutable evidence of criminal activity and hid it from the public!
In Part I of our series we discussed the Clinton Foundation and the donations to the Foundation from the COB (Martin L. Edelman) and CEO (Mati Kochavi) of AGT International as well as from Sheikhs in the UAE. These donations in the millions of dollars were for favors from the Clintons, in return the Clintons helped promote AGT International.
In Part II of our series we discussed the illegal actions that AGT Intern took to generate revenues around the globe. Highly sensitive US defense technology and ITAR controlled products were provided and sold to China, Russia and other countries in the name of sales growth.These actions were beyond criminal, they were treason
How do you spell N E P O T I S M?
The rotten seed doesn’t fall far from the smelly tree.
lvanka And Jared are two people that Trump trusts and also do what he wants and are on his side. That is what make them top people.
Leftist Jew haters of course are now going after the Jews in the Trump administration
Jared is good for the Jews!!!!!!!
That JFK made his brother attorney general is not the blatant nepotism that it may appear to be. Bobby Kennedy was JFK’s campaign manager and trusted adviser, and was fully qualified for the job; many presidents would make such a person Attorney General. I understand that it seems unwise, but was absolutely not in any way illegal at that time. I believe that there are more recent laws that would prohibit that appointment.
I think the two of them are capable of helping Trump but they are given tasks way outside their expertise. Kushner could help with an infrastructure plan as well as with new job training initiative, etc. Instead they give him international trade, Mexico, drugs epidemic, criminal justice reform and the Middle East. He did get criminal justice reform done. He gets full credit more so than the President.
