JARED KUSHNER AND IVANKA TRUMP STARTED BLAMING THE PRESIDENT IN ORDER TO SAVE THEMSELVES, WOLFF'S BOOK CLAIMSBY ZOLA RAY ON 1/4/18 AT 4:14 PM
While researching for his tell-all book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, Michael Wolff found out that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner often placed blame on President Donald Trump for White House decisions like the firing of FBI director James Comey, the author wrote for The Hollywood Reporter Thursday morning.
By July, Jared and Ivanka, who had, in less than six months, traversed from socialite couple to royal family to the most powerful people in the world, were now engaged in a desperate dance to save themselves, which mostly involved blaming Trump himself, Wolff wrote. It was all his idea to fire Comey! Wolff added a remark from former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon: The daughter will bring down the father."
The White House had staffers who butted headsamong them Kushner, Ivanka and Bannon.

Comey so that their family's money laundering activities wouldn't be discovered. That is in the book too.
