Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump Put Blame On President

JARED KUSHNER AND IVANKA TRUMP STARTED BLAMING THE PRESIDENT IN ORDER TO SAVE THEMSELVES, WOLFF'S BOOK CLAIMS

BY 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 heads—among them Kushner, Ivanka and Bannon.

“To say that no one was in charge, that there were no guiding principles, not even a working org chart, would again be an understatement,” Wolff wrote, stating that many cabinet members looked at the others and wondered, "What do these people do?"

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