JARED KUSHNER IS "RESEARCHING" THE CORONAVIRUS, WILL TELL THE GOVERNMENT WHAT TO DO SOON

Politico reports that the first son-in-law has taken time out of his busy schedule solving peace in the Middle East to devote his considerable talents to the coronavirus.

At the White House, some of Trump’s closest aides have debated whether an emergency declaration is needed to ensure those resources are available. But they have yet to make a recommendation to Trump, according to the people familiar with the situation. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar is pushing for the designation.

Vice President Mike Pence, who Trump tapped to lead the administration’s coronavirus response, doesn’t want Trump to act until Congress passes a stimulus package, according to two of the people.

There’s no deadline for a decision, but one of the people familiar with the talks said the task force will not give Trump its final verdict until Jared Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, finishes his research and comes to a conclusion himself.

"What I would encourage people to do is try to divorce yourself from all of the history that’s happened over the years and read this plan.”

“I’ve been getting criticized for the last couple of years by all the people who have tried and failed for not doing this the same way they have, okay?”

“If somebody was successful I wouldn’t be dealing with this, and I wouldn’t have this additional responsibility to the other things I have. I think that people should try to be optimistic.”

“I’ve read 25 books on it.”

— Jared Kushner, on the conflict in the Middle East
