Whether or not there is any law violation in Jared Kushner's work with the Trump campaign as reported so far, it's a dangerous line to walk for an administration that has shown itself unwilling and unable to separate official positions from politics.

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is also a senior White House advisor, is regularly giving counsel to 2020 Trump campaign leaders on how to appeal to online donors and where to spend their money. ... As recently as Thursday, Kushner met with campaign leadership, including campaign chief Brad Parscale, along with Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel.

Kushner and Parscale regularly hold strategy sessions on how to improve messaging about Trump’s accomplishments to small-dollar donors, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. Kushner also has pushed for the campaign to spend more money on the digital fundraising operation rather than relying on more traditional methods such as mailers.

Parscale was the campaign’s digital director in 2016. Kushner, as an advisor for Trump’s first presidential run, had the campaign use Facebook and other social media platforms to make pitches to voters.

At the meeting last week, which took place at the Trump campaign headquarters in Virginia, Kushner was briefed on how the campaign’s fundraising strategy has fared in each state throughout the second quarter, these people added. The gathering took place five days before the campaign’s filing deadline. While the sources did not elaborate on what Kushner was told, data compiled by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics shows the campaign’s top donor states are Texas, Florida, California and New York.
