 "Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner refused to sign memo stating Trump was not antisemitic, new book reveals")
Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner refused to sign a memo stating that the US president is not an antisemitic, a new book by former journalist Michael Wolff has revealed.
Talking about Hamas’ October 7 attack, Wolff wrote, “As he kept seeming to be incapable of offering absolute support for Israel in the wake of October 7. Trump, not for the first time, turned to Jared for Jewish cover, explicitly asking him and Ivanka for a public endorsement.”
“As Trump had continued to waffle, the Washington Post, the campaign understood, was working on a piece that would recycle all the language Trump had variously used over the years, which, on its face, might certainly sound antisemitic. Kushner kept dodging on the formal endorsement of his father-in-law. The campaign then tried to settle for merely a statement from him that his father-in-law was not antisemitic,” it added.
Finally, Trump’s son-in-law refused to acknowledge the statement, saying that he and his wife “will not get in the middle of things”.
From 2017 to 2021, Kushner and Ivanka Trump served as senior advisers during Trump’s first term. However, they distanced themselves after his efforts to challenge the 2020 election loss to Joe Biden led to his supporters storming Congress on January 6.
In his second presidency, too, the couple have not assumed any formal roles in Trump’s administration. However, Kushner is known to have links to the president’s plans to evacuate Gazans out of the Strip and redevelop the region.
Wolff’s latest book, All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, marks his fourth work on the president. Its release was officially announced this week, just ahead of its US publication on Tuesday.
