Former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and erstwhile White House advisor Jared Kushner responded to a Manhattan grand jury having indicted the former president, calling it “very unprecedented.”
During a Future Investment Initiative Institute summit, Kushner told a crowd that “as an American, it’s very troubling to me to see the leader of the opposition party be indicted … and I think that shows, obviously, the fear that the Democrats have of Trump, and the political strength that he has.”
“It’s been hard to watch the opponents of him politically continue to break every norm over the last years to try to get him,” Kushner also said during the speech. “I’ve been by him in a lot of these instances and it’s only made him stronger and his resolve to take on big challenges to fight for change, to fight for the American people has only gotten stronger,” Kushner said before referring to now-unsubstantiated allegations that he colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election, according to the Times of Israel.
Kushner served as a senior advisor to Trump during his entire term in office, from 2017 to 2021. He’s the husband of Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, who also issued a statement on her father’s indictment late last week.
“I love my father and I love my country. Today I am pained for both. I appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern,” Ivanka wrote on Instagram.
It came after Manhattan District Attorney’s Alvin Bragg indicted Trump on yet-to-be-disclosed charges in connection into alleged hush-money payments made to Stormy Daniels in 2016. The indictment hasn’t been unsealed yet, although it likely will be when Trump arrives in New York to be arraigned.
Reports indicate that Bragg, who has been investigating Trump, will charge the former president with counts of falsifying business records when he allegedly misclassified the payment as a business expense when it should have been a campaign expense. Some legal experts, including former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, have said that the charges Bragg are bringing should be classified misdemeanors but say he is using an untested legal theory to charge Trump with a felony.
Trump’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told news outlets Friday that the former commander-in-chief is looking to file motions to dismiss the case in the near future. He also said there is “zero chance” Trump will take a plea deal in the case, adding that Trump also won’t be handcuffed.
“This is unprecedented in this country’s history. I don’t know what to expect other than an arraignment,” he told media. “I understand they’re going to be closing off blocks around the courthouse, shutting down the courthouse. You know, we’ll go in there and we’ll proceed to see a judge at some point, plead not guilty, start talking about filing motions, which we will do immediately and very aggressively regarding the legal viability of this case.”
Other Details
After Trump announced his third bid for the presidency last year, Ivanka indicated that she won’t be involved in his campaign or “in politics” in general. “While I will always love and support my father, going forward, I will do so outside the political arena. I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and will always be proud of many of our administration’s accomplishments,” she added.
And in late 2022, Trump confirmed in a Truth Social post that both Ivanka and Kushner will not be involved in his 2024 White House run. Reports at the time that claimed they would be involved are false, he declared.
“Contrary to Fake News reporting, I never asked Jared or Ivanka to be part of the 2024 Campaign for President and, in fact, specifically asked them not to do it—too mean and nasty with the Fake & Corrupt News and having to deal with some absolutely horrendous SleazeBags in the world of politics, and beyond,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.
These bastards indict Trump but don’t go after any one of the criminals in office now or before Trump that are STILL causing issues like Biden, Pelosi, Fauci, the Clinton’s, Obama, or any number of those mother fucking trash bags? I call bullshit on all of it. They all need to rot in hell!
Jewboy Soros has his #1 nigger Bragg and #2 nigger Adam’s on the case and gave them big spoons to stir the monkey shine pot. These niggers think they scare whites they’ve labeled racist for being white then again for voting Trump. It doesn’t work that way you little Jew owned chimpsters, you’ve underestimated those you’ve of your own accord made your enemy. Being satans sons I’m sure your head swivels so you can watch your back.
you forgot Barry and Susan Rice, they are in up to their asses as well
Kushner and family are Leftist Jews with a lot of money and influence. He did his damage in the White House making sure Trump was reigned in. I’m glad he won’t have anything to do with another Trump administration. Just hope he stays out of Trump’s ear!
This has also been on my mind, Jared is Trump’s enemy after Trump letting his goofy butt having privileges with Israel affairs! This was Trump’s biggest mistake, I was wondering why the Jewish people weren’t helping Trump! You can’t trust anyone!
I noticed that too. Also my issue is his girly, soft voice, lol. I’m Jewish, and I wondered why so many Jewish people doesn’t seem to support Pres Trump even after all the things he’s doing for Israel (and for his love for that country). Party politics playing a role, I guess. There are a few rabbis that appreciate Pres Trump. Quality is better than quantity, i my opinion.
Very nice Jared, we are so disgusted with the Deep State and what they have done to President Trump, the Deep State has harassed President Trump since he came down the elevator in 2016 and I feel that this circus is going to help Trump, we vote RED 100%
