“Don’t worry, Senator [John] McCain,' Kushner reportedly said. 'We’re going to change the way the entire government works.'
President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner reportedly scoffed at congressional committees as “inefficient” and acted as if he believed he could rewrite the century-long rules of Congress on his own, a new book on Congress in the age of Trump claims.
“They’d tipped their hand well before the election during a meeting between top Paul Ryan and Trump aides, when Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, scoffed at Congress’s snail-like pace,” the book states. “Kushner said congressional committees, which write and examine legislation, were ‘inefficient.’”
“Don’t worry, Senator McCain. We’re going to change the way the entire government works,” Kushner is quoted as saying. He said it “without a hint of irony,” according to the book.The episode concludes that “the norms of the Capitol were completely lost on Trump’s operation.” Trump appointed Kushner to a senior administration role despite his son-in-law having no prior government experience. Kushner was handed an ambitious portfolio that included creating a Middle East peace plan, which he has not yet been able to accomplish. Besides government inexperience, Kushner has faced challenges over possible conflicts of interest with his family real estate business and foreign contacts, which led to a temporary downgrade of his top security clearance.
