The FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago, according to Jared Kushner, was merely another effort by Donald Trump’s foes to destabilize him.
For the first time since the raid two weeks ago, Kushner told Fox News’ Mark Levin that his father-in-law is a “warrior” and refuted assertions made by the Justice Department that the search was conducted to uncover sensitive materials that Trump had taken from the White House.
The situation is causing a lot of individuals who wish to believe in the justice system’s impartiality and our democracy to pause and express alarm, according to 41-year-old Kushner.
Since the August 8 raid, publications from unnamed sources have claimed that a Trump world informant was most likely the one who gave the FBI the heads-up that the former president might still be in possession of government materials and documents without authorization.
Some have even suggested that Kushner could be the insider informant.
This includes Mary Trump, the ex-niece, president and Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and “fixer,” who both hypothesized that Kushner might have given agents information about the material’s existence and where to look for it.
In their discussion on Sunday night, Levin did not question Kushner about the purported Trump world source.
In an earlier post on Truth Social, Trump hinted about his son-in-interview, the law saying, “Even I am intrigued in this one.”
He referred to Levin and Kushner as “two really smart people” who have a lot to teach us.
Kushner was a prominent adviser to the former president during his one-term presidency in addition to being married to his daughter Ivanka Trump.
Lara, the husband of Eric and the former president’s daughter-in-law, has defended Trump in a few Fox News interviews since the raid.
The main problem here, according to Kushner, is that Trump “drives his enemies so mad, they always over-pursue him and make blunders in trying to catch him.”
However, he went on to say, “But what’s occurring now, it’s the same thing, being done by the same individuals, in the same way, they’re leaking to the same sources, and they’re producing wonderful claims that get disproved shortly after,”
Kushner promoted his brand-new book Breaking History: A White House Memoir, which hits shops on Tuesday, on Fox News Life, Liberty & Levin on Sunday.
“This is the book for that,” Levin said. “If you want to know what was going on in the White House throughout the Trump Presidency.”
The operation was labelled a “despicable attack” by Levin, and Kushner did not disagree.
When their term in office ends, officials are prohibited by the Presidential Record Act from taking anything out of the White House.
But after turning over 15 boxes of presidential memorabilia from his Florida residence to the National Archives in February, Trump insists that he was working with law enforcement.
He also maintains that the FBI took documents protected by the attorney-client and executive privilege.
The Biden administration contends that the president was not informed of the raid in advance and learnt about it through the press along with the rest of the country.
The Justice Department’s request for a warrant to search Trump’s Palm Beach mansion was personally approved, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who confirmed this on the Thursday after the raid.
Other sources assert that, in addition to Kushner, Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s former acting chief of staff, could be one of the “six to eight persons in Trump’s inner circle” who provided information to the FBI and DOJ.
Mulvaney claims he had no knowledge of the safe that FBI agents had opened in order to retrieve documents they had taken from Trump’s residence.
