Ivanka and Jared break from Trump over anti-Semitism claims
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner refused to support Donald Trump amid allegations of anti-Semitism. According to a book about her father, Ivanka intended to sever ties with politics completely.
Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, who once actively supported Donald Trump, are now decidedly distancing themselves from the political arena.
In Michael Wolff's book, "All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America," a conflict between Trump's staff and Ivanka and Jared is detailed. Donald Trump was seeking their public support when accusations of anti-Semitism surfaced, but the couple declined.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner refuse Donald Trump
Michael Wolff describes how Trump repeatedly turned to Kushner when his position on Israel was questioned. However, Jared, Ivanka's husband, avoided formally endorsing his father-in-law, and the campaign had to be content with a statement that claimed Trump was not anti-Semitic.
As Trump remained indecisive, The Washington Post was reportedly working on an article analyzing his past rhetoric, which his team suspected could be perceived as anti-Semitic. Meanwhile, Kushner refrained from explicitly endorsing his father-in-law. As a result, the campaign issued a statement asserting that Trump was not anti-Semitic, according to the book.
Kushner's final response was unequivocal: "No, Ivanka and I aren’t going to do that. We’re not going to go and put our names on something and get in the middle of things. That’s just not what we’re going to do this time." - Wolff quotes him. This position did not appease Trump's staff.
Wolff's book is stirring controversy. People associated with Trump's campaign question its credibility and urge readers to disregard the publication. Wolff also discusses Trump's relationship with Melania, asserting that her behavior was unpredictable for the staff.
