JoanofArgh's JournalKushner's worried Mueller's going to "get the President"
As Kushners Russia troubles mountlast Friday the Senate disclosed that he had not turned over e-mails about WikiLeaks, a claim his attorney, Abbe Lowell, deniedinsiders are again speculating, as my colleague Emily Jane Fox reported last month, about how long Kushner and Ivanka Trump will remain in Washington. Despite Kushners efforts to project confidence about Robert Muellers probe, he expressed worry after the indictments of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates about how far the investigation could go. Do you think theyll get the president? Kushner asked a friend, according to a person briefed on the conversation.
According to two Republicans who have spoken with Trump, the president has also been frustrated with Kushners political advice, including his encouragement to back losing Alabama G.O.P. candidate Luther Strange and to fire F.B.I. Director James Comey, which Kushner denies. (For what its worth, Kushners choice of Strange prevented Trump from the embarrassment of inadvertently supporting Roy Moore.) Trump, according to three people whove spoken to him, has advocated for Jared and Ivanka to return to New York in part because they are being damaged by negative press. He keeps pressuring them to go, one source close to Kushner told me. But as bad as the Russia investigation may be, its not clear a New York homecoming would be much better for Kushner, given that his familys debt-ridden office tower at 666 Fifth Avenue could be headed for bankruptcy.
