Jared Kushner says indictment will make Trump STRONGER
Jared Kushner says impeachment will make Trump STRONGER as he admits “it’s been hard to watch” and criticizes Democrats who “keep breaking all the rules” to try to get his father-in-law
- Donald Trump’s son-in-law becomes the latest family member to criticize the former president’s impeachment
- Kushner suggested that Democrats orchestrated the case because they were afraid of Trump’s “political strength.”
- It comes after Dailymail.com revealed that Melania Trump plans to support her husband, who is reportedly facing up to 30 criminal charges.
Donald Trump’s son-in-law has said the former president’s impeachment “has only made him stronger” as he becomes the latest family member to criticize the “troubling” case.
Jared Kushner accused Democrats of being afraid of Trump’s “political muscle” in a series of inflammatory remarks delivered during a speech to bring peace to the Middle East.
It comes after it was revealed that Melania Trump is supporting her husband as he faces charges over a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
Kushner said the case, led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, “obviously shows how scared Democrats are of Trump and how politically strong he is.”
“As an American, it is very concerning for me to see the leader of the opposition party being charged,” he told the crowd.
Jared Kushner has said the former president’s impeachment “had only made him stronger” while criticizing the “troubling” case.
Trump’s impeachment marks the end of a years-long investigation into $130,000 paid to Stormy Daniels, allegedly to buy her silence about her affair.
“It’s been hard to see his opponents politically continue to break all the rules in recent years to try to get him.”
He continued: “But what I will say is that I have been by his side through many of these cases and it has only made him stronger and his determination to take on big challenges, to fight for change.”
Kushner, who previously acted as Trump’s aide while in the White House, spoke at an event hosted by the Future Investment Initiative, a nonprofit organization backed by one of Saudi Arabia’s largest sovereign wealth funds.
Kushner’s ties to Middle Eastern investors have come under fresh scrutiny this week.
The New York Times reported Thursday that wealth funds in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar had invested with Kushner’s private equity firm Affinity Partners.
He is the latest member of the Trump family to criticize the case against him.
Yesterday, his son Eric told Dailymail.com that the allegation was the result of ‘opportunistically attacking a political opponent in a campaign year’.
He echoed statements made by Trump himself, who called it “political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history.”
He will be arraigned in Manhattan at 2:15 p.m. Tuesday.
The exact charges have yet to be revealed, but reports indicate there are more than 30 charges.
The allegations against Trump center on a $130,000 hush payment made by Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, to Daniels, 44, during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The former president has always denied having an affair with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
But the case haunted him during his time in office after triggering a federal investigation.
On Saturday, March 18, Trump sensationally announced that he would be arrested the following Tuesday.
However, an arrest did not materialize and the case fell silent in recent weeks.
But on Thursday, a jury voted dramatically in favor of the indictment, marking a victory for Bragg, whose office was responsible for the payment investigation.
Bragg persevered in his investigation despite the fact that federal prosecutors chose not to pursue Trump for what he allegedly amounted to an illegal campaign contribution.
Instead, Bragg is believed to be examining whether the payment was mislabeled as a business expense, a misdemeanor under New York state law.
Trump, 76, has repeatedly speculated that the DA is being financed by billionaire liberal philanthropist George Soros.
Today, Soros poured cold water on those claims by denying any involvement.
The 92-year-old told the Semafor news website: “As for Alvin Bragg, I actually did not contribute to his campaign and I don’t know him.”
His office is not funded by Soros, although his campaign to become district attorney received $1 million from the Color Of Change Political Action Committee, a racial justice group backed by the Hungarian-born billionaire financier.
Soros is a favorite target of conservatives. Since the January 6 attack on Congress, he has used his vast wealth to back candidates he says promote democracy and the rule of law.
