Jared Kushner and President Trump

Jared Kushner and President Trump (Mary Altaffer/AP)

Published: 10 June 2017

Last updated: 4 March 2024

James Comey just told us everything we need to know about Jared Kushner and Trump – Nathan Guttman – The Forward 09.06.17
Ironically, it was Kushner’s advice that tilted the balance in one fateful Trump decision - to fire Comey.

Some of James Comey’s best friends are Jewish (legal scholars) – Ron Kampeas – Jewish Telegraphic Agency 08.06.17
Comey, an Irish Catholic born in New York and raised in New Jersey, was close to Jewish organisations throughout his FBI career, and said he is enormously affected by the lessons of the Holocaust.
