Former Trump administration officials are attempting to tarnish the reputation of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and a top White House aide, according to White House lawyer Ty Cobb.
Cobb told The Washington Post that he believes senior White House aides leaked internal discussions about whether Kushner should be forced from the White House to hurt Trump’s son in law.
But he suggested Kushner’s enemies are no longer within the White House.
“Those whose agendas were and remain focused on sabotaging him and his family for misguided personal reasons are no longer around,” said Cobb, who was brought aboard in July to specialize in the Russia inquiry. “All clandestine efforts to undermine him never gained traction.”
