Former President Trump’s son-in-law and close adviser Jared Kushner got into “shock and howl matches” with Trump over the 2020 presidential election and Trump’s unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud, according to a new book.
In “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House,” New York Times bestselling author Chris Whipple recounts how Kushner battled with Trump in the aftermath of the election. He didn’t believe his father-in-law’s claims about a stolen election and he had left Washington, DC, for the Middle East to work on the Abraham Accords, a landmark peace deal brokered by the Trump administration.
“With all due respect, I’m not going to like what you’re doing, and you’re going to yell at me,” Kushner had told the president, according to Whipple.
Whipple’s book reports that Kushner and his wife, Trump’s daughter Ivanka, believed the former president would eventually accept the election results. He thought the lawyers advising Trump to run for office, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, were “clowns” and called them “the Crazy Show”.

It also paints a complex picture of Trump, who allegedly wrote a “shockingly kind” letter to Biden before he left the White House. Kushner said Whipple Trump spent three days composing it, while publicly claiming the election was stolen.
“It just shows he has many different layers,” Kushner said.
