Jared Kushner says he wouldn’t take a role in a hypothetical second Trump administration, explaining that he’s enjoyed being out of the glare of constant public scrutiny and that he wishes to remain committed to his investment business.
The former president’s son-in-law, who previously served as one of Trump’s top advisers in the White House, says he plans to focus on work with his private equity firm, Affinity Partners—the company which received a $2 billion investment from the sovereign wealth fund controlled by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
During an appearance at the Axios BDF conference in Miami on Tuesday, Kushner was asked what he would say if Trump wins in November and asks him to return to Washington, D.C. Noting that “nothing in my life has gone according to the plans I’ve set,” Kushner said: “I’ve been very clear that my desire at this phase in my life is to focus on my firm.”
