CNN: Jared Kushner bragged in April that Trump was taking the country ‘back from the doctors’
President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner boasted in mid-April about how the President had cut out the doctors and scientists advising him on the unfolding coronavirus pandemic, comments that came as more than 40,000 Americans already had died from the virus, which was ravaging New York City.
Jared Kushner made it clear that Donald Trump, someone with no medical experience whatsoever, wanted to craft the information concerning coronavirus, not “the doctors.” Listen to the audio here.
New audio of conversations between Jared Kushner and Bob Woodward reveal plans to keep the President – not doctors – in charge of the Covid-19 national response.
