Who is Jared Kushner?

This appeared in The Millennial Source

On April 2, United States President Donald Trump welcomed his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to speak to the nation as part of a coronavirus taskforce press briefing.

It was one of the most high-profile moments the Senior White House Advisor has had during Trump’s presidency, though he has had multiple roles behind the scenes in the administration.

Since marrying into the Trump family over a decade ago, Kushner has grown his personal real estate empire while largely avoiding the spotlight his in-laws have seemingly embraced.

Having been thrust into the public eye by his father-in-law’s political ascendancy, Kushner’s business dealings have received more critical scrutiny.

The rise of Jared Kushner

The real estate industry is a cross-generational profession for the Kushner family, much as it is for the Trumps. Kushner’s father is Charles Kushner, the son of Holocaust survivors, head of a multi-billion dollar real estate company and former convicted felon.
