Former adviser to President Trump, Jared Kushner says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D) told family friends the President's son-in-law was heading for jail over his link to a since-debunked claim the Trump 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.
“My poor mom, I told her to stop, you know reading whatever, I said, ‘I promise you, we didn't do anything wrong, it's good,'” Kushner said on the Lex Fridman Podcast. “But you know, she'd call me say, well you know, ‘our friends were on the Upper East Side were talking with Chuck Schumer who says Jared's going to jail.'”
The report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller found “sweeping and systematic” Russian interference in the 2016 election, however, it did not find evidence that anyone on Trump's campaign was complicity in those efforts.
Kushner said on the podcast that he didn't take the allegations “too seriously” at first, because he felt there were “no underlying problems to the accusation.”
“I felt like this is one of those things where they're going to try and catch you and then if you step on the line, they catch with one misrepresentation, they're gonnna try to put you in jail or worse … and so, for me, that was a big concern,” Kushner said.
The ex-Trump adviser was part of investigations by the Senate intelligence and judiciary committees into questions around the Trump campaign's links with Russia.
Kushner said he probably spent more than 20 hours testifying before different committees and spent millions of dollars “out of my own pocket” on legal fees.
“This is like a leading senator saying these things and so it was just interesting for me to see how the whole world could believe something and be talking about it that I knew with 1,000 percent certainty was just not true,” Kushner said of Schumer. “And so seeing that play out was very, very hard.”

What I think is that this is an antiSemitic attack by a self-hating Jew, the evil Chuck Schumer who should be excommunicated from the Jewish People.
Schumer is guilty of Character assassination and any other charge you can hold against him when he publicly accuses a person and without proof declares he is going to prison. It’s one thing to say a person is “charged with….” but absolutely criminal to work to besmirch a person’s character without proof. I hope Kuschner counter sues as the charges he’s had to fight was meant to break him financially and keep him from working for Trump.
Really, Stainless?
