title: FAMILY FEUD? Why President Trump Is Reportedly Blaming Jared Kushner For Mueller Indictments
text: Is the last man standing in the West Wing about to be packing his bags? According to insiders, who refer to Trump s favored son-in-law Jared Kushner as  the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,  President Trump is fed up with his daughter Ivanka s husband and  trusted  political advisor With the exception of Sebastian Gorka, who left the West Wing in August, here s a quick look at who s left the White House since Trump s inauguration. Somehow, Jared Kushner has managed to stay put:Breitbart   Donald Trump reportedly blames his son-in-law, White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner, for his role in the decision to appoint special counsel Robert Mueller, according to Vanity Fair s Gabriel Sherman.On a phone call Tuesday with Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon,  Trump blamed Jared Kushner for his role in decisions, specifically the firings of [former National Security Adviser] Mike Flynn and [former FBI Director] James Comey, that led to Mueller s appointment,  according to a source who was briefed on the call.On Monday, Mueller indicted Trump s former campaign chair Paul Manafort on 12 counts   ranging from making false statements to  conspiracy against the United States    as part of the ongoing, so-called  Russia Investigation.  Richard Gates, Manafort s deputy, was also charged.The New York Times reported that Kushner, along with his wife Ivanka Trump, also pushed Trump to hire Manafort, who was needed to fill the spot of Trump s initial campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, after Ivanka reportedly gave her father an ultimatum to fire him.While Mueller s charges bear no immediate connection to Trump or his campaign, Sherman reports that everyone in the West Wing  is freaking out,  with advisers  on edge,   doing whatever they can not to be ensnared. One person close to Dina Powell and Gary Cohn said they re making sure to leave rooms if the subject of Russia comes up. Regarding Kushner, though, there is particular concern. Here s what Manafort s indictment tells me,  says former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg,  Mueller is going to go over every financial dealing of Jared Kushner and the Trump Organization.   Trump is at 33 percent in Gallup. You can t go any lower. He s f*cked,  he adds.Kushner s finances are already under scrutiny. Breitbart News  Adam Shaw reports:Kushner Companies has reportedly become a topic of interest for Mueller as he investigates alleged Russian interference, and the company was subpoenaed for its use of an immigration-for-investment scheme and for promoting the scheme to Chinese investors.Just this week, Maryland s attorney general announced an investigation into Kushner s family business  over allegations of abusive debt collection and disgusting living conditions at several properties,  reports Shaw.Kushner, who was tasked with a massive portfolio by Trump that includes solving America s opioid crisis, tackling criminal justice reform, and bringing peace to the Middle East   despite having no experience in any of these areas and achieving virtually no accomplishments in his time in the West Wing   is now reportedly shrinking his role, along with Ivanka, following their repeated terrible advice to the president and  periodic confusion and resentment  caused by their presence. Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,  Nunberg tells Sherman.  I m only saying publicly what everyone says behind the scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress.
