Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former president Donald Trump, told House investigators that he hadn’t taken seriously the White House counsel’s threats to resign over Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. He dismissed it as “whining.”
“My interest at that time was on trying to get as many pardons done, and I know that he was always, him and the team, were always saying ‘Oh we are going to resign’,” Kushner said in a deposition. “So, I kind of took it up to just be whining, to be honest with you.”
