A White House source told the news website Axios that Jared Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, were squaring up for a "death match" with the White House chief of staff, John Kelly.
Kushner had a horrendous Tuesday, when he had his security clearance downgraded and also appeared to break the law.
An article in The Washington Post also said foreign officials had used his inexperience to try to manipulate him.

Israel, China Tried To Use Kushner’s Business, Inexperience To Shape US Policy (https://forward.com/fast-forward/395447/israel-china-tried-to-use-kushners-business-inexperience-to-shape-us-policy/)

Officials in at least four countries, including Israel and China, have held internal discussions over how to take advantage of presidential advisor/son-in-law Jared Kushner’s inexperience and financial incentives in order to shape U.S. policy, The Washington Post reported (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/kushners-overseas-contacts-raise-concerns-as-foreign-officials-seek-leverage/2018/02/27/16bbc052-18c3-11e8-942d-16a950029788_story.html?utm_term=.40616da3d5f4) Tuesday, citing current and former U.S. officials who had seen relevant intelligence reports.
The report also claims that national security advisor H.R. McMaster learned secondhand about contacts that Kushner had with foreign officials that Kushner did not coordinate or officially report to the National Security Council.
“The issue of foreign officials talking about their meetings with Kushner and their perception of his vulnerabilities was a subject raised in McMaster’s daily intelligence briefings,” the Post reported. Kushner and McMaster subsequently worked closer to coordinate foreign meetings.
While all countries discuss ways in which they can influence senior American officials, Kushner was seen internally as uniquely vulnerable to manipulation, due to his complex global business arrangements, financial difficulties within his family’s real estate business, and political inexperience.
Notably, members of the Kushner family have been seeking foreign funding to help with their looming $1.8 debt payment, due in January 2019, from its investment in a Manhattan skyscraper. Before President Trump took office, Kushner met with firms tied to the governments of China and Qatar to seek funding. Both of those groups dropped out in order to avoid charges of conflict of interest.
