Christie torches Kushner in new memoir

By Sophie Tatum, CNN
January 17, 2019

Washington (CNN)Chris Christie paints a vengeful picture of President Donald Trump's son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner -- whose family Christie has feuded with for years -- in an upcoming memoir, according to excerpts reported on by Axios (https://www.axios.com/chris-christie-book-excerpt-jared-kushner-b05286c8-cf93-401b-9846-6ffaaf364540.html) and The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/15/chris-christie-book-jared-kushner-accusations-hit-job).

According to The Guardian, the former New Jersey governor writes in his book, "Let Me Finish," which is scheduled to be released later this month, that Kushner was behind his departure from the Trump inner circle after the 2016 election.
"Steve Bannon ... made clear to me that one person and one person only was responsible for the faceless execution that Steve was now attempting to carry out. Jared Kushner, still apparently seething over events that had occurred a decade ago," Christie said in his book.
The Guardian reported that Bannon told him at his firing as Trump's transition chairman that "the kid's been taking an ax to your head with the boss ever since I got here," referring to Kushner.

Axios reported that Christie wrote: "In Bannon-speak, the KID is only one person. Not Donald Jr. Not younger son Eric. Not Ivanka or Tiffany. The kid is Jared Kushner, the husband of Ivanka Trump and the son of the real estate developer Charles Kushner, a man I once sent to prison."
According to The Guardian, Kushner did not want Christie to take over the administration's transition team and in a meeting with Trump, Christie wrote that Kushner "implied I had acted unethically and inappropriately but didn't state one fact to back that up."
"Just a lot of feelings -- very raw feelings that had been simmering for a dozen years," Christie wrote, according to The Guardian.

‘Grifters, weaklings and felons’: Chris Christie burns down Trump’s entire inner circle

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie doesn’t just have his knives out for Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner (https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/chris-christie-burns-jared-kushner-scathing-new-book-accuses-orchestrating-hit-job/) — he also has unkind words for President Donald Trump’s entire inner circle.
Axios has published a new excerpt (https://www.axios.com/chris-christie-book-excerpt-jared-kushner-b05286c8-cf93-401b-9846-6ffaaf364540.html) from Christie’s book, called “Let Me Finish,” that’s due to be released later this month. In it, Christie slams Trump for surrounding himself with multiple criminals and other hangers-on who know how to flatter the president’s ego.
Specifically, Christie claims that the Trump White House is staffed by a “revolving door of deeply flawed individuals — amateurs, grifters, weaklings, convicted and unconvicted felons — who were hustled into jobs they were never suited for, sometimes seemingly without so much as a background check via Google or Wikipedia.”
Christie also claims that Trump’s presidency would have been far more effective had he been allowed to stay on as the transition chief before getting ousted at the behest of Jared Kushner.

By James Kirchick
Charles Kushner seemed to have an insatiable appetite for money and power and recognized the role politics played at the nexus of both. To maximize his influence, Kushner circumvented federal campaign finance laws by funneling money to candidates and elected officials with donations made in the names of other people and through the more than 100 separate real-estate development partnerships he controlled. In one of this already absurd campaign’s more novelistic ironies, Kushner’s dirty dealings caught the attention of a young, ambitious federal prosecutor named Chris Christie, who opened up an investigation that called Kushner’s sister, Esther, and brother-in-law, Billy, as witnesses. Determined to prevent Billy from testifying, Charles set up a honey trap (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/19/nyregion/major-donor-admits-hiring-prostitute-to-smear-witness.html?_r=0) for his brother-in-law in a motel room—fully equipped with video cameras—and paid a prostitute $10,000. Kushner then sent a tape of the assignation to his sister, who promptly turned her brother’s attempt at blackmail over to the authorities.

Kushner was also implicated in the simultaneous downfall of his political protégé McGreevy, who became infamous for a live televised resignation during which he announced to the world that he was “a gay American.” Thanks to this cynical deflection, most today remember McGreevy as having done nothing worse than commit marital infidelity under the duress of his decision to marry a woman and live his life in the closet. But the main reason McGreevy was forced to step down from his post was that his former lover, an Israeli man named Golan Cipel whom he had put on the state payroll in a make-work job, was threatening to sue him for sexual harassment.
So, who was Golan Cipel? McGreevy had met Cipel several years earlier in Israel, and it was Charles Kushner who sponsored the young Israeli’s work visa to the United States and then generously employed Cipel in one of his companies before the governor hired him. Some speculated (http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/features/9874/index3.html) that Kushner, recognizing the blackmail potential of this arrangement, persuaded Cipel to threaten McGreevy with exposure. That would explain why, 10 minutes before McGreevy’s tearful confession, a lawyer representing Cipel called (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/17/nyregion/fallout-resignation-investigation-inquiry-said-be-focusing-plan-for-touro.html) McGreevy’s office conveying the message that the jilted lover would keep their affair secret if the governor fulfilled an odd request: grant a charter to Touro College allowing it to open a medical school in New Jersey—a medical school for which Charles Kushner had raised money and hoped to name after his late mother. (At the time, Kushner, through his lawyer, denied (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/17/nyregion/fallout-resignation-investigation-inquiry-said-be-focusing-plan-for-touro.html) any involvement.)
