Trump is reportedly advocating for the move, in part,
so the couple's brand can avoid further damage inflicted by negative press coverage from the political scene.

Kushner, once charged with enhancing government efficiency, improving relations with China, and solving the Middle East crisis, also
now has fewer responsibilities and less autonomy in the West Wing under chief of staff John Kelly's leadership.
“Kelly has clipped his wings,” a Republican figure in contact with the White House told Vanity Fair.

Trump told former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon that he blames Kushner for the firings of former national security adviser Mike Flynn and former FBI Director James Comey, per the magazine.
