Jared Kushner Declines Role in Potential Second Trump Administration

Kushner to focus on private equity firm, distancing himself from politics while defending Saudi business ties.

Jared Kushner, former senior adviser to Donald Trump, has stated he will not join a second Trump administration, focusing instead on his private equity firm, Affinity Partners.
Kushner praised the professionalism of Trump's current campaign team, contrasting it with the family-centric 2016 campaign.
Despite Kushner's significant role in Trump's previous administration, both he and Ivanka Trump have distanced themselves from Trump's 2024 campaign.
Kushner defended his business dealings with Saudi Arabia, particularly a $2 billion investment from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, despite controversies surrounding the Saudi crown prince.
Kushner's decision aligns with Trump's earlier statement that his family will not return to the White House if he wins in 2024.
