Former Trump attorney thinks Jared Kushner and Ivanka are Jack Smith’s 'inside moles'
Jared Kushner testified before a grand jury investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, but former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen believes the ex-president's son-in-law has been talking all along to investigators.
Special counsel Jack Smith's team reportedly asked the former White House official whether Trump genuinely believed he had won the 2020 election or whether he knew his fraud claims were bogus, and Cohen told CNN that Kushner wouldn't have been asked to appear unless investigators felt confident he could help establish corrupt intent.
"Why would Jack Smith bring Jared Kushner to the table unless you already knew what Jared is going to say," Cohen said. "There is no way that Jack Smith brought Jared in there to impeach, you know, the information, or the testimony that he has. That is just not how the grand jury system works."
Kushner can't be happy that he's been pulled back into his father-in-law's business, Cohen said, but he believes both he and Ivanka Trump have been spilling secrets about the former president since leaving the White House.
"Look, the entire familial relationship has gone south," Cohen said. "We see Jared and Ivanka stepping away, and I said it on a CNN program about a year ago that I do believe that Jared and Ivanka were the inside moles, not that I have any information to prove it. Jared does not want to see the inside of a prison cell. He knows what it's like through his father's eyes, he knows how difficult it was for him and his siblings. He doesn't want to do the same thing to his children."
Cohen believes that Kushner has been working with investigators to keep the heat off himself.
"I have always believed it, and especially the fact that Jared was always known in the White House as the secretary of everything, and with all of the things that went on, how come there is no investigation into Jared?" Cohen said. "He comes out several months later, he's got $2 billion from the Saudis, couple hundred million from the other gulf coast country, there's no investigation into the relationship between him and Saudi, when he has absolutely no capability, and he has never run anybody's money before, to the point that the finance committee of the Saudi investment authority said he doesn't meet our criteria. But there is no investigation."
