Former senior White House adviser Jared Kusher dodged a question on whether he would work for former President Donald Trump again during a Wednesday interview with “America’s Newsroom.”
The former adviser did not directly answer a question repeatedly posed by Fox News host Bill Hemmer on whether he would work for his father-in-law again if he is re-elected president. He instead gave a long answer about the need for citizens from the private sector to replace the political class in Washington.
“Working for him was an honor,” Kushner said. “I write in my book how it was a different experience. I am very proud of the things I got done. It’s a big toll working in Washington. I don’t want people who are from the private sector to be scared to go to Washington. I think that’s what our Founder wanted, they wanted people to leave their farm, go and serve and then go back to their farm. It takes a big toll but you can get a lot of things done.”

“I’ll answer the question. But we need not the political class who’s been doing this for 30 years, we need people with different perspectives, outsider approaches, people with real life business experience coming to Washington. That’s what President Trump did. He brought a lot of people like him, but now he’s got a lot of very qualified people with him who I think could help him do things in ways he didn’t necessarily have in the beginning of his first term.”
He concluded that he is enjoying his time in the private sector and the time spent with his three young children. Co-host Dana Perino responded that she takes his answer as a “no,” where Kushner appeared to nod.
He joined the show to discuss his new autobiography, “Breaking History: A White House Memoir,” which details his transformation from the private sector to the White House and the several national and global challenges the administration faced.
