Jared Kushner has revealed his decision regarding yet another position in the Trump White House cabinet.
The former White House advisor says that he will not seek a second cabinet appointment should President Trump win again in 2024.
Kushner explained that he very much enjoys being out of the limelight and wishes to focus on his private equity firm Affinity Partners.
President Trump’s son-in-law has come under fire for his alleged connections to Saudi Arabia and a $2 billion payout he reportedly received directly following his departure from the Executive Branch.
Moreover, many in the MAGA movement outright distrust Kushner, with some even saying that he was the mole in the Trump White House. The former White House official had this to say when questioned by Axios:
If @jaredkushner’s glossed lips are moving then he’s lying.
Even if he didn’t have an official government title, he’d be a deep insider. https://t.co/OXYPXllPJo pic.twitter.com/re4zWpdf5s

The Epoch Times issued this statement from Kushner:
“I’ve been very clear that my desire at this phase of my life is to focus on my firm,” he remarked.
“I’ve really enjoyed the opportunity as a family to be out of the spotlight.”
The former White House insider also told Dan Primack during the recent sit-down that it is still “too early to tell” if Bidenomics has been horrible for the economy or not.

Breitbart had more of Kushner’s remarks:
“I was very fortunate to play a role in the campaign and then join him in the administration.
There was some incredible things we were able to get done together.
Very, very proud of them. But this time, I think he’ll be able to build a really incredible team based on the people who are available.”
