Chris Christie Casually Tosses Jared Kushner Under The Bus
In a recent conversation, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie openly criticized Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, in a manner that has caught the attention of many political commentators. During an interview on MSNBC, Christie discussed the ongoing scrutiny Kushner faces from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation regarding his actions during the presidential transition and potential ties to Russia .
Christie pointed out that Kushner deserves examination for several reasons, primarily due to his controversial involvement in setting up a back-channel with Russian officials and failing to disclose numerous foreign contacts—as many as a hundred—on official documents. This admission raises critical questions about Kushner's ethical judgment and his role in incidents that have sparked significant concern among investigators .
Moreover, Christie reflected on the nature of the media's rush to judgment in such high-stakes investigations, emphasizing that an impartial examination of the facts is essential for the integrity of any legal proceedings. He stated, "Let the facts come to you, dig, get the facts, then judge them," highlighting the importance of a thorough investigation rather than speculative journalism .
Interestingly, this commentary also sheds light on the tumultuous history between Christie and the Kushner family. Christie previously prosecuted Charles Kushner, Jared's father, for tax fraud, leading to a personal and professional rivalry that adds layer to Christie's current statements . The situation is compounded by Christie's own controversies, making it challenging to characterize either party as purely innocent or guilty.
As political dynamics continue to evolve, Christie’s remarks not only spark debate over Kushner’s ethical standing but also raise questions about the broader implications for Trump's administration and legal challenges surrounding it .
