Donald Trump Jr. denied a report that a feud between him and Jared Kushner, a white House adviser and President Trump’s son-in-law, is hindering the president’s reelection campaign.
“If there’s a single serious reporter covering the WH that believes a single word that Gabe Sherman ‘reports’ please step forward. More fake news bullshit trying to sow discord because they’re scared of the machine we’ve created to get @realDonaldTrump re-elected in 2020!” Trump Jr. tweeted Wednesday.
His tweet was in response to a Vanity Fair article published Wednesday describing an “escalating cold war” between Trump Jr. and Kushner for “control of the reelection.”
{mosads}The article cites five anonymous sources close to the White House that suggest the men are facing off in a power struggle.
The report’s sources also indicate former special counsel Robert Mueller’s looming investigation is amplifying the tension.
Trump Jr. and his brother Eric Trump do not have official roles in the White House and were placed in charge of their father’s businesses while he’s in office to avoid conflicts of interest.
Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s daughter, have official positions in the White House as advisers.
