Former US president Donald Trump claims he can declassify top secret documents just ‘by thinking about it’
Donald Trump came very close to firing his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner from the White House via a tweet, a new book has claimed.
According to an early copy of New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s new book obtained by CNN, the 45th president was seconds away from firing off a tweet that would’ve alerted his kin about the termination of their employment.
Both Ivanka and Kushner were working as senior White House aides and the former president - who reportedly grew tired of his son-in-law’s presence and described him as sounding “like a child” - only decided not to fire them because his then-chief of staff John Kelly and then-White House counsel Don McGahn warned against it.
Meanwhile, the former president’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump has come under fire for posting a video of her son outside on a toy car as Hurricane Ian hits Florida.
The hurricane also caused the Jan 6 House select committee to postpone Wednesday’s supposed final public hearing allowing committee member Rep Stephanie Murphy to respond to matters in her Florida district.
