For a man who vowed to stay out of the political spotlight, Jared Kushner is finding himself very much in its glare.
He helped clinch a ceasefire agreement and secure the release of hostages in Gaza. He has sat across from Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy ¡ª separately ¡ª in a bid to negotiate a peace deal over Ukraine. And his private equity firm backed a bid in the politically charged battle for an entertainment empire, before later withdrawing support.
Such engagement might have been expected in Donald Trump¡¯s first administration, where Kushner served as a senior adviser. But it¡¯s a far cry from the future that the president¡¯s son-in-law envisioned just last year, when he told a Miami crowd that he¡¯d stay out of government affairs even if offered a job.
