Jared Kushner[1] and Ivanka Trump[2] are the subjects of a book being written by Vicky Ward[3] — and it won’t be flattering.
The former Vanity Fair writer has been a harsh critic of President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, both presidential advisers.
Ward, whose books include “The Devil’s Casino” and “The Liar’s Ball,” said in an April 2017 NPR interview that the White House had become “a horrifying kleptocracy.”
“The White House is turning into the [Jared] Kushner piggy bank and the Trump piggy bank,” Ward said, in the interview[4] with “Democracy Now’s” Amy Goodman.
As for what Ivanka does to shape policy, Ward continued, “Nothing … What she is doing is wearing clothes. She’s in a business that sells clothes, shoes. That’s what she does.”
Sources said the Kushner family is not cooperating with Ward and no one in their inner circle will talk to her either. When asked about the specifics of her book deal, Ward had no comment.
Jared’s father, Charles, his brother, Josh, and Josh’s model girlfriend, Karlie Kloss, are among those who were reportedly contacted by Ward.
The family is already bracing for another negative book, “Born Trump” by Emily Jane Fox[5], due June 19 from HarperCollins.
