Jared Kushner shoots down trial balloon of him being Trump's secretary of state

Former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has squelched out the former president's reported idea of giving him a cabinet role in his next potential administration, The Daily Beast reported on Wednesday.

Kushner made the comments at an Axios BDF event in Miami, reported Dan Ladden-Hall.

“I’ve really enjoyed the opportunity as a family to be out of the spotlight,” he said, calling the White House a "24/7, high-stakes job." According to Kushner, he and Ivanka have "both really enjoyed the opportunity to be down here in Florida with the kids,” and “Right now that’s really where my commitment is, is to my investors, to my firm, to my employees, to my partners, and that’s what I’m planning to do.”

This comes after previous reporting that Trump was interested in making Kushner his Secretary of State if he won re-election.

While he worked in the White House, Trump tapped Kushner for a huge array of policymaking decisions ranging from the opioid epidemic to regulatory reform. However, he is perhaps best known for his role in the Abraham Accords, a deal that saw several Arab states formally recognize Israel for the first time, despite him having no background in foreign policy. On another note, Kushner also became notorious for alleged corruption, striking business deals with the same world leaders he engaged diplomatically, often at great profit to himself.

Since leaving the White House, Kushner has set up an investment firm, backed by a huge infusion from the Saudi wealth fund, as well as a nonprofit to ostensibly continue the work set up by peace deals he was involved with. A recent report suggested that money and staffers are flowing back and forth between these two groups.
