Jared Kushner: John Bolton Didn’t Have What It Takes

CNN reports:

President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared Kushner told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria that impeachment has not hurt the President’s support, insisting that his base “is strong and getting stronger” and that former White House officials who have raised concerns about Trump “didn’t have what it took.” Kushner told Zakaria that people outside Washington aren’t paying attention to the impeachment drama unfolding in Washington, only the third time in US history that a sitting president has been put on trial.

Kushner went on to suggest that John Bolton and other senior former officials, including former Defense Secretary James Mattis and former White House chief of staff John Kelly, didn’t have the chops to perform their jobs to the level needed. Asked why so many senior officials have left feeling that Trump has done “a lot of wrong things,” Kushner told Zakaria that, “What I have seen is that the cream has risen and — I’m not going to say what the word is — but that has sank.”
