In the history of First Families of the United States, there is nothing quite like the marriage of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump―two adults who have spent the past 30-something years living a life of luxury, devoid of personal responsibility. In Kushner Inc., investigative journalist Vicky Ward looks at their relentless, dangerous ascent through the levels of power of Washington D.C.. The couple has styled themselves as earnest, deserving inheritors, a fiction that places them and their families at the center of an anachronistic Gilded Age New York. This delusion may never have ended had they not forced themselves into the heart of Washington―a naked thrust for power that surprised even Trump.

Knowing that his own brand could be ruined by Kushner Inc., President Trump was ambivalent about their presence in DC. But, Ivanka and Jared waltzed into Washington intent on using their newfound influence to grow their fortune. The intricacies of government – security clearance forms, protocols, details of major policy initiatives –were minor nuisances. But their entitled attitudes and ignorance of Washington politics backfired. As one billionaire and former friend confided, “They are hated now”.

Vicky Ward delves deeply into the lives of Jared and Ivanka, their families, their friends and their enemies to create the portrait of a power-hungry marriage insinuating itself into the highest levels of the US government.
