Report: Ivanka Trump complained Jared Kushner was being embarrassed by John Kelly

The rumored feud between Chief of Staff John Kelly and First Daughter Ivanka Trump continues, as one of the President’s most trusted advisers reportedly complained that Kelly is embarrassing her husband Jared Kushner.

In a report by Vanity Fair, Ivanka complained to a friend about Kelly, saying, “Why do you have to embarrass Jared like that?” Kelly was the one who downgraded Kushner’s security clearance, which according to CNN gives the White House calligrapher more access than he does.

A former White House official told Newsweek that since his downgrade, Kushner has been quote, “looking at everything he can do that doesn’t require a clearance,” with another source saying, “The White House is trying to fluff him up again."

Things have escalated between Kelly and the Trump administration’s power couple, with the AP reporting that Kelly has become irritated with the freelancing nature of the pair and their influence over the President.

While on the other hand, The New York Times reported that Jared and Ivanka have grown exasperated with Kelly, believing he is standing in the way of President Trump’s success.

The Vanity Fair report states that Trump plans to interview replacements for Kelly’s position during his next visit to Mar-a-Lago.
