Gregory Marmalard, (a.k.a. Jared Kushner) Senior Advisor to POTUS*, had an HBO interview with Axios in which he demonstrates smarminess as a political virtue. No truth to a rumor that Jared Kushner will do a cameo on a reboot of the sitcom, Arrested Development.
Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and an architect of the White House’s yet-to-be-released Middle East peace plan, told the “Axios on HBO” television program it would be a “high bar” when asked if the Palestinians could expect freedom from Israeli military and government interference.
Asked whether he understood why the Palestinians might not trust him, Kushner said: “I’m not here to be trusted”

The interview also touched on the murder of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi and Kushner’s views on whether Donald Trump is racist.
Kushner denied the president was racist but would not be drawn on his views on Trump’s “birtherism” campaign against Barack Obama.
“I wasn’t involved in that,” he said several times, when asked if it was racist.
Kusher refused to say if he had discussed the “horrific” murder of Khashoggi with Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman.
He said the country was a long-term US ally, and “we feel like we are in a position now where there is a lot of interests that we have that are shared with them, and our goal is to pursue those interests.”
