Trump says Jewish son-in-law’s ‘friends from Israel’ helped write AIPAC speech
Donald Trump names his son-in-law as the chief adviser in preparing his address to the pro-Israel AIPAC conference tonight.
When asked who helped him write the speech, Trump answered: “My son-in-law Jared,” referring to the husband of his daughter Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner.
“He’s here. He’s coming to AIPAC,” Trump said. “Jared spoke to many of his friends from Israel and we put it together with a lot of great people.”
Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism in 2009 before marrying Jared Kushner, an observant Jew.
