Kushner attributes Mar-a-Lago documents to Trump's 'peculiar' governing style

Jared Kushner, a former adviser to his father-in-law former President Donald Trump, attributed the presence of allegedly classified documents at the Mar-a-Lago estate to Trump's "peculiar" way of running the country.

FBI agents with the Washington Field Office reportedly removed 11 sets of classified documents from Trump's Florida estate earlier in August. Trump has asserted that all of the documents in his possession were declassified by a standing order he implemented.

“I’m not familiar with what was in the boxes, but I think President Trump, you know, he governed in a very peculiar way, and he — when he had his documents, I’m assuming he did what he thought was appropriate,” Kushner said on Fox News' "America's Newsroom," per The Hill.

The former president's son-in-law went on to assert that the federal government had been actively working against Trump for years.

“Well, the DOJ, again, they have unfettered resources," he asserted. "They have unfettered power, right? And so, they’ve been trying to get Trump now for six years."

“I write about this a lot in my book, what it was like being through what I call investigation number one, where they were accusing us of colluding with Russia, which was totally crazy. We knew it, but it still took us two years to go through it,” Kushner concluded.
