Donald Trump's son-in-law and close adviser Jared Kushner is at the center of the "infighting" inside President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, multiple sources tell CNN.

Kushner has been rubbing allies the wrong way in his recent efforts to purge the transition team of Christie associates, sources say.
Kushner's father was prosecuted by then-US Attorney Christie in 2004 for tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal campaign contributions.

"He's never run an agency and it's a lot to ask. He's a neophyte and that's not his strength," Williams said, despite the fact that Carson vied for the Republican nomination to be the next president of the United States.
Carson had been rumored as a potential pick to head up the Department of Health and Human Services or the Department of Education.

The mayor of Clay, West Virginia, has resigned and another county official is out following their exchange over a racist Facebook post that compared first lady Michelle Obama to an "ape in heels."

The county employee, Pamela Taylor, worked as director of the Clay County Development Corporation and wrote on Facebook: "It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I'm tired of seeing an ape in heels," according to a screengrab obtained by CNN affiliate WSAZ.

This Kershner man is an orthodox jew. Most of these orthodox jews are supporters of Israeli right wing politics. Most of them are against the creation of a Palestinian state. On the other side are the Reform and conservative jews who supported Hillary Clinton. many of them are supporters of the Israeli left and they support a Palestinian state. This is another example of Trump being influenced by Right wing politics.

Kushner strutting his stuff as the son-in-law of the President  Ben Carson refused Trump's job offer.  Giuliani was interviewed yesterday, he said he has a great business going for him and will only accept a position if it is really 'worth it'.  Conflict of interest arising from Ivanka using political pictures to advertise her jewelry business.  Trump is getting impatient with the transition team and yes there is 'infighting'.  Complications and confusion!!

Nah. Obama 3 means that Mitch McConnell will not give him money for his infrastructure projects, though he thinks corporate tax breaks will bring home the trillions stashed abroad that can be invested in infrastructure.

Obama 3 means that  Paul Ryan will not not give him money for a deportation force and a wall.

Obama 3 means that he will realize he cannot go bomb anything in Syria while Russia has a Defense pact with Syria and have their aircraft carrier stationed there with tons of aircraft.

Obama 3 means he will realize he cannot station troops in Iraq because that sovereign nation does not want to- only American air power and intel to defeat ISIS.

Obama 3 because that the Chambers of Commerce will tell him chain suppliers in Mexico and Canada are part of American finished products in manufacturing and he will have to renegotiate rather than tear up NAFTA. BTW it will end up with all the enforcements of TPP - environment, labor laws, collective bargaining, currency manipulation. (the thing that the GOP railed against Obama and that both Hillary and Bernie cowardly followed).

I can name a fw but chew on these for the time being.

Baseman the difference is that they are still saying racist things, but then they proudly boast that they are Trump supporters. 

I mean when the KKK and the American Nazi party congratulates Trump on his appointment of Bannon you know that we have reached a new low.  This did NOT occur with George Bush.

Why is the KKK so happy with Trump?  Why was Trump retweeting white supremacist nonsense, which one of your fellow Indo KKKs posted here.  the bit about blacks being responsible for over 80% of the murders of whites.

Face it.  Racists LOVE Trump! Why?  I mean even on GNI its the Indo KKK who love Trump.  Nobody else does.

The first time Chris Christie squared off with a Kushner, the scene was a federal court and the outcome -- along with all the tabloid drama -- helped vault the future governor of New Jersey into the Republican elite.

His opponent then, in the early 2000s, was the billionaire real estate developer Charles Kushner. Also a prominent Democratic political donor, Kushner's criminal tax evasion and witness tampering case won Christie, then a US attorney, triumphant headlines in the country's largest media market.
More than ten years later, first as Donald Trump's Republican primary campaign gained traction and now as the President-elect stitches together his administration, Christie has again found himself seated across from a Kushner -- one seemingly determined to curb his ambitions and frustrate his plans at every turn.
This time around, though, it is Jared Kushner, son of Charles, and husband to Ivanka Trump. The younger Kushner has emerged as one of Trump's most trusted advisers and a power broker inside what has been a tumultuous transition process. Sources have put Kushner, 35, at the center of pitched "infighting" over the composition and direction of the team, most notably the dismissal of Christie, who was displaced by Vice President-elect Mike Pence, and his earlier hires.
