Jared Kushner meets Hakeem Jeffries

Jared Kushner met privately with House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries in New York over the last few weeks. This happened while Donald Trump and Jeffries were publicly attacking each other, with Trump calling Jeffries a 'thug' and 'low IQ' and Jeffries promising to 'hold the crooks accountable' if Democrats take the House. They reportedly talked about housing, immigration, and the high cost of living as possible areas where they could agree. Kushner suggested that Jeffries meet with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. The two have kept in touch since working together on criminal justice reform during Trump's first term. With midterms coming up and Democrats favored to retake the House, this private contact stands out.
