- A New York Times report revealed that Jared Kushner testified before a grand jury, stating that Donald Trump believed the election was stolen.
- Christie claims that Trump’s ego prevents him from accepting the loss and acknowledges that Kushner’s statements may be influenced by his desire to maintain family relationships and avoid potential conflicts.

Former New Jersey Governor and GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie has raised doubts about the credibility of Jared Kushner’s testimony before the grand jury investigating Donald Trump’s alleged involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 election. According to a recent New York Times report, Kushner testified before a grand jury in Washington, stating that Trump believed the election had been stolen. However, Christie, who was previously an ally of Trump, indicated that Trump himself expressed concerns about losing the election and believes that Trump’s ego prevents him from accepting defeat.
Christie suggested that Kushner may have tailored his statements to avoid potential family conflicts, implying that Kushner wanted to maintain a positive relationship with his father-in-law. Christie and Kushner have a strained history dating back to the early 2000s when Christie, as a federal prosecutor, successfully prosecuted Kushner’s father on charges including illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering. This history of animosity could have influenced their current relationship and Christie’s skepticism towards Kushner’s testimony.
Glenn Kirschner, a former U.S. prosecutor and legal analyst, also expressed the possibility that Kushner may have provided false information to the grand jury, potentially putting himself at risk of legal consequences. Kirschner suggested that if Kushner indeed misled the jury regarding the events of January 6th, he could face legal jeopardy. These statements highlight the growing scrutiny surrounding Kushner’s involvement in the investigations and the potential implications it may have on Trump and those close to him.
