pretend Donald Trump will weigh several criteria as he searches for his next
chief of staff including loyalty political skills and management
experience but there's one thing any potential hire must do when the approval
of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump Trump's son-in-law and daughter who are
also White House advisors what a political ally and the chief of staff
job and they are using their unrivaled influence to ensure they get one
according to seven former and current White House officials those sources
describe a search process steered by the president he's just calling around to
friends as one Republican close to the White House put it but carefully
regulated by his family as Trump works to replace his outgoing chief of staff
John Kelly their influence could dim the chances of some candidates for the post
White House aides and allies say including one of trumps favorites Rep
mark meadows RN C who is not close with a 30-something couple they are also
opposed to the prospect of former grumpy T campaign manager David bossy taking on
the role it's also an obstacle for former New Jersey gov chris Christie who
put Kushner's father behind bars as a federal prosecutor in New Jersey
among Kushner and Ivanka Trump's top choices is Treasury Secretary Stephen
Nunn whom they view as extremely loyal Nanshan is said to be uninterested in
the often thankless job of trumps staff chief however Kushner in particular is
riding high at the moment on Tuesday Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
r-ky announced that the Senate would take up a criminal justice reform bill
that Kushner has spent months crafting and whose fate had recently seemed
uncertain Kushner was rewarded with a craning photo prominently featured on
The Drudge Report whose publisher Matt Drudge he has cultivated as an ally and
whose coverage Trump follows closely Kelley may have hastened his demise by
emerging as an internal rival of the couple the retired Marine general
they're vaguely defined government roles and unfettered access to trump
exasperating tensions between the two camps reached a fever pitch in February
when Kushner's interim security clearance was temporarily downgraded as
part of an overhaul of the approval process that Kelley ordered Kelly's exit
leaves Kirchner and Ivanka Trump with few influential opponents inside the
White House Kelley was the last one they wanted out said a former White House
official who worked with rum and Kushner during the 2016 campaign now it's not
just the president who needs to sign off on his next chief of staff the official
added it's Jared and the Ivanka they have a big voice the duo nearly
orchestrated the transition they wanted the installation of neck hairs chief of
staff to Vice President Mike Pence as Kelly's successor a second former White
House officials said Kushner and Aris bonded over mutual frustration with what
they considered Kelley's lack of political shrewdness and agreed that
Trump's next chief of staff needs sharper Washington instincts they were
both looking for a course correction someone who understands the political
side of things the official said but that plan imploded over the weekend one
airs a 36 year old father of young triplets refused to agree to a two-year
term and back Auto becoming chief of staff citing his family as a reason his
surprise decision landed the Trump family back at square one according to a
third former White House official now they are weighing which of the
candidates and whom Trump is interested meet their standards White House aides
and people close to the president are already betting that several candidates
will fall out of contention in the coming days because of their trouble or
insufficient relationships with Kushner and Ivanka Trump the former New Yorkers
also tend to favor cosmopolitan political moderates over the kind of
hard-core conservative activists who appeal to President Trump in addition to
Knutson their allies have included former chief White House economic
adviser Gary Cohn a former Goldman Sachs banker and former deputy national
security adviser Donna Powell also a Goldman Sachs executive
that category does not include bossy the former campaign aide and longtime
conservative activist who has protected his own reputation among the president's
aides and advisors but whose friendship with ex Trump campaign manager Corey
LaVon domsky is unsettling for many boss he would have a pretty good chance of
getting the job if not for them a source close to the White House said Tuesday
hours after bossy appeared on Fox and Friends in what some viewed as a kind of
audition for the role Trump is a well-known viewer of the show
I've certainly known that president to a long long time long before he was a
candidate boss he said I do feel I understand the movement that elected him
I understand his priorities when asked boss he acknowledged that he and Levante
offski will be having lunch with Trump on Friday some sources close to the
White House say boss he considers it more likely that he can land a deputy
job under medals for the conservative freedom caucus leader when the job one
possible factor in Meadows favor he recently defended Ivanka Trump's use
of a personal email account for official White House business tweeting that the
Hillary Clinton email scandal isn't even close to the Ivanka email issue other
candidates include White House councilor Kellyanne Conway and Budget Director
Mick Mulvaney u-s Trade Representative Robert light Heiser and Republican
fundraiser Wayne Berman during a rare interview on Monday night cushion are
revealed little about the chief of staff search to Fox News host and Trump French
sean hannity he said his father-in-law would make the right choice for chief of
staff when he's ready adding that Trump would choose somebody he's got great
chemistry with a great relationship with and who can aid his 2020 reelection bid
but Kushner and Ivanka Trump have not always had a Midas touch and their
personnel advice in 2016 Kushner helped persuade his
father-in-law Huayra seasoned political operative to help round up delegates at
the Republican National Convention that operative was Paul Manafort who went on

bank and tax fraud the couple also played a role in bringing Michael Flint
to the White House as national security adviser Flynn was fired a month into the
Trump administration after misleading pets about his contacts with Russian
officials he has since pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and is now a
cooperating witness in Mueller's probe and a pair also had a hand in bringing
on Anthony Scarah Messiah as White House communications director a position he
held for ten days before a spectacular flame out Kushner and Ivanka Trump have
installed several top aides who have proved reliable operators including
Powell long time pals Reid and Maggie Cordish who led separate White House
efforts on innovation and tax reform prior to leaving this year and Chris
Lytle who worked beside Kushner in the White House Office of American
innovation before kelly promoted him to deputy chief of staff for policy

investigations into his administration and the conclusion of Mueller's
