JARED wrote the anonymous anti-Trump op-ed – according to right-wing columnist Ann Coulter, who thinks Kushner will need post-White House excuse to re-enter New York society

  • The conservative author argues President Trump's son-in-law will need the op-ed to tell New York society he was a line of defense in the administration
  • Jared Kushner and wife Ivanka Trump work as advisers to the president
  • Donald Trump Jr said his father has few people he can trust in the White House but that family are some of them
  • Ann Coulter is promoting her new book 

Jared Kushner is the top pick of conservative columnist Ann Coulter as the author of the anonymous New York Time op-ed because he'll need it to re-enter New York society, she claims.

The name of President Donald Trump's son-in-law has floated around as a contender for the 'senior official in the Trump administration' who penned the piece describing a 'resistance' movement in the White House.  

Coulter said Kushner would write it so he could claim to New York society he and wife Ivanka Trump were the rational voices in the administration.

She offered no further proof. 

'Because he and Ivanka are going to have to go back to the Upper East Side and go to the Hamptons,' Coulter told The Daily Beast. 'They're probably worried that Trump will be removed within the next few years. They had just gone to the McCain funeral, and [the op-ed] was right after Labor Day, so they were probably feeling wistful for the Hamptons. And the only way they can get back in is if they can say, 'Don't worry, we're the ones who stopped the wall.'

The couple was at the late Senator John McCain's funeral service on Saturday, September 1, at the Washington National Cathedral. 

They both work in the White House as advisers to President Trump. 

She also slammed Kushner for working on prison reform, pointing out his father served time.

Charles Kushner, spent 14 months in prison from 2005 to 2006 after pleading guilty to tax evasion, election law violations and witness-tampering felonies. 

'On a larger point, there's his prison reform, which you'd think would be a little embarrassing for a guy whose father spent time in prison,' she said.

Coulter is promoting her latest book 'Resistance Is Futile! How the Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mind.' 

Guessing who wrote the piece has become one of Washington D.C.'s new favorite parlor games.  

The New York Times opinion piece describes the president as 'impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective' and says the author is part of an organized 'resistance' whose goal is 'to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting [President] Trump's more misguided impulses until he is out of office.' 

Donald Trump Jr. indicated family members like Ivanka and Jared remain in the fold

Multiple administration officials - including first lady Melania Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and all Cabinet secretaries - have denied being the author.

And Donald Trump Jr. said earlier this week there are few people working in the White House his father can trust in the wake of the anonymous New York Times' op-ed and Bob Woodward's book 'Fear,' which paints an administration in chaos. 

'I think there are people in there that he can trust, it's just - it's a much smaller group than I would like it to be,' he told ABC News in an interview that aired Tuesday on 'Good Morning America.'   

The first son declined to say who he trusts in the West Wing but suggested that family members working in the administration remain a part of the inner circle.

President Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are both White House advisers.

'I'm talking outside family. That goes without saying,' Trump Jr. said.
