President Donald Trump has told his daughter Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner, to move back to New York, fueling rumors of a strained relationship between his son-in-law and senior adviser, according to a new report.
Trump is pressuring the couple to move back home to escape the negative press coverage.
“He keeps pressuring them to go,” a source told Vanity Fair magazine.
The latest report follows an earlier story that Trump has mentioned his concerns in front of other staffers, telling his daughter and White House adviser, “Baby, you’re getting killed, this is a bad deal.”
Kushner’s influence in the White House appears to be waning, signaling that the couple could soon be leaving town. Chief of staff John Kelly has “clipped his wings.”
Kelly reportedly created a new system under which all advisers are required to report to him. This means Ivanka Trump has to go through Kelly to get to her father.
Kushner is apparently also not on the good side of Kelly, who reportedly expressed discontent over Kushner’s visit to Saudi Arabia in October. On the trip, Kushner reportedly met with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
Axios reported on Monday that Ivanka Trump and Kushner are staying out of Kelly’s way as the chief of staff tries to restore order.
It’s unclear if Kushner and the first daughter will decamp to New York City, where they still have an apartment. The couple currently lives in a $5.5-million home in the ritzy Kalorama section of Washington, D.C.

If true, excellent news!
Kelly was opposed to Kushner’s trip to Saudi Arabia?
And it’s never a good idea when one man controls access to the chief of state.
“A source?” Typical NewsWeek. As soon as I see who the article was written by I move on.
I hope this is not FAKE news.
I’ll be delighted when Javanka are back in NYC. NYC misses them LOL
Coming from newsweak I will need another source or two.
Not buying it, as much as I would like for to be so.
please oh please oh please oh please oh....
He phrased it in terms of damage to Ivanka but I wonder.
IMHO, President Trump made a mistake getting them involved with the White House and politics. Appears to not be their cup of tea.
Fake news.
Reads like something from a gossip rag. More Trump-haters trying to stir the Shinola to make it look like his Administration is flailing and in chaos.
I hope they go and take Jamie Gorelick with them
How can Jared make World Peace if he is back in NY?
How can Ivanka save the children if she is back in NY too?
Yes!
at least she got her child care tax credit! :)
Ha. It’s not law yet.
“Axios reported on Monday that Ivanka Trump and Kushner are staying out of Kelly’s way as the chief of staff tries to restore order.”
This is the point of the story. The White House is in CHAOS! Trump has lost control.
More fake news.
Good riddance, Lib Dems
