Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump didn’t let a series of revelations from a new bombshell book prevent them from partying at President Trump’s luxury hotel in Washington.
The president’s daughter and son-in-law were among those spotted partying there Thursday night, Politico Playbook reported, as a series of explosive excerpts came out and copies of the book proliferated.
The book depicts Ivanka and Kushner as virtually at war with Steve Bannon inside a tumultuous White House.
Also spotted was chief economic advisor, who is described in the book as calling the president ‘dumb as s***.’

Cohn was also reportedly infuriated by the president’s ham-handed response to the unrest in Charlottesville.
A White House official told DailyMail.com Kushner and Ivanka held a ‘holiday party to thank staff that was planned months in advance. Invites went out last year.’
The book describes others taking a dim view of the president’s intellect.
‘For Steve Mnuchin and Reince Priebus, he was an ‘idiot,’” according to ‘Fire and Fury, Inside the Trump White House,’ by Michael Wolff.
“For Gary Cohn, he was ‘dumb as shit.’ For H.R. McMaster he was a ‘dope.’ The list went on,” Wolff wrote.

Cohn got asked about the book on Fox Business Network.
Asked whether it was getting in the way of Trump’s economic agenda, he said: ‘Absolutely not, Stuart. I was meeting in the Oval Office with the president yesterday with six or seven key senators, we spent 100 percent of the time talking about the 2018 legislative agenda, what we need to do, how we’re going to get things done, and how we are going to improve the lives of American citizens.’
Another portion of the book describes Ivanka Trump and Kushner’s concern that Kushner family finances could come under scrutiny by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The pair became panicked, according to the book, as the FBI and Justice Department moved in that direction.
‘Ivanka is terrified,’ former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told Wolff.
The book recounts the president telling ‘multiple people’ that Kushner could solve the Middle East problem ‘because the Kushners knew all the crooks in Israel.’
