Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were repeatedly rejected when they tried to fly on Air Force planes, so they found a workaround

David Choi 15h

The White House senior advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's daughter and son-in-law, have sought to assert some authority over flights funded by the State Department.

That's according to a new book by the journalist Vicky Ward that was previewed by The New York Times.

The Times cited Ward as saying she interviewed more than 200 people for the book, "Kushner Inc: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump."

According to The Times, "Kushner Inc.," scheduled for release March 19, describes Ivanka Trump as having frequently asked to travel on Air Force planes when doing so was not always necessary. While still secretary of state, Rex Tillerson reportedly rejected her requests.

Ivanka Trump found a work-around by inviting Cabinet-level officials to trips, The Times reported.

And I'm sure she feels that she's entitled to fly on those planes. Commercial flights are for the little people.

I wonder how much the Trump cabal has swindled so far. It's got to be an astronomical sum.

Probably because no one has ever said that word to her. Ever.
