Jared Kushner tried to keep his thyroid cancer diagnosis hidden from father-in-law Donald Trump. Diagnosed in 2019 while Donald was still POTUS, Kushner wrote in his August memoir “Breaking History: A White House Memoir” (via by The New York Times) that, besides wife Ivanka Trump and a few other inner-circle staffers, “I didn’t tell anyone at the White House—including the president.”
Nonetheless, Donald found out the day before Kushner’s surgery, pulling his son-in-law aside to ask if he was nervous about the operation. “‘Are you nervous about the surgery?’ he asked,” Kushner wrote. When asked how he knew, Trump reportedly told Kushner, “I’m the president. I know everything,” adding that he respected Kushner’s desire to keep such matters private. “You’ll be just fine. Don’t worry about anything with work,” Donald reportedly reassured.
Since leaving their White House posts in 2021, Kushner and Ivanka, along with their three children, have settled in the small Floridian town of Surfside, away from public scrutiny per People. “They’re really just settling into normal life and really enjoying it,” an insider told the outlet. For Kushner, the source added, he has seized the opportunity to spend “a lot more time with his family,” as past White House duties often prevented him from doing so.
