Before introducing Donald Trump to roughly a dozen Republican lawmakers at
the Washington law offices of Jones
Day ecco shoes clearance
sale , U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions paused to acknowledge the man he said
had facilitated the closed-door talks.
He said it was Jared Kushner, a 35-year-old real estate investor and
newspaper owner, who had suggested the get-together last month, arguing that it
would enable Trump to win more allies on Capitol Hill, according to a person in
the room.
Kushner is also Trump's son-in-law, having married the Republican
presidential front-runner's daughter Ivanka in 2009.
A real-estate tycoon like his
father-in-law ecco casual shoes
clearance , Kushner has emerged as one of a very few advisers as Trump
seeks the Republican nomination to the Nov. 8 election, according to five people
close to Trump.
It is especially rare given that Trump styles himself as his own best adviser
and has said he consults only a few people despite a promise to hire the
country's top minds once he becomes president.
While "well respected," Kushner has no official campaign role, Trump
spokeswoman Hope Hicks said. She confirmed however that Kushner had helped with
the Sessions meeting and had informally advised the candidate on Israel and in
other areas.
In an interview Kushner's friend David Schulhof, founder of a music
publishing company, cited a level-headedness and listening skill that would make
Kushner a calming influence.

69, who entered the race 10 months ago hailing his having never held public
office as an asset, but whose campaign has been rocked by turbulence over
remarks offensive to women, Muslims, immigrants, party loyalists and others.
At times Kushner has urged Trump to behave like a more traditional
candidate ECCO
Mens Yucatan Sandals 069564-50034 Black , stressing the importance of
building relationships with politicians and traditionally active donors, say the
sources close to Trump, speaking on condition of anonymity.
They also say Kushner can use friendships like the ones he has with media
mogul Rupert Murdoch and billionaire Ronald Perelman as a bridge to influential
people with whom his father-in-law is not close. Neither Murdoch nor Perelman
would comment for this story.
ISRAEL CONNECTIONS
An Orthodox Jew, whose wife Ivanka converted to Judaism before they married,
Kushner and his family have connections to Israel. Along with his father, also a
prominent real-estate
developer ECCO
Chander Classic Fisherman Sandals 530914-01001 Black , Kushner was listed
in a 2015 report by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as a
benefactor for its real estate committee, which required a donation of at least
$36,000 to the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group.
Kushner's parents donated $20 million two years ago to a medical school
campus in Jerusalem now named after them.
Using his family and business ties, Kushner arranged a series of meetings for
Trump during a trip the candidate planned to make to Israel last year, the
sources say.
The trip never happened. Trump scrapped it after Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu condemned his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the
United States. Trump later suggested that if elected he would not take sides in
the dispute between Israel and the Palestinians, a stance he said would help him
negotiate a peace deal but which was unusually neutral for an American
politician looking to court voters on Israel.
Ahead of AIPAC's annual conference last month in
Washington Men'S
ECCO Intrinsic Sandals 842014 Black , Kushner advised his father-in-law to
lay out concrete policies that would help smooth over relations with the Jewish
community, according to two sources. He further advised him to use a
teleprompter for the speech, ditching his usual conversational style, the people
close to Trump said.
It was also Kushner who fielded a call from Israel's ambassador to the United
States, Ron Dermer, who wanted to offer Trump the Israeli government's
perspective ahead of the AIPAC
speech ECCO
Irving Fisherman Sandals 511534-01001 Black , according to the sources.
Dermer's office declined to comment.
In the end, Trump delivered an uncharacteristically detailed speech to the
18,000 people who attended the conference, outlining a series of policy
positions broadly aligned with AIPAC's. An AIPAC spokesman declined to comment.
Trump told attendees that Palestinians must scrub hatred of Israel from their
educational system and stop naming public places after people who attacked
Israel. He said the United States must stand with Israel in rejecting attempts
by the United Nations to impose restrictions on Israel or parameters for a peace
deal. He criticized the U.S. deal with Iran as bad for Israel.
While helping Trump craft the speech, Kushner sought advice from the
politically connected editor of his newspaper, the New York Observer. The
editor ECCO
Mens Intrinsic Sandals 842004-51052 Black , Ken Kurson, a former speech
writer for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, wrote in an email to Reuters
that he reviewed the speech before Trump delivered it.
FAMILY TIES
Trump has loomed large in Kushner's life since day one of his marriage. The
New York Post reported that invitations to Kushner's wedding, held at a Trump
golf club in New Jersey, included a flier advertising Trump's other golf
properties.
Kushner, who with his wife has taken family vacations with News Corp owner
Murdoch and his ex-wife Wendi
Deng ECCO
Mens Cruise Sandals 841564-02001 Black , has worked to calm Murdoch's ire
with Trump over the candidate's criticism of the company's Fox News Channel and
star anchor Megyn Kelly, two people familiar with his activities say.
During regular phone calls and lunches Kushner tries both to soothe Murdoch
and stump for his father-in-law, these people said.

Despite his influence behind the scenes, Kushner keeps a largely low profile
on the campaign trail. During a Trump rally in South Carolina last
