Kushner Trying to Sell His Newspaper

“Jared Kushner appears to be ready to pick up sticks and move to Washington, D.C., with his wife Ivanka Trump to become an adviser (either officially or unofficially) to his father-in-law, President-elect Donald Trump, and there’s at least one piece of Manhattan he wants to shed before he goes: The New York Observer,” according to WWD.

“According to people familiar with the matter, Kushner has been quietly shopping the storied paper to potential buyers.”
