Kushner Floating Trump-Branded Media Company

October 22, 2020 · 5:33 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Jared Kushner has been talking up the idea of starting a Donald Trump-themed news outlet or some other media company, possibly as soon as after the election,” Business Insider reports.

“Kushner has floated the idea to Republicans and media types throughout the year… But the increased chatter about the rise of another conservative media outlet, possibly branded under the Trump name, has kicked up even more over the last few weeks as the president’s re-election chances continue to sink.”

Said one Republican: “There’s no doubt in my mind that Jared’s future is in building a media empire of some kind. He believes that controlling the media means controlling the policy, controlling the people.”
