I read the piece by Peter Baker just now, and I am pretty skeptical. It looks like an attempt at exoneration. Exactly how did Baker come by his version of events? There are really no direct quotes to support it. If the January 6th Committee shows relevant testimony from Kushner, that might add to our understanding. My personal reaction, when I heard that he and Ivanka were moving to a very ritzy part of Miami, was that they were simply investing their winnings from their association with the Trump presidency. If they did not support the extreme efforts of Trump and followers to overturn the 2020 election results, they could have done a lot more than just retire from the scene. They could have spoken up, for instance.

They could have given their stolen money to indigent and poor people but alas…that’s not in their repertoire.
