I purchased this book as an Audible book and what I took from this well investigated piece of journalism is that Ms. Ward really was able to get into the psyche of this couple pretending to be something they're not.
Kushner Inc. The couple known as Javanka.
As Ivanka's father does things more out in the open, the Javanka duo flies under the radar wreaking havoc with our systems of checks and balances that have been in place for more than two centuries. The damages, the secret dealings, etc... Javanka may have been able to unsettle the "norms" that we have built with blood sweat and tears all in the name of the selfish almighty dollar. If you thought Kushner Inc.'s 666 Park Avenue was a boondoggle, we may all hopefully (thank you Robert Mueller et alia.) find out that we have all just been flimflammed like nothing before.

To paraphrase the author, on the dangerous scale, Jared & Ivanka are #1 & #2 with Donald Trump, as terrible as he is, coming in at #3. Imagine that. While Donald Trump is acting out, getting all of the attention, these two are like sharks below the surface, making policy in the Middle East in order to make the Saudi's happy and being paid personally & handsomely for that policy". It's like Donald Trump is running cover for Jared & Ivanka. The biggest question remains. How much longer is the Republican Party going to allow this kind of nepotism and corruption to continue?

So far the only other review is someone who gave it one star because they personally don’t like Kushner. Well, if you don’t like Kushner, you’re going to love this book. It’s very juicy and full of interesting details. Like the fact that Jared‘s father, Charles Kushner, used to visit New York City under a fake name to have relations with men.

Journalist Vicky Ward's new book, "Kushner Inc: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump", is a fast read about two people at the center of the Donald Trump administration.
Though the book is about both Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, the publicity about the book seemed to stress more information about the Kushner family. The first three or so chapters are devoted to the Kushner family history - from Joe and Rae Kushner's experiences in Holocaust Poland to their emigrating to the United States in the mid-1940's and Joe's development into a real estate tycoon in New Jersey. Ward has a way of presenting facts that are more than slightly insinuate the the Kushner family - particularly Jared's father, Charlie - have not always practiced real estate on the up-and-up. And their familial relationships are both loving...and pathologically destructive. The reason for Charlie Kushner's time spent in prison in Alabama for a couple of years is both amusing and horrifying at the same time. (Just think "hooker", "brother-in-law", "photos" and "blackmail" and consider what might come. )
Most of Ward's book concerns Jared and Ivanka's (or "javanka") time in the 2016 election and working as unpaid advisors for Donald Trump in the White House. Some of the things I knew, others I didn't. Things - and people - change so often in the Trump White House and they seem to lurch from crisis to crisis on a daily basis, that whatever Ward writes today may be out-of-date by next week. But the book is fun to read and while I think that's the writing is a bit hurried, I can recommend "Kushner, Inc". (I'd also advise counting your fingers after you shake hands with any of the Kushners...)

Truly outrageous behaviour captured by Vicky Ward
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2019Verified Purchase
As an interested observer of the shenanigans taking place in Trumps White House I was appalled at how much influence the Kushners are able to exert. I finished the book post the Mueller report being made available, albeit in a heavily redacted form. In the report Kushner dodges a bullet and appears to have his Teflon coating in good order. When reading the book I kept wanting to scream how are the Kushner able to get away with the meddling and self serving behaviour that they seem to be guilty of. If you are not a fan of the Kushners, and that includes Charlie Kushner Jareds Father who is a noted felon, then by the end of the book you will be aghast at the behaviour of Ivanka and Jared Kushner, greedy,corrupt,ambitious and thoroughly rotten to the core people.

The most enlightening book on Trump and his entourage
Reviewed in Canada on March 23, 2019Verified Purchase
Over the past couple of years, there have been several worthwhile books written on Trump and his entourage. Kushner Inc. is arguably the most enlightening of them all.
Vicky Ward is a New York Times bestselling author, and a former contributing editor at Vanity Fair. She writes:
‘Trump was said to be discombobulated by the enormity of what Ivanka had done in converting to Judaism and marrying Kushner. ‘Why should my daughter convert to marry anyone?’ he asked. Ivanka’s wedding party was also a shock to her father, according to a friend of Trump’s. Women were given shawls when they arrived, and Ivanka’s dress covered her shoulders in keeping with conservative Jewish tradition. The sexes were asked to dance separately several times that night.
Trump liked Jared, but among friends he would openly say things like, ‘Why couldn’t she have married Tom Brady? Jared is half the size of Tom Brady’s forearm.’…
Jared used his new status as owner of the New York Observer to cultivate a social group whose other members were considerably older than he was. ‘He’s not hanging out with James Murdoch or Lachlan Murdoch. It’s Rupert that he’s hanging with,’ said a Kushner associate who knows him well…
Unlike his mentor, Rupert Murdoch, Jared seemed not to understand journalists. And he certainly did not respect them…
The Trumps’ overseas licensing deals attracted hustlers of every persuasion. The company’s original partner for a project Ivanka would later supervise in Toronto, for instance, would be extradited to the U.S., after fleeing the country following a guilty plea for bankruptcy fraud and embezzlement. The development would be taken over by a Russian-Canadian businessman who, it was reported, appeared to be using the building for a money-laundering scheme. By March 2018, the FBI was looking into a deal she helped put together with a Malaysian backer in Vancouver…
Enter Tom Barrack, who was also becoming a mentor of Kushner’s. Barrack suggested to Kushner and Ivanka that the campaign supplement Lewandowski with an old political hand, Paul Manafort, who had the expertise to get them through a presidential convention. Barrack and Manafort had known each other for over three decades and were very close, according to a former Manafort colleague who knows both men well.
Everyone with D.C. political experience knew Manafort was sleazy, and he’d been out of U.S. politics for ten years because of his ties to foreign powers – he’d taken money from Ukrainian oligarchs, Russians, and, well, anyone who would pay him…
In late May, a New York friend of Ivanka’s, Janet Boris, brokered a meeting between Kushner and Ivanka and Rebekah Mercer. Rebekah’s father, Robert Mercer, is a brilliant computer scientist who had cohelmed Renaissance Technologies, the ultrasuccessful, ultrasecretive hedge fund. He was also a stakeholder in Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics group in London whose proprietary psychographic modeling had been deployed by its parent company, Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL), in elections in Argentina, Kenya, Ghana and Indonesia – and was later used during the Brexit vote…
The Mercers had become a powerful force among conservatives, not just because they were huge donors but also because they were the majority stakeholders in Breitbart, the right-leaning populist website run by Steve Bannon…
Mercer instructed Bannon to help Trump. ‘I don’t care, whatever the money is, whatever he needs, give it to him,’ Mercer said…
In June, Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix reached out to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange because he had read that WikiLeaks planned to publish a trove of emails related to Hillary Clinton, the Democrats’ presidential candidate. Those emails had been stolen – hacked – by Russian intelligence from the account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and from the Democratic National Committee…
Upon being told that Kushner and Ivanka Trump were vacationing on a yacht in Croatia – he didn’t know it belonged to billionaire Democrat David Geffen – Bannon exercised his new authority. He warned Kushner that the media would ‘start coming after you guys’ if he and Ivanka stayed on Geffen’s yacht while the campaign they were supposedly leading collapsed (Photographs of Ivanka with Wendi Deng Murdoch in Croatia were all over the internet)…
The person appointed to run the inauguration committee was Tom Barrack, who’d been busy attempting to broker deals in the Middle East. Soon after the election, his jet touched down in Qatar, right around the time the Qatar Investment Authority was finalizing negotiations, as part of a consortium with Swiss mining firm Glencore, to purchase a nearly 20 percent stake in Rosneft, the Russian state oil company, for $12.2 billion, during a partial privatization. An Italian banking group, Intesa Sanpaolo, which, according to a source with knowledge, has ties to Barrack, would be involved in the transfer of funds…
With every passing day, it seemed less likely that Charlie Kushner would find a way to pay off 666 Fifth’s mortgage, which, with interest, had risen to $1.4 billion. And the family name was getting pummeled. On April 26, The New York Times reported that the Kushners had once partnered with the nephew of an Israeli billionaire, Beny Steinmetz, whose firm the federal government now suspected of bribing foreign officials…
On May 17, 2018, The New York Times reported that Kushner Companies and Brookfield Asset Management, a Canadian firm that invests in real estate, were approaching a deal whereby Kushner Companies would get a bailout on 666 Fifth Avenue. In the very first sentence of the article, the reporters lasered in on Brookfield’s ties to the government of Qatar…
Kushner was playing a game on a whole different level: he was playing for serious money. What Tillerson did not know at the time of the Qatari blockade – indeed, few knew then – was that in April, Kushner’s family had been courting the Qataris for financial help and had been turned down. When that story broke – almost a year later – the blockage and the Trump administration’s response to it suddenly all made sense…
The emails showed how RNC deputy finance chairman Elliot Broidy had plotted with George Nader, an adviser to MBZ to lobby the president, Kushner and the press against Qatar. Nader’s emails made it clear that Kushner’s friends in the Gulf mocked him behind his back: ‘You have to hear in private my Brother what Principals think of Clown prince Kushner’s efforts and his plan!’ Nader wrote, referring to Kushner’s peace plan. ‘Nobody would even waste cup of coffee on him if it wasn’t for who he is married to.’…
The Saudis had not liked dealing with Obama, but MBS saw in Trump a reflection of himself, according to a high-level diplomat who knows the prince…
According to The Intercept, MBS remarked to Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed that Kushner was ‘in my pocket’…
In March 2018, The Intercept reported that Kushner may have shared U.S. intelligence on Saudis disloyal to the crown prince with MBS…
The prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, living in exile in the U.S., commented to the New Yorker, ‘It’s an interesting form of dictatorship that is being created in Saudi Arabia. MBS is now becoming the supreme leader…
A few days after Kushner’s October visit, MBS had around 200 prominent Saudis, including at least 11 senior princes, rounded up. They were accused of corruption and detained in the same Ritz-Carlton hotel where, just weeks prior, MBS had been hosting Western businessmen and talking about how ‘free’ the new Saudi Arabia would be. The hostages – who were not tried, just expected to hand over billions in exchange for their release – included Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a prominent investor in Western companies, who had feuded with Trump via Twitter…
The Saudi crown prince clumsily denied involvement in the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, but the evidence was overwhelming, and MBS’s new nickname, globally, was Mr. Bone Saw...
Rather than expressing moral outrage over the cold-blooded murder of an innocent man, Kushner did what he always does in a crisis: he went quiet…
As Gallup shows in its global Rating World Leaders survey, with Trump, approval of U.S. leadership is now at an all-time low. However, Trump is not by any means acting alone, and books like Vicky Ward’s Kushner Inc. and Michael d’Antonio’s The Shadow President are essential guides to help us diagnose the full extent of the cancer of corruption we are now facing.
