Kushner fundraises in North Carolina for MEADOWS

SCOOP -- JARED KUSHNER quietly escaped to North Carolina last night to raise money at a private fundraiser for REP. MARK MEADOWS (R-N.C.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, according to multiple sources familiar with the event.Meadows and Kushner have discussed Israel -- part of Kushner’s portfolio, and a key issue for Meadows -- and he has talked with Ivanka about paid leave, which faces long odds in the Republican Congress. Kushner went in a private capacity. WHY DOES THIS MATTER? Easy. Meadows has been a thorn in the side of Republican leaders for years, and is now one of the most powerful men in the Capitol. He has been a key ally of President Donald Trump’s -- and an intermediary between conservatives in the House and the White House. Kushner traveling to North Carolina ahead of the long weekend shows the nature of the relationship between Meadows and members of the Trump administration.
