President Donald Trump‘s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has met with House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries.
The meeting between the highest ranking House Democrat and top Trump confidant, first reported on by the New York Times, took place in Manhattan ‘in recent weeks.’
The pair reportedly discussed housing, immigration and the rising cost of living during the meeting, which was arranged through a mutual friend.
Despite their political differences, Jeffries and Kushner have worked together before, helping advance the bipartisan First Step Act criminal justice reform law in 2018.
The meeting comes ahead of the midterm elections, as Democrats seek to regain control of Congress and Jeffries
