House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Trump adviser Jared Kushner held a private meeting in Manhattan to discuss issues such as housing, immigration and cost of living, according to sources.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner, the former president’s son-in-law and former senior adviser, in Manhattan. Sources familiar with the encounter said the two discussed potential areas of bipartisan cooperation, including housing policy, immigration reform and the high cost of living. The meeting, arranged by a mutual acquaintance, was reported by multiple outlets but details on the timing and specific content remain limited.
Both men have previously collaborated on criminal-justice legislation; Kushner supported the First Step Act, which Jeffries co-sponsored and which became law in 2018. The discussion occurs as the 2024 campaign season intensifies, with Democrats seeking to regain control of Congress. Jeffries, who is expected to become speaker if Democrats win the House, has signaled plans for aggressive oversight of the administration on several issues.
The White House and Jeffries’ office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
