Recently, New York Times correspondent, CNN analyst, and so-called “Trump Whisperer” Maggie Haberman, along with Pulitzer-prize-winning NYT correspondent Michael Schmidt, broke bombshell reporting, confirming that Donald Trump’s eldest daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner have been cooperating with multiple investigations against the ex-president — with the most recent development seeing Donald’s son-in-law delivering under oath testimony to Garland-appointed DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith in his investigation into Trump’s attempt to overthrow a United States presidential election.
This development is in addition to the previously known fact that both Jared and Ivanka cooperated with the grand jury investigation into Trump’s role in inciting the violent, deadly January 6th insurrection against the US Capitol and the congressional members inside, including his own vice president, Mike Pence.
Just minutes after that bombshell dropped, CNN’s Jake Tapper was able to score a phone call with Haberman on an episode of CNN’s The Lead, where he questioned the infamous “Trump Whisperer” on not only how Jared and Ivanka’s cooperation actually went down, but how the big guy is handling the news.
Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump is “very upset.”

Mediaite reported on the discussion between Haberman and Tapper:
TAPPER: In addition to this news that you’re breaking about Jared Kushner sitting for testimony being asked questions by prosecutors looking into his father-in-law trying to steal the election from the winner of President Joe Biden, we also know that Ivanka Trump cooperated with the January 6 committee. And I’m wondering, how is the relationship between Donald Trump who surrounds himself with people who tell him that he won the election which he did not, and these two individuals, his daughter, and his son in law.
HABERMAN: Jake, my understanding for multiple people when the testimony was aired showing both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump being interviewed by the House Select Committee during those live hearings was the Trump was very upset, particularly that Ivanka Trump. He was not happy about these video clips showing her suggesting that she had believed what Bill Barr was saying and Bill Barr, the former attorney general, of course, said that there wasn’t a widespread fraud and told Trump that and he testified to all of that. My understanding is things have improved them, but it definitely brought a strain to the relationship.”
If I found out my family was turning on me, I’d be very upset too.
