Trump Had Kushner Push the National Enquirer to Probe Scarborough Murder Conspiracy
President Donald Trump, via his son-in-law Jared Kushner, encouraged his pals at the notorious supermarket tabloid National Enquirer in 2017 to push the debunked conspiracy theory that MSNBC host Joe Scarborough murdered a female congressional aide, knowledgeable sources confirmed to The Daily Beast.
More recently, the president has displayed a bizarre obsession with the allegations, even bringing it up Wednesday morning amid nationwide protests, chaos, and growing unrest, declaring on Fox News radio that he thought Scarborough “got away with murder.” Since last month, officials on Trump’s campaign and in his White House have also devoted time and resources to weighing in on the Scarborough smear.
Trump’s desire to trash the Morning Joe co-host long predates his recent and frequent ravings about the conspiracy theory while governing a country facing a global pandemic, a shattered economy, and widespread civil unrest over the death of George Floyd. In fact, the president attempted to plant the false and inflammatory tabloid story during the first year of his presidency, coinciding with a complete breakdown in his once warm relationship with the MSNBC host—a media feud that included accusations of a blackmail conspiracy and the president alleging that Scarborough’s wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski had gotten a botched, bloody facelift.
Even in late 2016, there was still a glimmer of friendship between Trump and the two longtime MSNBC personalities, as the future president would give the pair a personal tour of his prized campaign “war room,” even as he’d gleefully gossip behind their backs to random aides about the couple’s supposed Manhattan love nest.

Ignores rules, no grace whatsoever, and doesn't know how to hold a bible.
Looks like a grumpy old man full of himself!
