WH officials warned Trump that talking to Bob Woodward was a bad idea, we are told. But Trump went forward with the hours of interviews anyway. A source, who has direct knowledge of discussions, said Trump and Kushner thought Woodward interviews were a good idea.
Aides to the president "had concerns and voiced them repeatedly," the source said
A separate source familiar with the situation pushed back on any notion that Kushner signed off on the interviews. The source said Kushner viewed Woodward with caution. Kushner ultimately spoke to Woodward to infuse some honesty into the book, the source said.

Does that mean Kushner assumed that his father-in-law would tell nothing but lies and that his voice (Jareds) would be required in order to infuse some truth?
Thats one of the lamest defenses I have ever heard.
