Jared Kushner, Donald Trumps son-in-law, personally ordered the Biden administration to be excluded from Covid-19 planning in the wake of the 2020 election, a Jan 6 committee witness has claimed.
In the days and weeks after Joe Biden defeated Mr Trump, he frequently castigated the Trump administration for failing to enter a formal transition process, in which new, incoming staff are brought up to speed by their outgoing counterparts.
With the nation gripped by the Covid-19 pandemic, he was particularly angered that by slowing the transition process, Mr Trumps actions could lead to more deaths.
