they're doing it again>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., recently met privately with Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and informal adviser, and they discussed possible areas of cooperation, a source familiar with the meeting confirmed to NBC News.>The meeting was an unusual instance of a top Democrat and a close Trump confidant coming together to discuss common ground. Jeffries, the top Democrat in the House, is one of Trump’s most prominent critics. Meanwhile, Kushner is a close relative of Trump’s and has taken on a slate of high-profile foreign policy issues as special envoy. >Despite their different policy perspectives, Jeffries and Kushner previously joined forces to champion a criminal justice reform bill during Trump’s first term. Kushner championed the bill, which Jeffries signed on to as a co-sponsor, giving it a bipartisan boost. The legislation, dubbed the First Step Act, was signed into law in 2018. ttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/hakeem-jeffries-jared-kushner-meet-nyc-democrats-trump-work-together-rcna594014
