Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and a former presidential adviser, testified to the House select committee investigating Jan. 6 that he viewed threats from White House lawyers to quit over Trump's plot to overturn his loss as "whining."
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the committee's vice-chair, played a clip of Kushner's deposition during the first committee hearing on Thursday night. Kushner told the panel that he was more focused on working on pardons ahead of Trump's departure than threats from White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his team to quit if the president went ahead with his bid to subvert the election.
