U.S. media revealed that U.S. President Trump once blamed Jared Kushner, a senior adviser to the president, for the increase in coronavirus testing in the United States because he believed that the increase in testing pushed up the number of confirmed cases, which led to his political passiveness.
On December 31, 2020, the New York Times quoted several current and former officials as saying that at a high-level White House meeting in August 2020, Trump shouted at Kushner, who was involved in the matter because of the increase in coronavirus testing in the United States: “You are harming me.” Trump blames Kushner for ramping coronavirus testing as he prepares up for presidential debate: ‘I’m going to lose.
It’s your fault, because these tests are carried out.” The White House denied the above story.
