It's been a rough few days in Washington, as President Trump and his legal team cannot agree on whether he is under investigation, but there was one bright spot on Monday: Jared Kushner's voice was finally heard.
Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser was a "secretive presence, best known for silently lurking behind Trump in meetings," Seth Meyers said on Monday's Late Night, but with all of the bad press surrounding the White House, someone in the administration thought it would be a great idea to get Kushner to speak in public. During a meeting with tech CEOs, Kushner started talking about something, but really, everyone was just paying attention to what his voice sounded like. Meyers wasn't impressed. "That's the mastermind who tried to set up a back channel with Russia?" he asked, adding, "His title says 'senior adviser,' but his voice says 'senior at Claremont High School.'"
