The ex-president's son-in-law and former adviser made the revelation in a new memoir.
on Monday, Kushner wrote that he was given the diagnosis in October 2019 during trade negotiations with China.“As this high-wire act of trade talks with the Chinese progressed, I had to confront an unexpected and frightening personal problem,” Kushner wrote. “On the morning that I traveled to Texas to attend the opening of a Louis Vuitton factory, White House physician Sean Conley pulled me into the medical cabin on Air Force One. ‘Your test results came back from Walter Reed,’ he said.
He wrote that he told only his wife Ivanka Trump, colleague Avi Berkowitz, Trump deputy assistant Cassidy Luna and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.But Trump did eventually find out, asking Kushner behind closed doors the day before his procedure: “Are you nervous about the surgery?” Kushner wrote.“‘I’m the president,’” Trump replied, according to the book. “I know everything.”
Kushner wrote that doctors removed a substantial part of his thyroid, and that he was thankful the cancer was caught early.
