When Kushner appeared before the senatorial committee of foreign relations at the beginning of the month for his hearing on the post, Kushner declared to the panel he had made “very, very, very serious errors”.
But he told the committee that he believed that his mistakes made him “better with my judgment, better in my vision of life, better in my values to make me more qualified to do this work”.
Kushner is the father of Trump son -in -law and former advisor, Jared Kushner.
