Independent presidential candidate Kanye West met secretly with President Trump’s sister-in-law and former adviser Jared Kushner last weekend, according to a new report.
The billionaire rapper had been camping with his family, including superstar wife Kim Kardashian West and their four children, in Colorado when he flew to Telluride to meet Kushner and his wife, first daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump, according to the New York Times.
The paper reports that Kushner and Ivanka were traveling in Telluride that weekend. The sneaker mogul was not attended by his wife during the meeting.
Reached by the Times for commentary on his meeting with Kushner, the rap superstar took to Twitter.
‘I’m ready to do a live interview with the New York Time [sic] about my meeting with Jared, ” he wrote on the social media platform, adding that they discussed “PowerNomics,” a book on black empowerment by Dr. Claude Anderson.
The paper reported that West declined to elaborate on his meeting with the first son-in-law in a follow-up telephone interview, but “expressed anger over abortion rates among Black women” before saying he “did not reflexively support Democrats.”
Asked about the West’s effort last Wednesday, President Trump denied any connection to it, saying in a White House press release, ‘I love him. He has always treated me very kindly. ”
Asked if he was aware or involved with West to get the vote, Trump said he knew nothing about it, and simply said, ‘No, not at all.
‘I get along very well with him. I agree with him. I love his wife, ”he admitted.
West launched its independent presidential bid at the late entry over July 4 weekend under the “Birthday Party” platform.
Since then, he has fought an emerging battle for voting with access to voting per state without any of the traditional campaign infrastructure.
West has so far managed to get himself in the mood in three states: Colorado, Oklahoma and Vermont.
A White House spokesman did not respond to a request for comment from The Post.
