With so much drama surrounding the White House these past few weeks … with round-the-clock news coverage of mistresses, Playboy bunnies, FBI raids, Michael Cohen … there has been very little press devoted to two familiar names, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
It’s as if Jarvanka (as the couple is derisively called) skipped town.
Well, last week, they did.
The two attended the Summit of the Americas in Lima, Peru, along with Vice President Mike Pence, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, and United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
Some observers have noted that whenever things heat up in Washington D.C., the power couple seems to make themselves scarce.
As Republican efforts to repeal Obamacare were sinking in the Senate during the spring of 2017, Kushner and family skied in Aspen. During protests in defense of confederate monuments in Charlottesville in August, Jared and Ivanka escaped Washington, D.C. for a quick trip to Vermont.
And so, following the raid of the home, office and hotel room of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, Jarvanka decides to head for Peru?
It is possible what law enforcement agents find in documents seized from Cohen (e-mails, tax documents, and business records, or from whatever Cohen decides to share with investigators) could be very harmful for Jarvanka.
The Summit of the Americas is a two-day gathering for heads of state from the Western hemisphere that occurs every three years.
Though the summit has ended, no one seems to be sure of the current whereabouts of Jared and Ivanka. Have they decided to extend their stay?
Does anyone know if Peru and the United States have an extradition agreement?
