When Kushner appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier this month for his audience on the position, Kushner told the panel that he had committed “very, very, very serious mistakes.”
But he told the committee that he believed that his mistakes did it “better with my judgment, better in my vision of life, better in my values to really make me more qualified to do this job.”
Kushner is the father of Trump’s son -in -law and former advisor, Jared Kushner.
