Ann Coulter is one of President Trump’s biggest boosters, so you might expect her to leap to the defense of his senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who has become a target of media scrutiny in recent weeks. That is not what’s happening, however.
In a recent column published by Breitbart News and other conservative outlets, Coulter wrote that “the American media are so obsessed with their own Russian collusion story that they can’t see the possibility of actual corruption right in front of their noses.”
Clearly, Coulter has not lost her disdain for the media, but this is a nuanced critique. Though she thinks there is nothing to the idea that Trump’s campaign might have colluded with Russia to meddle in the presidential election, she also thinks Kushner’s meetings with Russians after the election look a bit sketchy — and that the press ought to focus on that, instead.
