President Trump went on Twitter on Thursday to deny news reports that his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner played a role in the announced departure of White House counsel Donald McGahn.
Trump announced Wednesday that McGahn, a low-key, 50-year-old lawyer who has been at his side since the early days of the 2016 presidential campaign, would leave his post at the White House in the fall.
“Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner had NOTHING to do with the so called ‘pushing out’ of Don McGahn,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning. “The Fake News Media has it, purposely, so wrong! They love to portray chaos in the White House when they know that chaos doesn’t exist-just a ‘smooth running machine’ with changing parts!”

Multiple news organizations reported Wednesday that there had been friction between McGahn and the president’s daughter and son-in-law, both of whom are advisers at the White House, which has experienced unusually high turnover under Trump.
