Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior advisor to president Trump reportedly lashed out at a senior executive from CNN’s parent company, according to the Wall Street Journal, over commentary from some of the networks contributors.

“Mr Kushner has taken issue with specific CNN contributors including Van Jones, a Democrat who served in the Obama administration, and Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist, who have each criticised Mr Trump in harsh terms, the people familiar with the matter said,” the report said.

Ana Navaro took to Twitter to reply to Kushner.

“Really, Little Jared complaining about me cuz I get under President Daddy-in-Law's skin? Oh, baby boy, I’m so sorry,” she wrote.

In another tweet, she added: “Little boy Kushner, tough guy who’s supposed to achieve Middle East peace, is complaining about me to CNN. Boo-hoo!”
