Kyle Pope spent 18 months running The New York Observer (now just the Observer) under Jared Kushner, a period he recently documented in the widely read piece, “The Jared Bubble.” In that time, Pope says he was forced to contend with more problems than he had ever anticipated when he took the job: Jared’s father (who Jared calls “daddy”) allegedly wanted his son to order “hit pieces,” Jared’s mother complained about the décor in people’s offices and tried to have a rug removed, and, on one occasion, Pope was forced to have a sit-down with Donald Trump himself.

Pope swings by Inside the Hive to tell these stories, and others, and explain what the future might look like for Kushner and Ivanka Trump when this all comes crashing down.
