A new book that portrays a dysfunctional White House also describes Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner fearfully eyeing special counsel Robert Mueller's probe out of concern their own finances could come under the microscope.

The pair became panicked, according to the book, as the FBI and Justice Department moved in that direction, fueled by Kushner's father, Charles, who started the family real estate empire.

'Ivanka is terrified,' former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told Wolff, referring to the telegenic pair as 'the kids' in Michael Wolff's 'Fire and Fury, Inside the Trump White House.'

Kushner's finances came under increasing public scrutiny in the early days of the Trump administration, as Chinese giant Anbang Insurance Group pulled out of a New York real estate deal for a trophy Kushner property on Fifth Avenue.

The book recounts President Donald Trump telling 'multiple people' that Kushner could solve the Middle East problem 'because the Kushners knew all the crooks in Israel.'

The book describes Charles Kushner has having a fear 'channeled' through his son and daughter-in-law about getting wrapped up in the probe. The book describes him in a state of 'panic.'

The fears are described as a backdrop for Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey despite the urgings of his chief of staff, Reince Priebus.

Kushner did not oppose the firing, and the 'Kushner side' is quoted explaining the extent of his involvement in the decision.

'Did he support the decision? Yes. Was he told this was happening? Yes. Did he encourage it? No. Was he fighting for it for weeks and months? No. Did he fight [the ouster]? No. Did he say it would go badly? No.'

After Trump carried out the firing, former chief of staff Reince Priebus, who argued against the decision, is quoted saying: 'So next it's a special prosecutor!'

The White House has called the book full of 'lies.'

A December report in Bloomberg catalogued times when Kushner Companies hyped its stake in investments where the family in fact owned only a fractional percentage.

In one prominent deal, at 80-90 Maiden Lane, the stake was just 2 percent, according to the report.

Jared Kushner had to make numerous revisions to his financial disclosure reports when he joined the administration and got a security clearance.

He failed to disclose his role as a director fo the Charles and Seryl Kushner Foundation from 2006 to 2015, which funded Israeli settlement construction considered illegal at the time under international law, Newsweek reported.

The president's daughter and son-in-law were among those spotted partying at President Trump's luxury hotel in Washington Thursday night, Politico Playbook reported, as a series of explosive excerpts came out and copies of the book proliferated.

Also spotted was chief economic advisor, who is described in the book as calling the president 'dumb as s***.'

A White House official told DailyMail.com Kushner and Ivanka held a 'holiday party to thank staff that was planned months in advance. Invites went out last year.'
