Chris Christie (R) said Friday that he no longer wants to be considered for the role of President Donald Trump’s next chief of staff. One hindrance for Christie could have been his relationship with Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, whose father Christie prosecuted during his time as U.S. attorney for New Jersey. Kushner is a candidate for the chief of staff job, HuffPost reported on Thursday. Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Nick Ayers, was seen as Trump’s top pick for the position. But he decided to leave the White House instead.
