The book, "Kushner Inc.," written by journalist Vicky Ward, said the first daughter's comments were made during a conversation with Gary Cohn, the administration's then-top economic adviser who was on the brink of resigning in the days following the President's response to the tragedy in Charlottesville, according to the Times. The book, the Times reported, said that in his meeting with Ivanka Trump, Cohn was "shocked" by her reaction to his concerns and that she told him of her father's comments, "That's not what he said." Cohn eventually left the White House in March 2018 in the wake of a battle with the President over steel and aluminum tariffs. The book, which is slated to be released next week, focuses on the President's daughter and son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner. According to the Times, it "seeks to tell the behind-the-scenes story" of the couple's "rise to extraordinary power in the White House."
