A top Trump aide will have to give up working with top advisors dealing with the wars in Ukraine and Iran, according to a new report.
Josh Gruenbaum was a former advisor for Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. A reportby Politico on Wednesday quoted anonymous sources who said that “he fell out of favor” and had a “penchant for self-promotion and an abrasive work style” that “rankled some of Trump’s other senior advisers.”
Gruenbaum, 40, was exiled to Trump’s Board of Peace, where he’ll be focused on Gaza. He first worked alongside Kushner and Witkoff on the Gaza ceasefire deal.
According to Politico, “he flooded various administration officials with phone calls and was seen as very focused on how his name appeared in stories and official communications.”
One anonymous source said that, “While Kushner and Witkoff remain Gruenbaum’s allies, the pair didn’t stand in the way of paring back his duties.”
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly confirmed that Gruenbaum “will continue to advance the President’s agenda” on the Board of Peace, Politico reported.
Meanwhile, “Gruenbaum referred questions to the White House.”
