President Trump on Monday denied a Fox News report suggesting Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump would be part of a new White House task force aimed at reopening the economy.

From The Hill, "Trump says Jared and Ivanka won't be part of new economic coronavirus council":

President Trump told reporters Monday that senior advisers Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump would not be part of the White House council he is convening to guide the reopening of the U.S. economy.

Fox News had reported earlier Monday that the council was expected to include the president’s daughter and son-in-law.

President Trump said last week that he would likely announce the members of the new task force, which he said would be called the “Opening Our Country Council,” on Tuesday.

*** Original story follows ***

Jared Kushner, who reportedly advised President Trump to treat the coronavirus as a "PR problem" and avoid labeling it a "national emergency" to avoid spooking the markets, is reportedly joining the White House's task force on reopening the economy along with Ivanka.

From Fox News:

Trump announces he will formally convene an 'Opening our Country' task force April 14 that will be comprised of doctors and business leaders; reaction and analysis from economist Steve Moore and Austan Goolsbee, former Obama economic adviser.

President Trump said Monday he would make a decision -- "in conjunction" with governors and other officials -- on reopening the economy "shortly," as the White House forms a second coronavirus task force focused on that goal.

[...]The task force, according to sources, will also include members of President Trump’s Cabinet, including:

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Purdue, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, Labor Secretary Gene Scalia, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, and acting director of the Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought.

The task force is also expected to include acting chair of the Council of Economic Advisors Tom Philipson and White House advisers Larry Kudlow, Peter Navarro, Chris Liddell, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

I haven't seen anyone who is excited about Javanka joining this team.

The Council to Re-Open America is packed w/ agents of Wall Street, Big Ag, China 7 Silicon Valley. More like the Council to Re-Open America's Borders. Ivanka and Jared need permanent social distancing from White House! Wuhan govt consultant Elaine Chao should be fired. FIFY: pic.twitter.com/PZjmaXa8sq

In fact, I haven't seen anyone excited about anything these two have done in the White House except ConInc shills like Charlie Kirk.

"Jared Kushner has emerged as perhaps the most pivotal figure in the national fight against the fast-growing pandemic."

America is lucky to have Jared leading the charge in the war against America's invisible enemy—the Chinese Coronavirus

We will WIN! https://t.co/dTQ2QCbAXS
