Jared Kushner said he stopped Donald Trump from attacking Rupert Murdoch, according to new memoir

• In 2015, Donald Trump criticized Murdoch.

• According to his book, Kushner convinced Murdoch to support Trump.

• Fox News played a key role in helping Trump get elected.

According to his upcoming memoir, Donald Trump was stopped from attacking Murdoch.

In "breaking history," a copy of which was obtained by The Guardian, Kusher said his father-in-law was enraged by Murdoch's criticism of him while he was running for the Republican primary.

I got a call from Trump. He had reached the point where he had had enough. This man is not good. According to the paper, the author wrote in the book that he was going to use the internet to communicate.

I hoped he wasn't going to post a negative message about the most powerful man in conservative media. You don't have to be on the opposite side of him. I need a few hours to fix it.

According to The Guardian, Kushner claims in his book that he persuaded Murdoch to support his father-in-law.

Murdoch's Fox News helped boost Trump's rise from businessman to president.

Murdoch was critical of Trump when he first entered politics, saying "When is Donald Trump going to stop embarrassing his friends, let alone the entire country?"

After a New York Times story about Murdoch's dim view of Trump was published, Trump became enraged and visited the media mogul.

I said as we sat in his office that I thought he could win. You agree on a lot of things. You would like the government to be smaller. Lower taxes are what you want. "You want stronger borders.

Murdoch might have been "misjudging" the situation when he called to say he might have been surprised by Trump's seriousness about running.

Maybe I was not paying enough attention to this. There is a real following for him. According to the book, Murdoch said that he could be a kingmaker in the Republican primary if he played it right.

After convincing Murdoch that Trump wanted to be president, they came to a truce.

Fox News continued to support Trump despite reports of tension between the two men.

When Fox News called Arizona for Joe Biden in the 2020 election, it made the relationship difficult.

The media mogul told him the numbers were "ironclad" after he questioned the move on election night, according to previous reports.

Fox News stopped covering Trump after he lost the election and instead focused on other Republicans.

The memoir about his time as a senior adviser to Trump will be published in August.
