Trump Thought Firing Flynn Would End 'Russia Thing,' Chris Christie Writes in Book

President Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, believed that the “Russia thing” would end as a side effect from the firing of the national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, in the early days of the administration, according to an account in a new memoir by Chris Christie.

The incident recounted in Mr. Christie’s book, “Let Me Finish,” is among the anecdotes describing how the president and Mr. Kushner grappled with a campaign and a presidency that Mr. Christie says neither was prepared for.

Part autobiography and part firsthand accounting of a historic presidency, the book, which will be released on Tuesday, paints Mr. Trump as a phenom who was obviously effective as a candidate — but who has relied on the wrong people and has been ill-served by many advisers, including some members of his family.

Mr. Christie, the former two-term governor of New Jersey and a longtime friend of the president, was among Mr. Trump’s challengers for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. He became a key, early supporter of Mr. Trump after withdrawing from the race, and then ran Mr. Trump’s transition — until he was fired shortly after the election, reportedly at the direction of Mr. Kushner. He recently withdrew from consideration as White House chief of staff.

Guess you should have expected that after putting Kushner's daddy in jail.
