NY Observer Editor Gave Trump Input on AIPAC Speech, Observer Issues Statement
Donald Trump‘s daughter Ivanka––who recently gave birth––is married to Jared Kushner. Kushner owns the New York Observer, and that publication has come under some scrutiny over one of its editors giving Trump input on his AIPAC speech.

This isn’t the first time he’s had to address conflicts of interest, but this time Observer senior policy editor Jill Jorgensen released a lengthy statement to HuffPost announcing they’ll be reviewing how they cover Trump:
A recent report about Observer Editor Ken Kurson’s input on a speech delivered by Donald Trump before AIPAC has resulted in new scrutiny of our newspaper’s relationship with Mr. Trump, who is the father-in-law of our publisher, Jared Kushner. Going forward, there will be no input whatsoever on the campaign from Mr. Kurson or anyone on the editorial side of the Observer.
