(TJV NEWS) Former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner’s memoir, “Breaking History: A White House Memoir,” is set to be released on Aug. 23.

In the memoir, Kushner details how he had to undergo surgery to remove a tumor in his throat that was thyroid cancer.

Kushner, now 41, kept the illness out of the headlines and even attempted to keep it a secret from members of his personal and work families.

Kushner, who helped lead many of the Trump administration’s most successful initiatives, wrote that he learned that he likely had cancer in October 2019 during trade talks with China that ultimately resulted in a “phase one” agreement to back away from tariffs.

Kushner and his wife Ivanka worked as unpaid advisers during former President Trump’s four years in office.

During the final months of Trump’s term, Kushner led efforts to broker diplomatic relations between Israel and our Arab countries, providing valuable assistance to the administration, en-volve news summarized

“As this high-wire act of trade talks with the Chinese progressed, I had to confront an unexpected and frightening personal problem,” Kushner wrote.

“On the morning that I traveled to Texas to attend the opening of a Louis Vuitton factory, White House physician Sean Conley pulled me into the medical cabin on Air Force One. ‘Your test results came back from Walter Reed,’ he said. ‘It looks like you have cancer. We need to schedule a surgery right away.’”
