Soros And Kushner Party Together In The Hamptons — Frenemies Or No

Washington, D.C.: it can be a nasty place during the week. So when Congress is out of session, the movers and shakers get together and have a good time, most recently, in the Hamptons.

That was the case over the 4th of July weekend, when Lally Weymouth, former editor of the Washington Post (the paper her parents, Phillip and Katherine Graham, once owned), hosted her annual star-studded annual party in the Hamptons.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were in attendance, rubbing elbows with public foes like Senator Chuck Schumer and George Soros. Steven Spielberg, currently putting the finishing touches on a film about the Post’s decision to publish the Pentagon Papers, was also in attendance.

White House advisor Kellyanne Conway was in attendance, along with billionaires Carl Ichan and David Koch. Bill Bratton, former NYPD Police Chief, was also in attendance.

The party was first reported by The Hill.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.

The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
