Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff were supposed to fly to Islamabad, Pakistan, this week to negotiate an end to the Iran war. Yet once again, the Trump administration couldn't follow through on its promises. But let's back up. Why is Ivanka Trump's husband involved in these talks in the first place? To find out, we spoke with Judd Legum. He's the author of Popular Information, an independent newsletter dedicated to accountability journalism. And in headlines, the man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump is charged, Republicans continue to push for Trump’s $400 million ballroom, and King Charles flies to D.C. for a tea and beehive tour.

  • It's Tuesday, April 28th.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day.

  • The show saluting an Alabama woman found not guilty of all misdemeanor charges after she was arrested at an October

  • No Kings protest while wearing an inflatable penis costume and holding a sign reading, No Dick Tater.

  • She had been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest,

  • as well as giving a false name to law enforcement because she told police her name was, quote, Aunt Tifa.

  • Give it a second.

  • You'll get it.

  • On today's show, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump is charged.

  • And King Charles visits Washington, D.C.

  • The closest Trump will ever get to royalty.

  • Except for the Saudis.

  • But let's start with Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and maybe special envoy for peace.

  • Kushner was supposed to be heading to Islamabad with special envoy Steve Wyckoff this week

  • to negotiate an end to the Iran war.

  • But as we mentioned on the show yesterday, those plans were canceled.

  • So instead, Iran's foreign minister was in Moscow Monday to discuss the war with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

  • And the U.S. Was reviewing a proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

  • But hang on a second.

  • Why is Ivanka Trump's husband part of these talks?
