Jared Kushner reveals in a memoir that he had thyroid cancer during his time as a top White House adviser to father-in-law former President Donald Trump.

His secret health battles, which included having surgery to remove a tumor from his throat, were reported Monday by the New York Post, citing a chapter in Kushner’s forthcoming Breaking History: A White House Memoir, which hits shelves Aug. 23.

“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,'” Kushner wrote of October 2019 during trade negotiations with China.

Kushner, now 41, said he had “a substantial part of [his] thyroid” removed by a doctor.

Kushner also wrote in the book that he told very few people in the White House about his diagnosis, not even Trump.
