President Donald Trump put Jared Kushner in charge of a series of foreign policy areas - much to the frustration of other officials - but didn't realize his son-in-law was using the power to determine what information came his way, a new book reveals.

John Bolton, the president's former National Security Adviser, reveals the details in his forthcoming book 'The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,' a copy of which was obtained by DailyMail.com amid a clash over its publication. 

President Trump placed his son-in-law - Kushner is married to Ivanka Trump - in a position of power from the start of his administration, giving him a West Wing office just down the hall from the Oval Office. He praises him constantly, calling Kushner 'my star' at a White House event in early June.

And while Kushner has worked on domestic policy issues in his capacity as senior adviser to the president - including coordinating the government and private business response to the coronavirus and passing criminal justice reform - Bolton's book details how Kushner was put in charge of several foreign policy areas too.

'The president did put Jared in charge of numerous areas and the results speak for themselves,' a senior administration official in the White House who is close to Kushner told DailyMail.com. 

President Donald Trump put Jared Kushner in charge of a series of foreign policy areas much to the frustration of other officials, a new book claims

In his new memoir, former National Security Adviser John Bolton details how President Trump would turn to Jared Kushner when he was frustrated at how things were going and put his son-in-law in charge of fixing it

But Kushner's power frustrated Bolton and, according to him, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and then-Chief of Staff John Kelly.

Kushner, a graduate of Harvard who was a real-estate developer and newspaper publisher before joining the administration, had no previous foreign policy experience. 

Bolton's book portrays a White House filled with chaos - a president with no real understanding of world affairs, a son-in-law wielding powers in areas out of his depth, and in-fighting and backstabbing among different power centers. 

He claims that at multiple times and at various points he, Kelly and Pompeo all considered resigning out of frustration about how the administration was run and with President Trump's behavior. 

The book, clocking in at over 500 pages, also shows how close Trump is to his daughter and son-in-law. Trump consistently went to Kushner to fix things when he felt they weren't going right, showing a heavy dependence on the 39 year old. 

Bolton also claims Kushner used his influence to wield what got through to the president, including calls from world leaders.

He revealed Trump was on the phone with French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of the G7 conference in Biarritz (which took place in August 2019) amid rumors France was going to invite Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to the event. Trump was also going to discuss with Macron complaints from the Secret Service and other top U.S. officials about the lack of French cooperation on logistics for the event.

When Trump got Macron on the phone and started chewing him out over the French president's treatment of him, Macron responded it was 11 pm in France and he had asked for a call with Trump two days earlier. 

'I wasn't told that,' Trump said and turned to Bolton. 'Goddamn it, Bolton, you should have told me. I hear that from everybody. Give me those f****** calls.' 

Bolton claims Trump was sensitive about the issue because he though former NSA Michael Flynn had with held a call from Russian president Vladimir Putin from him. But Bolton claims the person with holding the calls was Kushner. 

He claims while in Biarritz for the summit, he discovered Kushner on the phone with US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, telling him he wasn't going to allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's call to Trump to go through. 

'When he hung up, Kushner explained he had stopped this and an earlier effort by Netanyahu,' Bolton writes. 'Now we knew who was stopping all those calls to Trump!'

But a White House senior administration official denies this.

'Completely false,' the person said, adding that calls were routed 'through the national security team and chief of staff's office. It's a little sad as national security adviser [Bolton] was unaware of it.'

One of the issues at Biarritz was whether Trump should meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, an issue Kushner and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin were weighing in on.

Pompeo, who Bolton claims was frustrated with Kushner's role in matters of state, said to Bolton: 'So we have Mnuchin and Jared, two Democrats, running our foreign policy.'

That 'struck me as about right,' Bolton writes. He also claims Pompeo was 'livid' over Kushner's involvement in the matter. 

But Kushner and Pompeo have a strong relationship, according to a senior administration official who is close to Kushner.

'Jared and the secretary are in constant dialogue have a really great relationship based on mutual trust and respect. Ambassador Bolton has on clue to their relationship,' the person said.

The memoir is full of examples of Kushner's power and influence. 

Bolton reveals that when chemical warfare attack was launched on the Syrian city of Douma on April 7, 2018, Kushner informed him that then-UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson called him to offer support for a U.S.-led response.

'The prompt assurances of support were encouraging,' Bolton writes. 'Why a foreign minister was calling Kushner, however, as something to address in coming days.'

Additionally, Bolton notes before he joined the administration, he talked with Netanyahu, who questioned Kushner's role in developing a Middle East peace plan.

Netanyahu 'was dubious about assigning the task of bringing an end to the Israel-Palestinian conflict to Kushner, whose family Netanyahu had known for many years. He was enough of a politician not to oppose the idea publicly, but like much of the world, he wondered why Kushner thought he would succeed where the likes of Kissinger had failed,' Bolton writes.

And Kushner was also tasked by President Trump to help out with trade negotiations with China. Bolton recalls that, during the G20 summit in Argentina, Chinese officials 'perked up and smiled' when Trump said Kushner would be involved in talks. 

Bolton reveals his frustrations with the president's daughter and son-in-law time and again in his book, which is the first tell-all to come from a high-ranking White House official.

 The White House has tried to block publication of the book. The Justice Department asked a judge for an injunction to halt publication of Bolton's memoir, which has already been printed and distributed to booksellers, claiming it contains classified information. The department requested a hearing for Friday. The book is due to be released on Tuesday.

Trump lashed out at Bolton Thursday morning, claiming his former aide is a 'sick puppy' who is trying to 'get even' after his contentious exit from the White House.

'Bolton's book, which is getting terrible reviews, is a compilation of lies and made up stories, all intended to make me look bad,' the president tweeted.

'Many of the ridiculous statements he attributes to me were never made, pure fiction. Just trying to get even for firing him like the sick puppy he is!'

The president also told The Wall Street Journal that Bolton is a 'liar.' 

But Bolton, in the book, argues it wasn't just him who was frustrated by working in the Trump administration. He recounts multiple conversations with Kelly and Pompeo about their frustrations with the president and his methods.

He claims Pompeo said to him they had to stay on because they were the 'real warriors.' The words came when Kelly was frustrated and considering leaving the administration. Pompeo told him that then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis 'is always overseas' and the 'only thing' Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin thinks about is 'covering his a**.'

'This will just leave you and me,' Pompeo said, worried Kelly would leave. 'If he [Trump] wants to know who the real warriors are, just look around [meaning us]. And Kelly is a part of that.' 

Pompeo added: 'This whole thing could end up being the Donald, Ivanka and Jared show!' 

Kelly left the White House in January 2019 and has become a vocal critic of the president since then.

Bolton also recalls how he learned Kushner was going to be calling the finance minister of Turkey because they were both son-in-laws to their country's respective leaders. 

'I briefed Pompeo and Mnuchin on this new 'son-in-law channel' and they both exploded,' he wrote.

Mnuchin was angry because Kushner was reaching out to his Turkish counter part and Pompeo was 'because this was one more example of Kushner's doing international negotiations he shouldn't have been doing (along with the never quite ready Middle East peace plan.)'

He also recalled Kelly had his battles with Kushner. 

When President Trump was furious how the numbers of illegal immigrants crossing into the United States hadn't gone down, he tasked Kushner with stopping the he caravans of immigrants making their way to the U.S.-Mexico border.

When Kelly learned Kushner called Mexican officials on the issue, he was furious.

'Why is Jared calling Mexicans?' Kelly asked Trump. 'Because I asked him to. How else are we going to stop the caravans?' the president responded. 

Kelly pointed out then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was working on the issue.

'None of you other geniuses have been able to stop the caravans,' Trump complained. At which point Kelly walked out of the Oval Office.

Kelly later told Bolton he was going to quit but Bolton said he urged Kelly to wait until after the 2018 midterm election. 

Kelly responded 'I'm going out to Arlington' to visit his son's grave. Robert Michael Kelly was killed while on patrol in Afghanistan in November 2010. Kelly went to visit his grave 'at series times. We knew this because it happened so often,' Bolton wrote. 

Bolton also revealed how Trump protected his daughter when she came under fire for using her personal email for official business, which is a violation of the Presidential Records Act.

He claims in his book that Trump defended Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamaal Khashoggi to distract from the Ivanka Trump email story.

'This will divert from Ivanka,' Trump said of his statement. 'If I read the statement in person, that will take over the Ivanka thing.'

He also revealed the president wasn't happy with what his daughter did. 'Goddamn it why didn't she change her phone? What a mess we have because of that phone,' he recalls Trump saying.
