If he focuses on nothing else.” However, Noah went on to say that Kushner has also been tasked with reforming both the criminal justice system and veteran care, running the new Office of American Innovation, tackling the opioid epidemic and, last but not least, revamping the entire federal government, according to _Good Morning America_.
