据一位知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实，众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯与特朗普总统的顾问兼女婿贾里德·库什纳近日举行了会面。
此次非公开会谈距离中期选举不到三个月。民主党计划在11月的选举中拿下众议院控制权，如果民主党赢得多数席位，杰弗里斯有望成为下一任众议院议长。与此同时，以特朗普为首的共和党将民主党描绘成危险极端主义政党。
《纽约时报》率先报道了此次在纽约市举行的会面，会谈涵盖广泛议题以及住房、移民和生活成本等潜在共同立场领域。白宫和库什纳的发言人未立即回复哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的置评请求。
杰弗里斯在一份声明中未证实此次会面，但表示民主党不会容忍共和党“‘非此即彼’的治理方式，这种方式让美国民众失望”。
“为了阻止这种疯狂行径，我们多次明确表示，极端主义做法行不通，必将遭到有力反对，”杰弗里斯说道。
库什纳在白宫并无正式职务，但他作为特朗普的关键顾问参与海外外交谈判。在特朗普第一任期内，他与杰弗里斯曾共同推动刑事司法改革法案。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊周日表示，他是从新闻报道中首次得知此次会面。

“我不知道这是怎么回事，”约翰逊在接受福克斯新闻记者皮特·杜西采访时说道。“我知道贾里德有自己的兴趣和很多其他事务。他并没有直接参与本届政府，至少在白宫的日常事务中没有。”
尽管特朗普在第一任期内经常与参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默以及前众议院民主党领袖南希·佩洛西会面，但在本届任期内，他迄今仅与舒默和杰弗里斯会见过一次。
特朗普转而利用社交媒体辱骂二人，包括称杰弗里斯为“低智商者”和“暴徒”。今年早些时候，杰弗里斯称特朗普是“有史以来最愚蠢的总统”。
不过，本月特朗普在接受《Punchbowl News》采访时表示，他可以与这位民主党领袖合作，并将杰弗里斯描述为“好人”。
“人们对我言辞苛刻，我也对他们毫不留情。这就是这个世界的常态，”特朗普说道。“我可能会和他相处得很好。”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and President Trump’s adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner met recently, a source familiar with the details confirmed to CBS News.
The private discussion comes less than three months before the midterms. Democrats are aiming to take control of the House in the November elections, with Jeffries in line to possibly become the next House Speaker if they win the majority. It also comes as Republicans — led by Mr. Trump — have cast Democrats as the party of dangerous extremes.
The New York Times first reported the meeting, which took place in New York City and covered a broad range of topics and potential areas of common ground such as housing, immigration and cost of living. The White House and a Kushner spokesperson did not immediately respond to CBS News’ requests for comment.
In a statement, Jeffries did not confirm the meeting but said Democrats will not tolerate Republicans’ “my-way-or-the-highway approach to governing that has failed the American people.”
“To stop the madness, we have repeatedly made clear that an extremist approach will not work and will be met with forceful opposition,” Jeffries said.
Kushner has no formal role in the White House, but he serves as a key adviser to Mr. Trump in overseas diplomatic negotiations. He and Jeffries worked together on criminal justice reform legislation during Mr. Trump’s first term.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday that he first learned of this meeting from news reports.

“I don’t know what that’s about,” Johnson said to Fox News’ Peter Doocy. “I know Jared has interests and lots of other things going on. He’s not really directly involved in the admin, at least in the day-to-day in the White House.”
While Mr. Trump met frequently with Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and the former House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi in his first term, he has only met with Schumer and Jeffries once so far this term.
Mr. Trump has instead used his social media to insult both of them, including referring to Jeffries as “low IQ” and a “thug.” Earlier this year, Jeffries called Mr. Trump “the dumbest president ever.”
However, in an interview this month with Punchbowl News, Mr. Trump said he could work with the Democratic leader and described him as a “nice guy.”
“People are harsh on me. I’m harsh on them. It’s part of the world,” Mr. Trump said. “I’d probably get along with him very well.”
