What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jared Kushner ? A month ago  Jared Kushner - President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser - made a surprise trip to Riyadh to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman  the fellow son of a world leader who is making waves with crackdowns and modernization efforts.
Kushner  36  flew commercial and the White House only announced the visit once he was already on the ground. There were no news releases touting the specifics of his meetings  which included two days of one-on-one and small private audiences with Salman  32. White House officials said the trip was part of  Kushner 's effort as Trump's adviser to build regional support for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Just days after  Kushner  landed back in Washington  Salman launched a purge of allegedly corrupt Saudi officials also seen as rivals to the prince and his father  King Salman.  Kushner  had no knowledge or advance warning of the move  and the topic was not natural for the two to discuss  a White House official close to  him  said. "Jared's portfolio is Israeli-Palestinian peace  and he respects what his lane is " the official said.
The journey revealed  Kushner  as a figure who seems both near the center of power and increasingly marginalized at the same time.  His  once sprawling White House portfolio  which included walk-in privileges to the Oval Office  has been diminished to its original scope under Chief of Staff John Kelly  and he has notably receded from public view.
His still-evolving role in the investigations of Russian election interference and possible obstruction of justice also make him a potential risk to Trump  even as he enjoys the special status of being married to the boss's daughter  Ivanka  and serving as one of the president's senior confidants.  Kushner 's family faces additional pressures over a troubled New York City skyscraper at 666 Fifth Ave.  which he purchased in his role as head of his family's real estate business but which he has divested from since entering the administration.
In a rare interview in his West Wing office earlier this month - a silver bowl of Halloween candy still on the table -  Kushner  offered his own version of the fable of the fox  who knows many things  and the hedgehog  who knows one important thing.
This portrait of  Kushner  comes from interviews with Kushner himself  as well as 12 senior administration officials  aides  outside advisers and confidants  some of them demanding anonymity to offer a more candid assessment.
Allies say  Kushner 's subtle shift into the background of the West Wing reflects  his  natural inclination to work hard and eschew the limelight  while  his  enemies gloat that it stems from a series of avoidable missteps that are the result of  his  political naivete. Following recent reports  which the White House denied  that the president privately blames  Kushner  for Mueller's widening probe  Breitbart  the conservative website  snarkily dubbed him  "Mr. Perfect."
Some aides scoff at the notion that  Kushner  isn't still whispering to the president about official business. But one of Kelly's conditions for taking the job was that everyone  including  Kushner  and  his  wife  had to go through  him  to reach the president  and Kelly has made clear that  Kushner  reports to  him   aides said.
The new hierarchy is part of Kelly's effort to sideline  Kushner   said one Republican in frequent contact with the White House  though others say the order Kelly has imposed has simply liberated  Kushner  to focus on  his  own portfolio - and eased some of the animosity  his  colleagues felt toward  him .
 Kushner  said  he  welcomes the change. "The order allows this place to function "  Kushner  said. "My number one priority is a high functioning White House  because I believe in the president's agenda  and I think it should get executed."
 He  still maintains the broad portfolio  he  took on at the beginning of the administration that made  him  a punchline among aides on Capitol Hill: Peace in the Middle East  as well as Canada  Mexico and China  and overseeing the Office of American Innovation  an in-house group that focuses on tackling longer-term government challenges.
 He  attends meetings of  his  innovation group once a week  often on a Tuesday or Wednesday for an hour-long check-in and progress update. The innovation office launched with great fanfare in March  but some aides recently said they could not pinpoint exactly what it has accomplished.
 Kushner  and  his  allies reject that assessment  saying the office is focused on long-term projects. They say  for example  that the group helped the Department of Veterans Affairs launch their electronic medical records initiative in June  with  Kushner  expediting the process by calling Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and asking him to send over people from his department to help.
 Kushner  is one of the advisers helping on negotiations over the North American Free Trade Agreement  and  he  accompanied Trump on the first half of  his  Asia trip earlier this month.
But the main focus for  Kushner   an Orthodox Jew  is working to bring peace in the Middle East - a task that has bedeviled negotiators far more experienced in the region for generations. What  Kushner  brings to the effort  say several senior White House officials  is personal relationships with players on all sides and a willingness to bet on long shot outcomes.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Greg Postel ? "I cannot say this strongly enough: We believe the NCAA is simply wrong " Louisville interim President Dr. Greg Postel said in a statement. "We disagree with the NCAA ruling for reasons we clearly stated in our appeal. And we made a strong case - based on NCAA precedent - that supported our argument."
"From Day One  the university has admitted that the actions of the former operations director and any others involved under previous leadership were offensive and inexcusable "  Postel  said in the statement. "That is why  we  apologized immediately  cooperated fully with the NCAA  self-imposed penalties that were appropriate to the offenses and made significant changes to ensure incidents like this never happen again.
—  Postel  estimated the return of up to $600 000 in NCAA Tournament revenue.
"This dark cloud has hung over  our  heads for more than two years  and it has had a negative impact on  our  athletics program   our  fans and the entire university family "  Postel  said. "While  we  disagree with the NCAA's decision  it is time for the university to close this chapter and move forward with a stronger commitment to excellence on and off the court."
 Postel   then-athletic director Tom Jurich and Pitino said last summer they planned to fight the sanctions. Pitino  who repeatedly denied knowing about the activities described in Powell's book  was particularly frustrated with his penalties.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George Papadopoulos ? George Papadopoulos  pleaded guilty in early October to lying to federal officials about  his  contacts with Russian nationals.  He  is one of three former Trump campaign officials facing criminal charges. (Elyse Samuels/The Washington Post)
 George Papadopoulos  pleaded guilty in early October to lying to federal officials about  his  contacts with Russian nationals.  He  is one of three former Trump campaign officials facing criminal charges. (Elyse Samuels/The Washington Post)
President Trump on Tuesday belittled former foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos  who pleaded guilty this week to lying to federal agents investigating Russiaâs interference in the 2016 election  tweeting that âfew people knew the young  low level volunteer named George  who has already proven to be a liar.â
But interviews and documents show that  Papadopoulos  was in regular contact with the Trump campaignâs most senior officials and held  himself  out as a Trump surrogate as  he  traveled the world to meet with foreign officials and reporters.
 Papadopoulos  sat at the elbow of one of Trumpâs top campaign advisers  then-Sen. Jeff Sessions  during a dinner for campaign advisers weeks before the Republican National Convention  according to an individual who attended the meeting.
 He  met in London in September 2016 with a mid-level representative of the British Foreign Office  where  he  said  he  had contacts at the senior level of the Russian government.
And  he  conferred at one point with the foreign minister of Greece at a meeting in New York.
While some top campaign aides appeared to rebuff  Papadopoulos âs persistent offers to broker a meeting with Russian President VladiÂ­mir Putin  there is no sign they told  him  directly to cease  his  activities or sought to end  his  affiliation with the campaign.
Emails included in court documents released Monday show that  Papadopoulos  repeatedly told Trump campaign officials about  his  contacts with people  he  believed were representing the Russian government.
The court documents do not answer a key question: whether  Papadopoulos  also told  his  superiors that  he  had met a London-based professor who claimed to know that the Russians had âdirtâ on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton  including thousands of her emails.
An FBI agent told the court in July that  Papadopoulos  lied in an interview with federal agents  saying he did not tell anyone on the campaign about the âdirtâ because he thought the professor was a ânothing.â
 [Whoâs who in the George Papadopoulos court documents]
 At 29   Papadopoulos  had scant experience that qualified  him  to advise a presidential candidate.  He  had entered the Trump campaign after a six-week stint working for the campaign of  Trumpâs  rival for the Republican nomination  neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
 Carsonâs  campaign manager  Barry Bennett  recalled that  Papadopoulos  was hired after sending him an unsolicited message via LinkedIn seeking a job.
Bennett said his only vetting was to ask a friend at the Washington-based Hudson Institute  where Papadopoulosâs rÃ©sumÃ© indicated he had worked as a researcher  whether  Papadopoulos  was âan okay guy.â
For six weeks of work  Bennett said   Papadopoulos  was paid $8 500  before he was let go from the campaign at the end of January 2016 as it shed staff.
