Had they been invited? It seems that the first daughter and her husband, both senior White House advisors, must have been. But their presence at the service was widely criticized by people on Twitter, making their names top trending topics as the event was underway Saturday morning. Criticism may have crossed party lines, with people, commenting on the coverage by the usually Trump-friendly Fox News, expressing distaste and even outrage at their attendance.

Rand Paul was talking prison reform when Jared Kushner jumped on the call
Phillip M. Bailey Louisville Courier Journal Published 6:42 p.m. UTC Aug 30, 2018 White House senior adviser Jared Kushner is endorsing new Kentucky polling numbers that show an overwhelming majority of Bluegrass voters want to overhaul the criminal justice system. The findings were touted by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul and a bipartisan group behind the reforms during a conference call Thursday as a way to get Republican leaders and President Trump to move on a proposal before the midterm elections. "I think that the results of the poll really show this is not a red state issue or a blue state issue, this is a real issue that Americans want to see advance and they want to see the politicians in Washington make progress on," said Kushner, who was a last-minute addition to the call.

Donald Trump Rejects Jared Kushner’s Prison, Sentencing Reform Proposal Before Midterms
U.S. Donald Trump President Donald Trump will not endorse a bipartisan proposal for prison and sentencing reform following a White House meeting on Thursday with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to administrative sources with knowledge of the matter who told Axios and other media outlets. Kushner has pushed for prison reform for some time, while Sessions continues to take a hardline approach of seeking maximum sentences in cases the Justice Department prosecutes.
