CNN political commentator Van Jones, who praised President Trump for his executive order recently about police reform, actually attended a secret White House meeting to draft the new move, according to a report.

Jones, 51, who organized “The Van Jones Show” on CNN, enthusiastically supported Trump on the network on his orders to create a system to track police violations, banned most chokeholds and incentivized officer training after George Floyd’s assassination in Minneapolis.

He praised the president even when the executive order was slammed as cynical and unproductive by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and described as “delusional” by Color of Change, a racial justice group founded with Jones himself 15 years ago, The Daily Beast reports.

Unbeknownst to viewers, Jones joins his new best friend, Jared Kushner, son-in-law and Trump’s adviser, at the White House to discuss how to structure a police reform framework, according to the outlet.

Helping Jones, law enforcement officials and White House staff make a measure is Jessica Jackson, a California human rights lawyer who runs # cut50, a prison reform group also founded by Jones, according to the report.

“The executive order is a good thing, especially because you see support from law enforcement there … There is a move towards the database for bad police,” Jones told CNN’s “Inside Politics.”

“We have never had a federal database for bad police, which is why all of these police go everywhere doing bad things … Chokehold, which is the common ground now between Nancy Pelosi and Trump. Good stuff there,” he added, according to the outlet.

He later told host Anderson Cooper that the executive order “pushed in the right direction.”

“What you get today, I think, is a sign that we won,” he added without revealing his role behind the scenes. “Donald Trump has put himself in the record saying that we need to reform the police department … We won! Donald Trump has no plans a month ago to resolve this issue at all. The fact that we are now on a course to move forward, I think , is good. “

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the Rose Garden ceremony in which Trump signed a “photo op size” and executive orders “very short of what was needed.”

Reverend Al Sharpton, a longtime ally of Jones, declared the order “toothless and meaningless.”

“I don’t think the executive order is worth the paper he wrote,” Sharpton told The Daily Beast.

“Van’s experiment with Trump is a case of him having more trust than I have, but I will not attack him for doing it … I think he intends well, but I think he really underestimates the type of man he faces,” activist said it to the outlet.

“I just don’t agree that the people who deal with him have sincere bones in their bodies. But I can’t blame him for trying,” Sharpton added.

Actor Jeffrey Wright said in a tweet: “Smells like Van Jones helped Kushner make this executive order, so he complimented it. “You can’t brush up on this filth,” he said of Trump’s mischief, but here he was with a black & rag boot. “

Stephen A. Crockett Jr., a columnist for The Root and Jones detractor, writes that “Jones’s work seems to make Republican policy suitable for blacks. So hope he calls this new proposal progress.”

In a note of sarcasm in quoting Malcom X, Crockett added: “Hey, the knife changed from 9 inches on your back to only 6 inches on your back,” (Van Jones voice). “

Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and Rashad Robinson, executive director of Color of Change, did not respond to requests for comment by The Daily Beast.

Jones refused to talk to the outlet, who was told by a member of his public relations staff that “because of his contractual obligations with CNN / Turner, he is limited to what the press can do outside their network.”

The network will also not comment on why it does not reveal that Jones is working behind the scenes to form Trump’s executive order.
