⛔️BREAKING: US Senators are Investigating Trump’s Son-in-Law Jared Kushner for getting Billions From Middle East While Shaping U.S. Foreign Policy…
Two top-ranking Democrats are seeking more information regarding Jared Kushner’s business dealings in the Middle East following reports that he has been attempting to shore up billions of dollars for his private equity firm while also helping lead negotiations with governments in the region.
Rep. Robert Garcia (R-Calif.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wrote in a letter to the White House on Thursday that they had “serious concerns” about whether Kushner, President Trump’s son in law, was being allowed to leverage his political influence for personal financial gain.
Just as seriously, these actions raise the potential for Mr. Kushner to be subject to conflicts of interest which could threaten the security of the American people,” the lawmakers wrote. “As such, we demand answers from the White House regarding the lack of separation between Mr. Kushner’s public role and private interests.”
Their inquiry comes days after The New York Times reported that Kushner had recently spoken with potential foreign investors about raising $5 billion for his investment firm, Affinity Partners, citing five people with knowledge of the discussions.
The scrutiny is not new for the firm or Kushner, who previously faced accusations of an improper quid pro quo after the Saudi government, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, invested $2 billion in the company shortly after Trump left office in 2021.
