Elizabeth Warren Prepares to Make Kushner’s Life Hell

Yes, I realize this is a Yahoo news article, but if the information about Kushner is true (and I believe for the most part it is), I'm glad Pocahontas is at least bringing the information to light, though perhaps he hasn't done anything illegally, just unethically.  He should have never been allowed to occupy the White House in the first place, nor Ivanka.
 
Elizabeth Warren Prepares to Make Kushner’s Life Hell

..........Jared Kushner’s family just happened to receive a pair of nine-figure loans shortly after the First Son-in-Law met with the lenders’ executives at the White House. It wasn’t a great look, particularly as it came on the heels of news that Ivanka‘s husband had supported a blockade of Qatar just weeks after his father unsuccessfully attempted to get the country’s finance minister to invest in Kushner Cos’ doomed Midtown tower, and that at least four countries had discussed ways to take advantage of Kushner’s massive financial debts and political inexperience. In fact, one might get the sense that young Jared, who has held few jobs that were not given to him by his father or his father-in-law, has no business working in the White House, where he’s accomplished approximately none of the goals he set out to tick off last year. And while we would never suggest the only thing Kushner appears qualified to do in the West Wing is use his position to improve his family’s financial situation, Senator Elizabeth Warren isn’t so sure!............

.............As The New York Times reported, the $184 million Apollo loan came after co-founder Joshua Harris met with Kushner on “multiple occasions,” while the $325 million Citigroup loan wound up in Kushner Cos’ pocket after C.E.O. Michael Corbat had a sit-down with the boy prince of New Jersey. In both instances, the money reportedly went toward projects in which Jared retains a financial stake. Incidentally, both companies benefitted from Trump’s tax overhaul, with private-equity firms like Apollo breathing a sigh of relief that Trump decided not to close the carried-interest loophole that he swore up and down on the campaign trail was a goner. According to the Times, the loan from Apollo was “triple the size of the average property loan made by Apollo’s real-estate lending arm.”...........

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

It is actually a Vanity Fair article, if that makes you feel any better.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
