Less than two weeks before Election Day, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is calling on the U.S. attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who is likely to take over as chair of the Oversight Committee if Democrats win the House in November, accused Kushner of possibly violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) through his finance work after leaving the White House.

Kushner, who is married to Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, served as senior White House adviser in former President Trump's first administration.

His hedge fund, Affinity Partners, has been a consistent target for Democrats since its inception in 2021 — attacks that have continued even as the former president runs for a second term.

Kushner and his allies have vehemently denied accusations of impropriety. Additionally, while Democrats have been investigating Kushner since 2021, his circle is arguing that those and the more recent calls for a special counsel are fueled by political motivations, given the close election less than two weeks away.

"Recent public reports and a Senate investigation have uncovered significant evidence that Mr. Kushner acted as an unregistered foreign agent of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," read a letter by Raskin and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

"By his own admission, Mr. Kushner is actively advising former President Trump’s campaign while being paid at least $80 million by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other foreign governments since June 2021."

They also accused Kushner of undermining the U.S. by "secretly advising the Saudi government."

These accusations have surfaced before and certainly I have found them to be concerning.  Kushner I feel was in part responsible for leaking information during Trump's presidency.  He cannot be trusted.  He has ties to Soros -- nothing more needs to be said.  Just my opinion.
