House Judiciary Investigating Jared Kushner’s Investments From Saudi Arabia

[libertybele]

This obviously is a liberal news site (and one that I've not heard of), but, if there's a snake in the grass, a leaker of information and one that Trump should not trust it's Kushner.  Secondly, the question still remains; why is Trump allowing Kusher to negotiate?  I am beginning to really question Trump's judgement in having Kusher over in the Middle East.  Rubio should be negotiating, not Kushner!   Kushner's involvement is really disturbing and him being Trump's son-in-law doesn't reflect well  on the President.


House Judiciary Investigating Jared Kushner’s Investments From Saudi Arabia

Kushner serves as “Special Envoy for Peace” while soliciting investments from Gulf monarchies for his private business.

The ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee on Friday morning announced a “sweeping” probe into alleged self-enrichment by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump who has served as a high-profile White House envoy in the Middle East while also, according to Congressman Jamie Raskin, “soliciting billions of dollars from Gulf monarchies for [his] private business ventures.”

In a letter addressed to Kushner, the Maryland Democrat charges that by pushing for investments in his international investment firm, A Fin Management LLC (Affinity), while also serving as “Special Envoy for Peace” for the Trump administration, he has created “a glaring and incurable conflict of interest” in the eyes of the American people.

While Raskin points out that Kushner repeatedly vowed to stay out of government during Trump’s second term and, going further, said he would not raise funds for Affinity during that time, both promises were “quickly” broken.

In April of 2022, The New York Times reported how Kushner had secured a $2 billion investment from a sovereign wealth fund directed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MbS. In 2018, during Trump’s first term, investigations were demanded over accusations that previous financial ties meant that MbS had Kushner “in his pocket.”

According to Raskin on Friday:

    Mr. Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners, has amassed approximately $6.16 billion in assets under management — including $1.2 billion in the past year alone — with an extraordinary 99 percent of its funding derived from foreign nationals. These include sovereign wealth funds operated by the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. At the same time, Mr. Kushner has assumed a central role in sensitive geopolitical negotiations across the Middle East and beyond...............

........Despite explicit public assurances that he would avoid both government service and fundraising during President Trump’s second term, Mr. Kushner has done precisely the opposite. He has inserted himself into the world’s most volatile global conflicts as one of the United States’ chief negotiators all while deepening his financial reliance on, and entanglement with, foreign governments.........................

I'm surprised this took so long ..... guess we're getting close to early voting for the midterms.

I've been very vocal about my feeling regarding Jared.  Back when I first realized he got his start up money from Soros, I posted links.  I went back a couple of weeks later and those websites were taken down -- linking Jared and Joshua to Soros and his philanthropies and foundations.   

Trump making Kushner his advisor during is first term and both Ivanka and him residing in the WH should have never been. His dealings with the Saudis have been reported by liberal and conservative websites.  He had enough money and the obvious connections to keep from being held accountable.

....years later.....Trump's 2nd administration - Kusher is negotiating over in the M.E.?  What's wrong with that picture?

Nope not a fan.  I've always said he's going to be the downfall of Trump. 

We have a Secy of State.  Trump should not need to rely on Kushner.

Same here.  And Witkoff too.  They're both badly conflicted, and hold no official status within the U.S. government except as Trump family and friends.

Although Trump does not trust the State Department (rightfully so), like it or not, it is (Constitutionally) the proper official government vehicle for handling such war and peace negotiations.  Unfortunately, it was FDR and JFK who started this extra-legal practice of using back-channel talks through mutual friends to conduct foreign policy business, and it presents all kinds of problems with treatymaking and record keeping for the U.S.

And furthermore, neither Kushner or Witkoff have been that effective.  Hamas still exists and the Russia-Ukraine War still rages despite their best efforts to give Putin the win.

Rubio should be the one dealing exclusively with the Iranians right now.

Agreed.  Rubio is the Secy of State and has so far done an excellent job.  Instead Trump has his son in law who holds no position over there negotiating.  I have little doubt due to Jared's past, that's he's going to be making a good deal of money over there.  Question remains -- why does Trump have him over there and why has he all but eliminated Rubio from the talks??

Something isn't right.  This decision is on Trump and no one else.

Bear in mind the poster to whom you are replying roots for Iran to win, because she wants Israel to lose.  No difference in goals from Senator Chris Murphy.
