Investigate Kushner's Foreign Dealings and Remove Bessent for Conflict of Interest I am writing to urge immediate congressional action on two urgent matters involving conflicts of interest that threaten national security: the investigation and removal of Jared Kushner from any government influence, and the impeachment of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Kushner's Affinity Partners has collected $157 million in management fees through July 2024, with $87 million from Saudi Arabia alone, while generating zero returns for investors. The Senate Finance Committee concluded that Affinity's investors may not be motivated by commercial considerations, but rather the opportunity to funnel foreign government money to members of President Trump's family. An FBI vetted source reported in an FD-1023 that Kushner moved a lot of Russian investment money around. Currently, Kushner holds a 5% equity stake worth approximately $2.75 billion in a $55 billion Saudi-led acquisition of Electronic Arts, which would give Saudi Arabia access to personal data and behavioral profiles of over 700 million users worldwide. Multiple sources indicate Kushner brokered the initial connection and his involvement would ease the deal's path through the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. Kushner must be investigated immediately, removed from any advisory capacity, and his investments and companies placed under independent oversight until investigations conclude. His co-founding of Brain Co. in February 2024, an AI decision-making infrastructure company with strategic ties to OpenAI, creates an alarming scenario where Saudi Arabia could own EA's massive user database while Kushner's company builds tools to analyze such data for governments. Secretary Bessent presents an equally serious conflict. As Chief Investment Officer of Soros Fund Management managing approximately $25 billion, Bessent was a client of Ergo Ltd, an intelligence consulting firm run by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. By January 2016, Jeffrey Epstein's Southern Trust Company acquired 50% ownership in Sum LP, with Ergo as general partner. Epstein's money flowed through Sum into Carbyne, a surveillance technology company chaired by Barak that can remotely activate smartphone cameras, GPS, and audio through 911 calls. Bessent now controls Epstein's Treasury financial records, including over 4,725 wire transfers totaling $1.08 billion, and has refused Senator Ron Wyden's requests three times on March 11, June 16, and September 2, 2025 to release these records. He chairs CFIUS, which is reviewing the EA acquisition, and oversees the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. A person connected to a network he is now investigating cannot credibly oversee that investigation. I urge you to initiate impeachment proceedings against Secretary Bessent and demand full investigation of Kushner with immediate removal from any government advisory role and sequestration of his business interests pending investigation completion.
