FARA Violations. Kushner. DOJ Action. Party support in place already.
To: Rep. Beyer, Sen. Warner, Sen. Kaine
From: A constituent in Arlington, VA
October 25, 2024
I am writing to express my strong support of the recent letter sent by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden and House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin urging the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate potential FARA violations by Jared Kushner. I join their call for immediate action based on the concerning evidence they've presented:
1. Mr. Kushner has received at least $80 million from Saudi Arabia and other foreign governments since June 2021 while simultaneously advising former President Trump's campaign
2. The Saudi Public Investment Fund invested $2 billion in Kushner's firm despite their own investment committee's documented objections about his lack of relevant experience
3. While receiving these foreign payments, Kushner has:
- Advised the Saudi Crown Prince on U.S. foreign policy
- Maintained an active role in Trump's presidential campaign
- Arranged meetings with foreign officials on U.S. soil
- Influenced members of Congress on domestic and foreign policy
4. These activities appear to clearly require FARA registration and disclosure of foreign payments
I strongly urge you to join Chairman Wyden and Ranking Member Raskin's effort and support the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate these serious national security concerns. The American people deserve transparency about foreign influence in our political system.
