Jared Kushner has Massive Conflicts of Interest!
To: Pres. Trump
From: A constituent in El Dorado Hills, CA
March 19
Your own statements about Jared Kushner’s role in pushing you toward war with Iran raise serious and urgent concerns. You said he helped convince you to launch this conflict. At the same time, the Saudi government invested $2 billion in his private fund, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly pushed for military action. This is a direct conflict of interest that you cannot ignore.
American taxpayers now shoulder the cost of this war. The first twelve days alone cost roughly $16.5 billion. Thousands of people have already died, including American service members. The country deserves a clear explanation for why we are at war and who influenced that decision.
You must explain why your son‑in‑law is currently seeking billions more from Middle Eastern governments while serving as a U.S. negotiator. No one can trust the integrity of our foreign policy when a senior adviser takes massive private payments from the same governments that stand to benefit from American military action.
The American people need transparency. They need to know whether private financial interests shaped decisions that should only serve the nation. You owe the country a full and honest explanation.
