Congress must immediately investigate Jared Kushner for soliciting foreign investments while serving as Trump's special envoy for peace. This is corruption in plain sight.
Kushner is raising $5 billion for his private equity firm, Affinity Partners, while conducting Middle East diplomacy. His firm already received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, controlled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. That same crown prince lobbied Trump to attack Iran, Saudi Arabia's top rival. Kushner then met with Iran's foreign minister in Geneva, and when those talks failed to produce a deal, the U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign began. Iran's foreign minister said a fair deal was within reach before the bombing started.
This violates Kushner's own pledge not to participate in foreign policy during Trump's second term. He also promised his firm wouldn't raise capital for four years to avoid conflicts of interest. Both promises are broken. His financial disclosure as special envoy is due within days.
Kushner profited from his first White House stint and is doing it again. Launch an investigation into whether he's trading diplomatic influence for investments from foreign governments with direct stakes in the conflicts he's supposed to resolve.
