An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Why is Jared Kushner pretending to represent the U.S.?

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing with deep concern and growing frustration to demand a clear, honest explanation for why Jared Kushner—who holds no elected office, no Senate-confirmed diplomatic role, and no formal qualifications in foreign policy—is continuing to act as a de facto diplomat for the United States. This is not how a constitutional democracy functions. The American people did not elect Jared Kushner. The Senate did not confirm Jared Kushner. Yet he has been repeatedly inserted into sensitive diplomatic discussions, high-level negotiations, and foreign policy matters that directly impact national security. That is not only inappropriate—it is dangerous. Foreign policy is not a family business. Diplomatic authority is not inherited through proximity to the President. Our Constitution created checks and balances for a reason. Unaccountable, unelected individuals conducting diplomacy behind closed doors undermines our credibility abroad and erodes public trust at home. President Trump, the American people deserve to know why your son-in-law continues to play a role reserved for trained, vetted, publicly accountable officials. And Congress, your silence on this matter is unacceptable. It is your duty to demand answers, enforce oversight, and ensure that U.S. foreign policy is conducted by qualified professionals—not by relatives with private business entanglements and no diplomatic mandate. Explain why this is happening. Explain who authorized it. Explain why the United States is allowing unofficial, unelected actors to shape its foreign relations. The American people expect transparency, accountability, and adherence to the rule of law—not nepotism disguised as diplomacy. We deserve answers now.
