House oversight committee launches probe into Jared Kushner’s Saudi-backed investment fund

[OKTexas]

(Summary courtesy of ChatGPT-4o)
Senator Carolyn Maloney has initiated a probe into Jared Kushner's investment firm, Affinity Partners, which received a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) shortly after Kushner left his role as a senior adviser in the Trump White House. The investigation aims to determine if Kushner improperly used his government position to secure the investment and if his financial interests influenced U.S. foreign policy in favor of Saudi Arabia during his tenure.

Kushner's close relationship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and his role in shaping pro-Saudi policies are key areas of scrutiny. The probe will also assess whether existing federal ethics laws are sufficient to prevent senior officials from leveraging their government positions for personal financial gain. Maloney has requested extensive documentation and communication records from Kushner related to the Saudi investment and his government service to evaluate potential conflicts of interest and influence peddling.

I don't know if Kuschner violated federal law, but it's quite probable he at least violated the FARA, and the whole thing stinks to proverbial high heaven, given that he looks like he leveraged the contacts he acquired during his tenure as Senior WH Adviser, that the SA PIF opposed it, yet MBS authorized it anyway. Could it have been a quid pro quo for the Trump Administration's kid glove treatment of MBS's brutal butchering of WaPo journalist Kamal Khashoggi? Why else would MBS authorize the investment, that he wants to be in good with Trump in anticipation of his return to power? Looks a lot like 'influence peddling', the real kind, not the Hunter Biden mirage kind, to me.

Some on the right are going to Holler 'Hunter Biden', but Hunter Biden was NEVER a 'senior WH advisor' or anything close to it, the one glaring detail many on the right seem to be oblivious of.

And why hasn't Garland assigned a Special Counsel? If there ever was probable cause, methinks this is it. But, of course, the right will scream 'weaponization'. Look, if you don't want folks on your side not to be investigated, prosecuted, quit voting for politicians who are corrupt and criminal. Is that too hard to understand? Sure, we Democrats have a few bad apples, (Cuellar, Menendez, Blagojevich) but compared to the right, Dems are boy scouts.

The House oversight committee has opened an investigation into ex-Trump White House adviser Jared Kushner’s new Saudi-backed investment fund and whether the real estate heir turned presidential adviser leveraged his former government position for personal gain.

In a letter to Mr Kushner, the committee’s chair, Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York, wrote that her committee is investigating whether he “improperly traded on your government position to obtain billions of dollars from the Saudi government” and whether his “personal financial interests improperly influenced U.S. foreign policy” during his time serving as one of former president Donald Trump’s closest advisers.

To sum it up nicely,

MBS paid Jared $25,000,00 management for an equities fund,
paid against the desire of the other officers of the SA Public Investment Fund,

For Trump administration's soft ball treatment of MBS's murder/butchering of Jamal Khashoggi.

Nice work if you can murder to get it.

What's wrong with this picture. Hey moron, don't you bother to read what you post?

And BTW, Maloney left the House of Reps, Jan last year. Also your link is more than 2 years old. Poor pathetic commie.

I see you are carrying water for Jared Kushner and the Saudis.

Typical MAGAt weasel.

Your foreign comrade has been challenged to substantiate claims with credible links and has yet to provide a single one to prove its propaganda. Care to take up the torch?

You folks have a batshyte crazy conspiracy theory for everything!

Russia laptop says what?
Read my wording carefully, I carefully sellected my words with "Might" using Democrat word play, so basically you blasted the Dems and how they brainwash the dominions with speculative propaganda based on getting you to jump for them like good little circus animals.

It’s an election year. Your candidate is basically retarded. He’s one of the worst presidents in history.
Who’s next? Barron?

Possible? I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion.

The only thing that’s a foregone conclusion is leftism is a mental disorder.

Do you/they think this result will be different from the last time Democrats investigated Kuschner and his firm?

It will be if Merchan gets the case.
