Finally Spotlight on Jared Kushner: He Received $2 Billion from Saudi Prince MBS for

Me in cahoots with the Saudis for $2B, Lol Lol Lol 

GOP Committee Chairs Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and most others in their camp are hell bent on impeaching President Joe Biden on as it turns out a “nothing burger” investigation vs. Jared Kushner’s proven fact that he got $2 billion from Saudi Prince MBS shortly after leaving his Trump White House position. 

That is now in the spotlight based on this story wherein the DEMS are demanding to hear from him under oath laid out in this NEWSWEEK article headline:

“Jared Kushner Called to Face the Music”

Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin (MD) and Robert Garcia (CA) are calling on Republicans to hold a hearing for Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner over a $2 billion investment his private equity firm received shortly after he left the White House.

Democrats have often discussed the money Kushner's firm, Affinity Partners, and the $2B he received from a fund led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).

The investment was received six months after Kushner left his White House adviser role under Trump in January 2021. 

This comes as Republicans have tried to impeach President Joe Biden over allegations the president benefited from his son, Hunter Biden's foreign dealings while in office and to date with no evidence.

Meanwhile, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee already previously released a report alleging Trump's businesses received millions in foreign payments while he was in office. 

Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, dismissed the report's finding as a joke and said that all the company's profits from its business with foreign governments were voluntarily donated to the United States Treasury.

Rep. Jamie Raksin (D-MD), a ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and Rep. Garcia (D-CA) a ranking member of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, sent a letter asking leading Republicans on the House Oversight Committee to hold a hearing over Kushner's “apparent influence peddling and quid pro quos for actions he undertook to reshape U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.”

They said in their letter: “We write to urge you to convene a hearing regarding Jared Kushner's apparent influence peddling and quid pro quo deals involving investments in exchange for official actions and to examine the resulting threats to our national security. Our request comes in light of allegations that Jared Kushner is pursuing new foreign business deals, just as Donald Trump becomes the presumptive Republican nominee for the presidency. This Committee cannot claim to be ‘investigating foreign national’ attempts to target and coerce high-ranking U.S. officials' family members by providing money or other benefits in exchange for certain actions while continuing to ignore these matters.”

NOTE: The Raskin/Garcia letter noted that Comer previously had indicated that Republicans would also have questions for Trump's family members, including Jared Kushner.

Comer then conceded “… Mr. Kushner's conduct ‘crossed the line of ethics'’ and we promise that the Oversight Committee will investigate Mr. Kushner.”

Jordan said Kushner had a positive impact on diplomacy, including being one of the “key officials” involved in the Abraham Accords Act — a diplomatic agreement between Israel and the Arab countries that was brokered by Trump in September 2020.

Rep. Jordan said: “Of course the Democrats don't want to admit that.”

In response to that from Jordan, Rep. Raskin said he has a motion to have the committee “…move to subpoena Kushner and compel his testimony related to the $2 billion he was given by Saudi Prince MBS shortly after Kushner left the Trump White House.”

My 2 Cents: This action DEM Reps. Raskin and Garcia is long overdue and very timely … the evidence is clear re: Kushner’s foreign money links vs. that which the GOP has not made to Mr. Biden. As plain as day.

I say that based on this according to ethics experts, who say the investment creates the appearance of potential payback for Kushner, given that he had been a staunch defender of the Saudi crown prince (MBS) while he served in the Trump White House. 

The DEM-run House Oversight Committee said on June 2, 2022, that it had opened an investigation into whether Kushner had traded on his government position to get the deal. 

Now Raskin is pushing the GOP now in charge since 2022, to honor the commitment to investigate Kushner.

How will Kushner react, we wonder – he will probably pull a Trump and refuse to testify under oath. But, in this case he must be held to account without any doubt.

We shall see – so, stay tuned. Thanks for stopping by.
