Democratic lawmakers are asking the Justice Department to investigate former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, over his business dealings with Saudi Arabia.
Senate Finance Chair Ron Wyden of Oregon and Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland sent a letter on Thursday to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking to appoint a special counsel to determine whether Kushner violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

“Despite being engaged in plainly political activities, Mr. Kushner has not made [Foreign Agents Registration Act] disclosures to DOJ related to the millions of dollars he receives annually by entities owned and controlled by the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar,” the letter continued.
Wyden chairs the Senate Finance Committee, a Democratic-led panel currently investigating Kushner’s investment fund Affinity Partners and its foreign backing. The letter outlines the $2 billion investment the Saudi government’s Public Investment Fund poured into Affinity Partners, generating an estimated $87 million of management fees since June 2021. The estimated income is based on Affinity Partners’s fee structure, as disclosed to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Qatar and the United Arab Emirates combined with a Taiwanese billionaire have invested another $1 billion into Affinity Partners.

Kushner remains an influential figure in Trump world and publicly comments on Israel’s multi-front war against Iranian terror proxies Hamas and Hezbollah. As an adviser to Trump, Kushner spearheaded talks that produced the Abraham Accords, the Trump administration’s landmark Middle Eastern peace agreement. (National Review) […]
