    Jared’s very curious $2B windfall from MBS smells a bit. Don’t know if the inquiry survives into the new Congress - I doubt it - but the American people deserve to know how it all went down. I doubt we ever will know.

    House Oversight investigating $2B Saudi investment in Jared Kushner's firm

    She noted that Kushner created his investment firm the day after Trump left the White House in January 2021 and the Saudi government gave it the $2 billion six months later.

    "The Committee is concerned by your decision to solicit billions of dollars from the Saudi government immediately following your significant involvement in shaping U.S.-Saudi relations," Maloney said, adding that Kushner's close relationship with the crown prince as well as his pro-Saudi positions during the Trump administration and the Saudi government's funding "create the appearance of a quid pro quo for your foreign policy work during the Trump Administration."

    The nut job right wants to focus on Hunter Biden but the Trump crime family has been pocketing money from middle eastern companies from 2017 - present.

    If Saudi ties were damning, I doubt that any political operative, either party, would survive scrutiny.

    Not to mention.
    • Jared and Ivanka made $640 million while being WH advisors
    • Ivanka was granted 18 trademarks from China
    • Jared got $6.35 million in PPP loans meant for small businesses
    But we’re going to hear about that crackhead’s laptop. Nonstop

    Doesn't every WH advisor make $3,000,000 a week? What a gig. And that's what we know about

    Replace the name Jared with Hunter and you would be spinning this under the “nothing to see here” defense.

    They both need to be looked at and investigated.

    OK. When was Hunter a WH employee or government advisor. Joe had the good sense to keep that complete screwup out of the admin.

    Don’t forget 660 Fifth Avenue, and Jared’s ridiculously dumb decision which required a bail out. First it was the Chinese that offered an economically irrational bailout. When that fell through, it was the Qataris, who suddenly felt the desire to go into business with Jared after he greenlighted a blockade that threatened US bases and personnel outside channels.

    You cannot support that family and say you are loyal to the United States

    Which one was setting policies and negotiating on behalf of the USA? Does that matter?
