Maybe this will be helpful. For a little context Kushner Companies didn't have the cash to make a large mortgage payment on the office building at 666 5th Avenue. Were it not for the bailout in the form of a long term lease by a firm in which the Qatar Sovereign Wealth Fund held a significant interest there is a a good chance that the Kushner Company would have had to declare bankruptcy. From the link.

Kushner Companies is reportedly nearing an agreement that would give control of one of its most prominent properties to a company with links to the Qatari government. The New York Times reported Thursday that Kushner Companies, which is owned by the family of White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, is close to a deal with Brookfield Properties on the fate of the financially troubled building at 666 Fifth Ave. in Midtown Manhattan. Brookfield is a Canadian-based, publicly traded company, but one of its largest shareholders is the Qatar Investment Authority, according to the Times.

The newspaper reported that Brookfield and the Qatar Investment Authority have collaborated on several projects and also both control an office complex in London. According to the Times, as part of the buyout, Brookfield would take over the building on Fifth Avenue and invest hundreds of millions of dollars on renovating it.

So no wrong doing? No laws broken?
There is a lot post on This board accusing Kushner of selling info to ME companies/countries.. and I wouldnt be overly surprised.. but is there any proof? Did he drop off a laptop with incriminating photos and info on it and forget about it?

We know it is not going to be UNRWA.

Would assume it might be the Arab League. They will want to ensure Iran and their proxies do not get back in.

and the arab league will be inclined to do business with companies that will benefit their members, and we know that graft is ripe in those supply chains even when administered by the Arab league. jmo, good time to have an inside with the ME power brokers who will be supplying the money. If a VE can't make a nice profit in that environment, well....

While the transaction was legal it was also clearly questionable ethically. It was essentially a bribe paid to the then president's son-in-law who was also one of his principle advisors. In 2017 the Trump Administration accused Qatar of supporting terrorism. After the Kushner Companies received the bailout Qatar was no longer considered a supporter of terrorism. You think there was a link?
