While the president’s son-in-law serves as one of the Trump administration’s lead negotiators in the Middle East, Jared Kushner is simultaneously raising money for his private equity firm — from some of the very same governments he’s negotiating with.

It’s part of a disturbing pattern we’ve seen before. His alarming number of conflicts of interest and the potential for self-dealing raise a host of troubling questions around his ability to act with integrity:

• Are Kushner's private equity firm's financial interests influencing U.S. Middle East negotiations?
• Were the billions that his firm received from the Saudi government, for example, kickbacks on past actions or down payments on future favors?
• Do Kushner’s Gaza beachfront property plans influence his role on the White House-appointed Gaza Executive Board?

Fortunately, we’re not the only ones asking questions. Members of Congress have launched investigations in both the House and Senate. Now, with enough public pressure, we’ll push Congress to shine a light on Kushner’s conflicts of interest and pursue accountability.
