Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) once boasted he had Jared Kushner “in his pocket.”
Explosive allegations indicate MbS may not be the only one: A new book details how Kushner quietly influenced U.S. policy decisions across the Middle East all while gaining access to a tidy $2 BILLION from governments across the region during the first Trump administration.
Today, Kushner continues to unofficially steer U.S. foreign policy across the globe, participating in sensitive negotiations on highly volatile conflicts from Gaza to Iran to Ukraine. He simultaneously runs a billion-dollar investment firm that invests in companies tied to the Israeli military and is overwhelmingly financed by foreign investors that include Saudi, Emirati, and Qatari government-run funds.
Troubling questions about Kushner’s conflicts of interest follow him wherever he goes: Was there a "quid pro quo" arrangement? Did Kushner's decisions during Trump 1.0 benefit him financially down the line? What’s this all mean for his current role and influence?
It’s difficult to know where to begin. But here’s what we do know: If organizations like ours and people like you stay silent in moments like these, we’ll allow blatant corruption to be normalized, and even deepen.
