Jared Kushner secured a '$2 BILLION investment from the Saudi wealth fund six months after leaving Trump's White House - despite doubts about his investment experience'

Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment in his private equity firm from Saudi Arabia's state-owned sovereign wealth fund just six months after the end of the Trump administration, a new report claimed on Sunday.

Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and former White House senior adviser, secured the massive deal despite being flagged for its 'inexperience' and 'public relations risks' by a panel of economics experts who screen the wealth fund's investments, the New York Times reports.

During his time in the White House, Kushner was known for his close personal relationship with Saudi Arabia's de facto leader Mohammed bin-Salman and for helping him secure a $110 billion arms deal. He was among the Saudi royal family's staunchest defenders within the administration amid international outrage over its murder of US-based journalist and MBS critic Jamal Khashoggi.

#1. Who cares what the facts are, as long as it is a excuse to attack Trump on the left and attack his closest family and in laws on the right. Affinity Partners is a 20 year old equity firm that was worth around $10 bn in 2020. It is not “his” equity firm and it is not “his” money. Which means, after he was out of the Trump administration, he negotiated a deal between Saudi Arabia and a private equity firm. This is only a problem when those the press hates do it.

“doubts about his experience”???

He has AN ACTUAL COMPANY doing this for a living...

Who has ‘doubts’???

There are too many newbies here posting for the first time ever who have not learned to consider THE SOURCE of ‘news’ like this. FR is getting infested with them lately.

It is a giant-sized nothing-burger.

Unlike Hunter Biden, Kushner DOES HAVE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE

What did his father get in trouble for?

—————————————————-
My Father was a bootlegger and a killer.
I don’t drink, and I have never killed anyone.

Kushner vetoed Chris Christie's chance of working in the Trump White House, because Christie, while governor, refused to pardon Kushner's father.

So Kushner supported his father's criminality, and hurt the Trump White House by denying it Christie's services.

How much investment experience did Chelsea Hubble’s husband have?

Did you hear me, or any conservative critic of Kusher, defend Hubble? So why bring it up?

The DM could spend years listing every American politician or staffer that did this.

And I'm sure they have listed others over the decades. I haven't gone through all the bask issues.

Kushner was de facto Secretary of State. He moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, and brokered a peace agreement between Israel and the UAE, something John Kerry had said was impossible without the creation of a Palestinian state.

The limited services Christie did provide include recommending Christopher Wray to head the FBI.

Maybe excluding him from the FBI was petty revenge; maybe it was wise counsel.

They may have nothing on him, but if it looks like too similar a payoff to the pol’s next generation they could muddy the waters as far as appearances go, even without directly incriminating info.

Muddying the waters and conflating things that are not related, is the stock-in-trade of the News Misleadia.

Why, just today, they claimed a 500% increase in 'ghost guns' at crime scenes. However, they conflated defaced firearms with the serial numbers removed, with privately-made firearms. They lumped in the defaced firearms, to lie about privately-made ones.

Kushner's father pled guilty to a federal crime. The Governor had no authority to pardon him. Christie was the US Attorney in NJ at the time, and claimed in his "tell all" book that Jared black balled him because of that. He offers zero evidence. In reality, it was almost certainly the November 2016 "Bridgegate" convictions that brought the scandal back to the spotlight and almost certainly caused Trump to cut him. Bad timing.

You seem somewhat uninformed, but don't let that stop you...

Yep. And all too often it works with all too many people.

"Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment in his private equity firm from Saudi Arabia's state-owned sovereign wealth fund . . . "

I know nothing about the equity business, but this sounds like an investment in Kushner's company, not a personal handout. Presumably the Saudi government thinks it will get some return on this investment, and with no guarantee that Trump will ever be president again, is there any reason to believe this is not just a straight business decision?

Better reduce the caffeine intake and take a refreshing walk. Just a suggestion.
