Senate Democrats are launching a new investigation into the foreign payments made to Jared Kushner's investment firm. Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden announced the probe on Wednesday, saying that the panel would investigate the billions of dollars that Affinity Partners manages from foreign sources. Kushner started Affinity in July 2021, less than six months after leaving the White House as a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump. The firm quickly attracted big-time investors from the Middle East and within weeks, landed $2 billion from the Saudi public investment fund. Affinity continues to overwhelmingly derive the majority of its funds from the Saudi Arabian government. "It is deeply concerning that several Middle Eastern governments are using funds managed by Affinity as a means to pay tens of millions of dollars in fees every year to former President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, creating significant conflicts of interest and potential counterintelligence risks," Wyden wrote to Affinity Partners Chief Financial Officer Lauren Key on Wednesday. Affinity has disclosed to regulators that 99 percent of the $3 billion of assets that the firm manages come from non-U.S. persons. The $1 billion not funded by Saudi Arabia is reportedly split between sovereign wealth funds owned by the governments of the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, Taiwanese billionaire and politician Terry Gou, and another investor whose identity has not yet been publicized.

On Wednesday, Wyden raised concern that Kushner and others were using Affinity's foreign-funded private investment funds as a loophole, exploiting those accounts to avoid federal laws that require Americans to disclose payments from foreign governments. He estimated that Affinity receives at least $60 million in management fees

laughable
now they are going after Trumps sons! while completely ignoring the Biden crime family grifters!!!!
The Stalinist Rats have a new target.
Kind of interesting because Jared Kushner is still a “Jewish Democrat”. But he had to work for his father in law, which is an unforgivable sin.
The Senator from New York (sic) is useless
Quite predictable.
Ronny Weyden, the Nazi RAT has chosen to go after Jared Kushner for his innocent LAWFARE victim. RAT dirtbags.
Well best if Jared and Ivanka stay away from Trump 2.0 anyway.
Jared actually did a good job. Abraham Accords.
That yes, but he and Ivanka otherwise pushed Trump left, she was welcoming of DACA and illegals, etc.
That creep is not one of Trump’s sons!
Trump put Jared in charge of his reelection, but Jared ignored working on election integrity because he was focused on his Abraham Accords.
Jared did a good job for Israel.
He should instead have done a good job for America.
Kushner was absolutely one of those members of Trump’s administration that never should have been. He absolutely took advantage of his position and Donald’s trust in him.
IF there is a second Trump administration I hope Kushner is LOCKED OUT.
He'll have his people get in touch with Wyden's AIPAC minder and this will go away fairly quickly.
Hunter diversion cover up story no trails of corruption just creating speculation to try and get Hunter off his tax evasion case coming up.
Hunter Joe and Obama may be feeling some heat soon dots popping up.
