Launch a formal investigation into Jared Kushner's financial activities while serving as a special envoy for the Trump administration. The New Yorker reports that Kushner raised $5 billion for his firm, Affinity Partners, from Middle Eastern donors during the same period he was conducting peace negotiations with Iran on behalf of the United States. That is not a coincidence — that is a textbook conflict of interest.
The question isn't subtle: was Kushner negotiating for America or for his investors? Gulf state leaders reportedly believed their money in Affinity would buy them influence, and a former senior U.S. official told The New Yorker, "Their whole business model was stability. And now it's gone." Affinity also put nearly $300 million into Israeli financial companies using Saudi money — while Kushner was shaping U.S. policy toward both countries. Congress has both the authority and the obligation to find out whether American foreign policy was for sale.
