Democrats on two congressional committees have begun an intensive effort to find out whether Jared Kushner's policy actions in the Persian Gulf while working as a senior White House advisor were influenced by the bailout of a property that his family business owned.
Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and House Oversight Chairwoman Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, D-N.Y., cited previously undisclosed emails related to Kushner in letters to the Departments of State and Defense on Monday requesting other materials that they believe could reveal whether "Kushner's financial conflict of interest may have led him to improperly influence U.S. tax, trade and national security policies for his own financial gain."
