Less than two weeks before Election Day, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee has urged the U.S. attorney general to appoint a special counsel to probe Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump's son-in-law. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., accused Kushner of potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) related to his financial activities post his White House tenure.
Kushner, who served as a senior White House adviser in the Trump administration, has faced scrutiny over his hedge fund, Affinity Partners, which Democrats allege may have received undisclosed foreign payments. Raskin and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., highlighted reports suggesting Kushner acted as an unregistered foreign agent for Saudi Arabia.
