The House oversight committee has opened an investigation into ex-Trump White House adviser Jared Kushner’s new Saudi-backed investment fund and whether the real estate heir turned presidential adviser leveraged his former government position for personal gain.
In a letter to Mr Kushner, the committee’s chair, Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York, wrote that her committee is investigating whether he “improperly traded on your government position to obtain billions of dollars from the Saudi government” and whether his “personal financial interests improperly influenced U.S. foreign policy” during his time serving as one of former president Donald Trump’s closest advisers.
