Two senior Democratic lawmakers are demanding answers from the White House regarding Jared Kushner’s efforts to raise billions of dollars from Middle East governments for his private-equity fund. This move comes while Kushner serves as an envoy for the Trump administration in the region.
Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) of the House Oversight Committee and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) of the Senate Finance Committee sent letters to the White House and Kushner’s firm. They stated their “serious concerns about whether the White House is letting Mr. Kushner use his influence for personal financial gain.” They went on to say that these actions could create conflicts of interest, potentially threatening the security of the American people.
