cccjwh Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 'He's Cashing In': Kushner Firm Gets $2 Billion From Saudi Fund Run by Crown Prince (commondreams.org) 'He's Cashing In': Kushner Firm Gets $2 Billion From Saudi Fund Run by Crown Prince Watchdogs noted that the investment came after Kushner "used his position in the White House to advance Saudi interests"—and shield the regime from accountability for the Khashoggi murder. A private equity firm created by former White House adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner has reportedly secured a $2 billion investment from a sovereign wealth fund directed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a deal that watchdog groups and lawmakers viewed as part of Kushner's effort to cash in on his favorable treatment of the brutal Saudi regime. "Just because the breathtaking corruption occurs in public doesn't make it not breathtaking." The New York Times reported Sunday that Kushner's new firm, Affinity Partners, netted the investment six months after the end of the Trump administration "despite objections from the [Saudi] fund's advisers about the merits of the deal," heightening suspicions that the money is payback for Kushner's defense of bin Salman in the wake of the gruesome 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
