"It appears to be a payoff": Expert says #Kushner's #Saudi cash an "egregious" national security worry
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden is investigating Saudi support for #JaredKushner's private equity firm
By Charles R. Davis

"As The New York Times reported in April, Kushner’s investment fund, valued at $3 billion, 'is financed almost entirely from overseas investors with whom he worked when he served as a senior adviser in the Trump White House.'
"Some two-thirds of that money has come from #SaudiArabia’s state-run Public Investment Fund, whose own advisers deemed Kushner’s fund 'unsatisfactory in all aspects' only to be overruled by a board that includes Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the man who ordered the killing of U.S.-Saudi journalist #JamalKhashoggi when Trump was in office and who Kushner today describes as a 'visionary leader.' The other third? Much of it reportedly comes from other #SovereignWealthFunds run by the likes of #Qatar and the #UnitedArabEmirates.
"That arrangement — Kusner receiving billions of dollars from friends he made as a government employee — has attracted scrutiny from Democrats and watchdog groups, who suspect that Charles Kushner’s son (turned #Ivanka #Trump’s husband) might be doing so well for reasons that are not entirely above board."
