Is Jared Kushner another Hunter Biden? Recent reports indicate that Kushner may have eerie similarities to Biden. Kushner is accused of accepting a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia six months after leaving the White House, this being a way, it was suggested, for Crown Prince Mohammed to exert influence on U.S. foreign policy if Trump returns to the Oval Office after the November election. I had given a link to that article in this post initially, but I just tried it and was taken to the wrong site, so I’ve tried another. This one is similar, click here for more information.
The New York Times reportedly broke the story a few days ago, saying that 99 percent of Kushner’s investment fund’s money came from foreign sources. The Times also reported Kushner is working on developing hotels in the Balkans, specifically in Serbia and Albania, and noted that the firm has taken money from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. (My memory on this isn’t perfect, but I seem to recall that the New York Times was silent about Hunter Biden’s laptop before the last election.)
This will be short, but I wanted to highlight the irony (there may be a better descriptive word) that a son, and a son-in-law, of our two heavily-flawed candidates (if you haven’t seen my evaluation of each, click here for Trump, and here for Biden) for the highest office in our land, seem to have been involved in slimy international business deals. Is Jared Kushner another Hunter Biden? What will we learn next?
Do you think the difference might be that the Kushner investment can have credible returns whereas Hunter was selling influence only?
It’s possible, Michael, but if Kushner’s investment plans were solid, it’s difficult for me to understand why he would need to get 99% of his funding from outside the country, especially from places like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. To me, given his closeness to father-in-law Trump, his source of funding has a whiff of shenanigan about it.
