JARED KUSHNER’S REAL-ESTATE FIRM SOUGHT MONEY DIRECTLY FROM QATAR GOVERNMENT WEEKS BEFORE BLOCKADE

The failure to broker the deal would be followed only a month later by a Middle Eastern diplomatic row in which Jared Kushner provided critical support to Qatar’s neighbors. Led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, a group of Middle Eastern countries, with Kushner’s backing, led a diplomatic assault that culminated in a blockade of Qatar. Kushner, according to reports at the time, subsequently undermined efforts by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to bring an end to the standoff.

The news of Kushner Companies’ direct pitch to the Qatari government puts a Wednesday report from the Washington Post into broader context. U.S. intelligence services, the paper reported, had determined that officials in four countries — the United Arab Emirates, China, Israel, and Mexico — had been privately discussing how to use Jared Kushner’s real-estate investments as a way to gain leverage over him in order to influence official U.S. policy.

  1. I like the Intercept, they have some ineresting theories about Ukraine, but you probably wouldn't accept them because they ruin your narrative...

  2. If this story is 4 years old, why has there not been any investigation into it?
    Apparently he did not succeed with Qatar,. The question is whether someoen in office can carry out business on the open market? If so, Qatari wealth funds are part of the open market. I am not defending any specific transaction he did - but if he did wrong, why is he not being investigated? They are asking him voluntarily about Jan 6th, but not about this - so it's a non-event.
