Kushner's Affinity Partners raises billions from Gulf governments while shaping Mideast policy
Jared Kushner's private equity firm Affinity Partners grew to roughly $5.4 billion in assets under management, funded substantially by the Saudi Public Investment Fund ($2 billion), Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, and Abu Dhabi-based Lunate, while Kushner has served as an informal Middle East envoy for the administration.
What happened
Senate Finance Committee leaders Wyden and Garcia and the House Judiciary Committee opened investigations into whether Kushner solicited billions from Gulf monarchies while simultaneously influencing U.S. foreign policy toward those same countries.
Why it matters
A senior presidential family member and de facto foreign policy envoy is being paid enormous sums by the sovereign wealth funds of countries whose relations with the U.S. he personally helps shape, presenting one of the clearest documented appearances of foreign governments monetizing access to the president's family.
