Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden on Tuesday pretty much outright accused former Trump White House “advisor” and son-in-law Jared Kushner’s shell company, Affinity Partners, of running “a compensation scheme involving US political figures designed to circumvent the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” by taking at least $3 billion from Saudi Prince Mohammed Bonesaw, his country’s sovereign wealth fund, the Qatar and the United Arab Emirates’ sovereign wealth funds, and Taiwanese billionaire Terry Gou, and “a sixth mystery foreign investor Affinity has declined to identify,” for which Kush and Crew collected $157 million in fees for the hard work.
The return? A staggering $0 as of July 2024. “Affinity’s investors may not be motivated by commercial considerations, but rather the opportunity to funnel foreign government money to members of President Trump’s family, namely Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump,” Wyden wrote to CEO Chad Mizelle, who may or may not be a community college dropout recruited from a local Best Buy’s car audio installation team to serve as Kushner’s front man for the money laundering scheme.
Well doesn’t House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer look stupid for saying “Jared Kushner actually has a legitimate business. This money to the Bidens happened while Joe Biden was vice president, while he was flying to those countries,” last year? Bet he’s real mad at Kushner now, right?
