The son-in-law of an indicted alleged criminal and former White House senior advisor to said indictee Jared Kushner has secured more than $200 million in “investment” from powerful Middle Eastern oligarchs, adding to $2 billion it received from Saudi friends, the New York Times reports.
Although he had zero experience as a wealth manager or investment advisor, Kushner set up an investment fund after leaving his White House job and quickly secured massive investment from the Saudis. Kushner claims the investment was independent of his advocacy for Saudi protection and his friendship with Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi prince accused of ordering the murder and dismemberment of an American-based journalist. The massive investment will generate at least $20 million in annual management fees for Kushner and his partners.
