John, Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner really capitalized on his time in the White House.

He made over 10 trips to the Persian Gulf – all on taxpayers’ dime – to foster a closer relationship with Saudi Arabia. In fact, in the last few months of the Trump administration, Kushner made three trips to Saudi Arabia including one a day before the January 6th insurrection.

Then, the day after he left the White House, Kushner created a company that became the private equity fund – and six months later he entered into a $2 BILLION deal from the Saudi Arabian government's Public Investment Fund.

Jared Kushner is receiving billions of dollars from relationships he made as a government employee.

John, it’s pretty apparent that he made and was involved in decisions that were unusually favorable to the Saudis and then he turned around, within weeks of leaving the White House, and was engaging in negotiations with them to obtain a $2 billion investment. This raises all kinds of national security concerns for a former government official at that level — a former White House official — who never legitimately qualified for a security clearance.

This is one of the most egregious situations I’ve ever seen in decades of working in the federal government as an ethics official.

At CREW, we’ve long called for an investigation into Kushner’s relationship with Saudi Arabia. And now, finally, the Senate has launched an investigation into Kushner’s firm.

We need to know what Kushner may have given the Saudis in exchange for that investment.

CREW will continue our investigative and legal work to expose this corruption – because we can’t allow our public officials to be bought, or to sell out the interests of the American people for a payout when they leave government.

Thank you,
