Former top Trump adviser jaredkushner is facing an investigation from the House Oversight Committee into how he landed a $2 billion investment deal from Saudi Arabia following his White House departure.
Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney informed Kushner about the inquiry and demanded that he turn over correspondence he and his firm had with top Saudi officials, namely Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, by June 16."The Committee on Oversight and Reform is investigating whether you have improperly traded on your government position to obtain billions of dollars from the Saudi government and whether your personal financial interests improperly influenced U.S.
"For four years, you led the Trump Administration’s foreign policy in the Middle East, despite lacking any meaningful diplomatic experience, and despite significant conflicts of interest stemming from your family’s lucrative business dealings in the region," Maloney declared."Your support for Saudi interests was unwavering, even as Congress and the rest of the world closely scrutinized the country’s human rights abuses.
