“This type of attack on an accomplished American citizen is unwarranted,” said Stephen Schwarzman, chief executive of the private equity firm Blackstone and one of President Trump’s closest Wall Street allies. “Ben is a talented investor who has done a tremendous job for the pensioners.” “It goes against American values to impugn someone’s character on the basis of their family’s national origin.”Meng, 50, denied Banks’ claims and said his connections with Thousand Talents ended when he left SAFE two years ago.
