'Grifting runs in family': Outrage as Jared Kushner's firm Affinity Partners revealed to be 99% funded by foreign sources

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Jared Kushner, the former senior White House advisor and son-in-law of ex-President Donald Trump, has been raking in billions for his private investment firm Affinity Partners since its launch in 2021.

However, a bombshell SEC filing reveals that a staggering 99 percent of the $1.2 billion invested so far has come from foreign sources with ties to Kushner's time in the Trump administration.

Countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates poured money into Affinity's investment fund

The New York Times broke the story, detailing how countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and corporate tycoons like Foxconn founder Terry Gou have poured money into Affinity's $3 billion investment fund.

These are the very same nations and individuals that Kushner frequently dealt with as Trump's Middle East envoy and key negotiator of the Abraham Accords normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab states.

The details of some of Affinity's investments only heighten concerns. The firm has backed an Israeli car leasing company, a Dubai online real estate platform, and a Brazilian fast food chain supported by Abu Dhabi - all regions where Kushner operated extensively during his White House years.

Jared Kushner under fire for remarks about commercial development of Palestinian territory

But the biggest ethical landmines may be Affinity's two newly announced mega-deals - a $500 million hotel and condo development in Serbia, and two luxury projects in Albania. As the Times notes, these lucrative opportunities were only made possible because of Kushner's prior meetings with the leaders of those countries when serving Trump.

Amid mounting revelations, Kushner's controversial remarks have further stoked public outrage. His recent comments regarding the conflict in Gaza, where he appeared to endorse the potential commercial development of Palestinian territory, have drawn condemnation for their insensitivity and disregard for human rights, as per The New Republic.
