Son-in-law and "Jack of all trades" made his way into the news once again. There's some reporting by the NY Times (behind a paywall), and a summary in the second link. The first includes another summary plus a clip of Rachel Maddow talking about it.
As a summary, Kushner has had *private dealings* with Saudi Arabia in his business of private equity. They (the country and prominent individuals) have invested significant sums (like, billions) into his company and he is helping broker a deal for them to purchase Electronic Arts (you know, an American gaming company, which would now be foreign owned - Make America Great!).
He is also the chief envoy to middle east affairs. He has met in a weirdly official US capacity with Iran, Israel, and Saudi Arabia - without any official title (and likely in violation of federal law). Conflict of interests abound, and because he doesn't have a title, he doesn't have to report on the money he accepts.
Anyway, Saudi Arabia rather publicly lobbied for the US to attack Iran, and then we did. And perhaps not surprisingly, since the attack began, Sadia Arabia's crown prince has shown up on the White House call log frequently.
The thing to remember is that for T-rump its always. ALWAYS. About the money, and enriching himself.
If only we had some means of looking into this and holding everyone accountable for their actions. Too bad the DOJ is totally corrupt, and Congress turns a blind eye, isn't it?
