How is Donald TRump different.
Jared collected close to 3 Billion from various Gulf oil states... and there's a much better argument to be made that influence was peddled there, because he was working in the White House (even though he couldn't get a security clearance) at the time
He did not. Even reports that do not cite a person allege the report was 2 Billion.
Funny how Biden is real tight with the Saudis after saying he would go after them.
Kushner remarks below on this issue:
He said the sovereign wealth fund, which has significant stakes in companies such as Uber, Nintendo and Microsoft, is one of the most prestigious investors in the world.
He also defended Prince Mohammed when asked if he believed U.S. intelligence reports that the prince approved the 2018 killing of Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist. The prince has denied any involvement.
"Are we really still doing this?" Kushner at first said when he was asked if he believed the conclusions from U.S. intelligence.
Kushner said he had not seen the intelligence report released in 2021 that concluded the crown prince likely approved Khashoggi's killing inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
"I know the person who I dealt with. I think he's a visionary leader. I think what he's done in that region is transformational," Kushner said.
He stood by the Trump administration's policies and called it "one of the greatest compliments" that President Biden backed away from his initial stance to shun Saudis for human rights violations to instead work with the crown prince on issues like oil production and security in the region.
"I understand why people, you know, are upset about that," Kushner said of Khashoggi's killing. "I think that what happened there was absolutely horrific. But again, our job was to represent America, and to try to push forward things in America."
Kushner also said he's not interested in rejoining the White House if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, saying he was focused on his investment business and his living with his family in Florida, out of the public eye.
