Raskin Explains Why Democrats Didn't Probe $2B Saudi Investment In Kushner's Firm In 2020 — But 'A Complete Report' Is Coming
- 7 months ago
Former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner courted controversy over the $2 billion investment his private-equity fund Affinity Partners received from a Saudi investment fund backed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) in a recent media appearance revealed why Democrats did not launch an investigation into the investment when the Democratic Party controlled the Senate in 2020 and 2021.
What Happened? Raskin said Kushner’s crime came to light after Trump stepped down from office. “Well, remember, Jared's essential crime against the constitutional republic came right after the Trump administration ended,” he said in an interview with MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, Mediaite reported.
“It was, I think, the day after it ended that he created the corporation which he proceeded to endow with two billion dollars from the homicidal crown prince of Saudi Arabia, and then other sovereign wealth funds from Gulf monarchs,” he added.
