Jared Kushner

Senate Democrats have launched a probe into Jared Kushner's business activities as the GOP continues its investigation of Hunter Biden.

Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, has come under scrutiny for receiving money from foreign governments including $2 billion from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund in 2021, six months after he left his role as a White House adviser to the former president in January 2021.

New comprehensive presidential ethics legislation in the House has an unlikely, bipartisan duo behind it: House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.).

Among other provisions, the legislation would require the president and vice president to disclose tax returns for two years preceding office, any foreign payments received, family members accompanying them on official travel and conflicts of interest.

Read the legislative text.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) are pairing up in a rare moment of bipartisanship to introduce legislation that seeks to prevent presidential candidates from “profiting from their proximity to power.”

A bipartisan pair of influential lawmakers proposed new rules forcing presidents to make their tax returns public and mandating that family members reveal more financial information, but the measure drew opposition from the White House.

Editor’s note: This report has been updated to clarify the Saudi sovereign’s advisory panel position on giving funds to Jared Kushner’s firm.

Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner engaged in a “level of corruption that we’ve just never seen” when talking about his firm’s recent investments overseas. 

Former President Trump and members of his family failed to disclose more than 100 gifts worth nearly $300,000 that they received from foreign governments during his presidency, according to a report House Oversight and Accountability Committee Democrats released on Friday.

After years of baseless Republican bellyaching that Big Tech content-moderation policies qualify as illegal in-kind campaign contributions to Democrats, a court filing last week appeared to flip the script in a very real way.

And then on Tuesday, the script may have flipped again.

Last week’s filing—submitted as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ billion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Fox News—accused network patriarch Rupert Murdoch of giving Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign a sneak peak at an unreleased Joe Biden ad.

Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch handed Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner “confidential information” about then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign ads before they aired on the conservative network, according to a new court filing.

The leaks provided Kushner, then a Trump White House adviser, with “a preview of Biden’s ads before they were public,” according to court documents released Monday in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6-billion defamation suit against Fox News.

Then-President Donald Trump nearly fired his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner from the White House via tweet, according to a new book from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

Former White House adviser Jared Kushner called the move by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to send migrants from the southern border to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., in protest of Biden’s immigration policies “very troubling” even as he advocated for former President Trump’s stringent immigration platform.
