Inside Jared Kushner’s Dual Role

Bloomberg: “Since his father-in-law took the US to war with Iran, he’s engaged in a campaign of official peacemaking and private moneymaking like none in modern American history.”

“Between attempts to broker peace, Kushner has participated in investment meetings at his private equity firm, Affinity Partners, which manages billions for Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to a person familiar with the matter.”

“Those three energy-rich Gulf states aren’t just longtime allies of Washington but also key Affinity clients: They’ve agreed to pay Kushner’s firm tens of millions of dollars in fees annually in hopes of gaining influence at the White House as well as returns for their portfolios, according to people familiar with the matter. Trump’s decision to move forward with an Iran war that all three opposed shows the constraints of that approach.”
