This is eye-opening (I’m gifting this article so you can read it behind the paywall in its entirety):

After helping prince’s rise, Trump and Kushner benefit from Saudi funds

In early 2021, as Donald Trump exited the White House, he and his son-in-law Jared Kushner faced unprecedented business challenges. Revenue at Trump’s properties had plummeted during his presidency, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters made his brand even more polarizing. Kushner, whose last major business foray had left his family firm needing a $1.2 billion bailout, faced his own political fallout as a senior Trump aide.

But one ally moved quickly to the rescue.

The day after leaving the White House, Kushner created a company that he transformed months later into a private equity firm with $2 billion from a sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Kushner’s firm structured those funds in such a way that it did not have to disclose the source, according to previously unreported details of Securities and Exchange Commission forms reviewed by The Washington Post. His business used a commonly employed strategy that allows many equity firms to avoid transparency about funding sources, experts said.

A year after his presidency, Trump’s golf courses began hosting tournaments for the Saudi fund-backed LIV Golf. Separately, the former president’s family company, the Trump Organization, secured an agreement with a Saudi real estate company that plans to build a Trump hotel as part of a $4 billion golf resort in Oman.

And it goes on, deeply reporting this MASSIVE  corruption. This might be one to return to at lunchtime (wherever you are) and read it carefully and in detail.

      Could turn into “but Biden’s laptop”. It’s always “Biden”, have you noticed? They might forget to mention “Hunter” but they never forget “Biden”. It’s probably the point of that particular story, in fact.
      Some of the people being questioned or involved in the Hunter’s laptop committee are asking that committee when they are planning on investigating Kushner.

    I love that image!
    It’s so hard to not be impatient about these Trumps still not being picked up and charged.
