Jared Kushner's private equity firm concealed the origins of Saudi-backed funds and used the SEC's own rules to help them do it, report says

• In April 2022, The New York Times reported Jared Kushner received $2.5 billion in Saudi-backed funds.
  A new Washington Post report reveals how Kushner's company concealed the source of the funds.
  On an SEC form, a box reading "Sovereign wealth funds and foreign official institutions" was blank.

Immediately after leaving the White House, former Senior Adviser Jared Kushner created a company that would eventually become a private equity firm with ties to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

But because of SEC rules on reporting assets from investors of private equity funds, Kushner was able to legally conceal the identity of his investors and list them only as "non-United States persons" according to a new report from the Washington Post.

The New York Times reported in April 2022 that Kushner — who worked on Middle East policy under former President Donald Trump — was able to secure over $2.5 billion in funds for his company Affinity Partners.

Kushner also reportedly tried to leverage his relationship with other Middle Eastern countries like the United Arab Emirates to secure funds for his firm, but this came with little success.

The largest share of money came from the $620 billion Public Investment Fund led by MBS, who personally overstepped recommendations by a Saudi panel advising him against investing in the firm, the Times reported.

In 2018, MBS reportedly bragged that Kushner was "in his pocket."

According to the Post, on a copy of Kushner's Form ADV, an SEC form to register investment ventures, Kushner also lists the client of the $2.5 billion in funds under "Pooled investment vehicles as clients" rather than under "Sovereign wealth funds and foreign official institutions."

Chad Mizelle, an adviser to Kushner's company, told the Post in a statement that this was the correct designation, while the SEC declined to comment.

The form is listed under A Fin Management, which later transformed into Affinity Partners, the Post reported. In the form, Kushner lists Affinity as an "other business name."

Currently, the SEC and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, an enforcement branch of the US Treasury, do not require investment advisers to report or verify the identities of investors or maintain programs that would deter money laundering schemes, according to a letter to the Treasury Department sent by Democratic Senators in the wake of Russian oligarchs using US investment firms to hide their financial activities.

While Ivanka Trump, 41, has always had a slim frame, and her recent Instagram post accentuated her shrinking body. However, her fans have grown worried about her small size and many think that it might have to do with her mother’s, Ivana Trump, recent passing.

On Feb. 2, Trump’s daughter posted two photos of her dancing in a chic white fringe mini dress. The outfit has a sexy cut-out in the mid-drift to show off her toned abs. For shoes, Ivanka opted for silver heels. And, as for glam, she parted her blonde hair in a deep side party, wore a light smokey eye, and a nude lip. She captioned her post with two dancing women emojis.

RIP. That sentence died without ever coming near the point. None of the phrases are nouns, and there's no verb, and it's all just so sad to think about it. You can tell the author had a point somewhere in there, but it got away from him (or her) and out the door running.

Here's a drawing of a woman. Place an arrow pointing to her mid-drift, por favor.



Or maybe just point out her midriff.

I'm trying to figure out what a "side party" is.

Donald Trump Jr. Makes Disgusting Comment About John Fetterman To Marjorie Taylor Greene

Donald Trump Jr. echoed ugly right-wing attacks on Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) when he called the lawmaker ― who has an auditory processing disorder after experiencing a stroke last year — the “vegetable senator from Pennsylvania” during an episode of his “Triggered” podcast on Thursday.

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) quickly informed Trump Jr. that Fetterman was “back in the hospital by the way,” referencing his checking in this week to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to receive treatment for clinical depression.

“And I wish him well, I don’t mean him any harm,” the Trump scion responded.

“Yeah, no, we do wish him well,” agreed Greene.

But Trump Jr. then railed against people who have accused him of being “ableist” with his criticism of Fetterman, who had a stroke last year.

“It’s the ability to do the job,” Greene said. “We need someone that’s thinking really well.”
