FormerĀ ObamaĀ deputy national security adviserĀ Ben RhodesĀ saidĀ President TrumpāsĀ son-in-lawĀ Jared KushnerĀ engaged in a ālevel of corruption that weāve just never seenā when talking about his firmās recent investments overseas.
Rhodes said that Kushner engaged in corruption when asked about The New York Timesās recent reporting that detailed that 99 percent of his investment fundās moneyĀ came from foreign sources. The outlet also reported Kushner is working on developing hotels in the Balkans, specifically in Serbia and Albania, and noted that the firm has taken money from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
āI mean, look, this is not subtle corruption that weāre looking at,ā Rhodes told MSNBCās Alex Wagner during his Wednesday appearance on āAlex Wagner Tonight.ā
āThis is a guy, Jared Kushner, who had no expertise, no qualification whatsoever to be in the White House while he was there. He made it his account to work in the Gulf Arab states. He basically helped lead the cover-up for [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud]. Get him in from the cold after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.ā
Sure you donāt need 5 min, but you could use 5 to talk about all the shadiness and still not cover it all.
