Obama Advisor Accuses Kushner of 'Unprecedented Corruption' Over $2B Saudi Investment After White House
-
Former Obama advisor Ben Rhodes accused Jared Kushner of unprecedented corruption for securing a $2 billion Saudi investment 6 months after leaving the White House.
-
Rhodes said the investment suggests Saudi Arabia expects to influence US foreign policy in exchange for the money if Trump is re-elected.
-
Kushner oversaw Middle East policy in the Trump administration and worked extensively with Gulf states, leading to the payoff after he left office.
-
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said Kushner "crossed the line of ethics" by accepting the investment.
-
Rhodes said Kushner's actions amount to "putting a price tag on American foreign policy" and are a level of corruption "we’ve just never seen."
