according to a person close to kushner, which cu when kushner d by the fbi, he saw cause for alarm. we had previously heard about this strange warning involving rupert murdoch s ex-wife. now we have that in context. that what jared kushner was being warned about was a larger scale threat that he was being targeted by sophisticated foreign intelligence operations. now it s clear both in the wall street journal reporting last week and in this new reporting from the new yorker that jared kushner was unphased by these warnings he was getting. he thinks there was nothing to worry about. why are these people concerned? i am 36 years old. i can handle myself. i imagine him saying. well, now we know at least in part why counter intelligence officials might have been so concerned about mr. kushner and it s because of the intelligence intercepts they reportedly have about jared kushner.
