interests. here is how that might have happened, how it might have played out. this is what s being investigated. this building here is 605th avenue, it used to be 666 fifth avenue, before the devilish address was changed according to it was bought by the kushner family in 2007 not before the jury was in charge of the company while his father was in jail for tax evasion and witness tampering. jarred paid a whopping 1.8 billion dollars. a record no one had ever paid. and no one had ever paid that much for the building that much. it was called a huge and reckless risk by the new york times. that turned out to be totally true. once the real estate market crashed, the building was underwater financially. the commissioners struggled and struggled for nearly a decade to get out from under the massive debt. when one refinancing deal proved not to be enough, that kushner company sought help from the saudi government, they also turned to the chinese
you say, i show the kushner s financial problems as this ticking time bomb against, i sort of write the chapters in parallel, you have the ticking time bomb of this building and of a loan that was due and what jarred was doing in the middle east side by side. i could always see that there were lots of parallels. rex tillerson, you know, was rightly furious that jared kushner appeared to be conducting foreign policy that was very dangerous. he s not just conducting foreign policy because he disagrees with tillerson. he s doing allegedly for financial gain. ryan, it s not just the qatari. kushner gets two billion dollars from the saudis after leaving office for his immense investment fund. advisers are questioning wondering why kushner is getting this money, according to the new york times. you ve reported in the past on the close ties between kushner and mbs. what is going on there?
to benefit his own company is still something that needs to be investigated. but we do know, and i think vicky s reporting has borne this out as well as my own, that the qatari s feel like it did. and they deeply regretted not making the payoff. sources, qatari sources told me later if we had known the cost we would be blockaded as a result, that would ve made us look a little differently at this investment. lou some money all we have to do is invest in the kushner. vicky, i m not one of these people who downplays hunter biden s grifting. he s clearly someone who has tried to influence, make many of his last name and connections to the white house. when you put hunter biden in burisma, ukraine, next to jared kushner and other jerry kushner and saudi arabia, and china, and japan, how do they stack up side by side, political scandal wise? and there is no comparison. jared kushner was the senior
hunter never worked in the white house. but trump s son-in-law, jared, did. kushner was granted multiple job titles and responsibilities. he was supposed to solve america s opioid crisis. he was tasked with setting up a shadow private sector to covid task force. he was put in charge of brokering peace in the middle east, something for which he had zero experience. but, hate, he said he read 25 books. 25 books by himself. he failed that almost all the tasks he was given. he made sure he cashed out. this week, we learned democrats in the senate and the house are finally renewing their investigations into one potential kushner conflict of interest. and it will shock you. no joke. it s villainy that, if true, is straight out of a hollywood movie. i m talking doctor evil in austin powers. let me explain. in short, the investigation seeks to find out if jared kushner sought to interfere or influence the trump administration s foreign policy to grow his own business
family company, struggles to cover to make his big pitch for a bailout. father kushner wants just under one billion dollars. the qatari s turned him down. they were citing dubious business logic, for the new yorker. they have money but they don t think they will make their money back. but charles tells the washington post he turned them down because he did not want to create a conflict of interest for his. and why did he travel all the way to doha just to meet with the qatari? he said he did it out of respect but it s an awfully long way to go to rack up flyer miles. jerry kushner traveled to saudi arabia for trump s first foreign trip to saudi arabia. the official schedule is a private dinner that jared kushner and steve bannon attend with top saudi and uae leaders on the agenda at that dinner, according to congressional staffers who spoke to the guardian, the plan by the saudis and the uae to impose a blockade on the other. it would be strange for the
