Jared Kushner Is Showing ‘A Level Of Corruption We’ve Never Seen,’ Says Top Obama Foreign Policy Adviser

Ben Rhodes, the former Deputy National Security Adviser to President Barack Obama, has raised concerns about Jared Kushner’s alleged corruption in his $3 billion investment fund, predominantly financed by foreign sources.

Kushner’s firm received a $2 billion investment from a Saudi sovereign wealth fund shortly after he departed from the White House, serving as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, Donald Trump.

During an interview with MSNBC’s Alex Wagner, Rhodes expressed his unease, “This is just putting a price tag on American foreign policy… This is a level of corruption that we’ve just never seen, and it’s hiding in plain sight.”

Earlier in the program, Wagner highlighted that Kushner’s firm had been involved with foreign interests and cited its engagements in hotel developments in Serbia and Albania. She inquired about the potential implications of Kushner’s “entanglement” with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Trump’s foreign policy agenda as he seeks to reclaim the presidency.

Rhodes emphasized, “This is not subtle corruption that we’re looking at. This is a guy, Jared Kushner, who had no expertise, no qualification whatsoever to be in the White House.” 

“The Saudis didn’t make a $2 billion investment because they trusted in Jared Kushner’s investment expertise,” Rhodes added. “They’re making an investment on what they think he can do for them if there is a second Trump term.”

Rhodes further compared Kushner’s situation to the Republican Party’s impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and corruption allegations surrounding his son, Hunter Biden. “Here we have the president’s son-in-law — who worked in the White House, unlike Hunter Biden — who’s collected $2 billion on the back end of his service. And now he’s got his father-in-law running for president of the United States. This is not only unusual, this is unprecedented.”

The allegations of corruption surrounding Kushner’s foreign investments raise significant concerns about the potential influence on American foreign policy and the ethical implications of such financial entanglements.

Kushner has said he won’t work in a future Trump White House, but his name is already being floated as a potential secretary of state.
