Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner Reaped Stunning Amount Of Outside Income At White House

Huffington Post
By Lee Moran

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner tried to portray themselves as selfless public servants making financial sacrifices when they declined to take public paychecks while serving as White House advisers to former President Donald Trump.

But the couple ― who last year reportedly spent $30 million on undeveloped property on a Florida island ― nevertheless raked in between $172 million and $640 million in outside income from their myriad business interests during their four years in the Trump administration, according to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s analysis of financial disclosures released on Monday.

The exact earnings of the ex-president’s daughter and son-in-law are difficult to determine because “the income is sometimes in reported in broad ranges” and covered several months before they joined the White House, according to the group.

But even at the lower end of the estimated scale, the couple’s income works out to around $43 million per year ― or $21.5 million each.

from states, hospitals and so forth. So-called federal agents took the stuff, but where did it end up?

His company and family was going to lose close to $1B on that deal through foreclosure and bankruptcy. The saudis stepped in and bought it waaaaay above market value.

It's probably still just sitting there unfinished.

Don't have to waste too much time googling to find out what they got in return.
