It sounds like Jared is basically owned by Saudi Arabia at this point. But then, he did a lot to earn this kind of loyalty when he was in a position to do so.By Laura Clawson April 12, 2022
After his father-in-law left the White House, Jared Kushner got a $2 billion golden parachutefrom the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Kushner predictably started a private equity firm despite his lack of experience in private equity, and went to the main Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), asking for an investment.
The professionals in charge of screening possible investments for the PIF raised a series of objections only to be overruled days later by the funds board, which is led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, with whom Kushner became close during his time as a senior White House adviser.

(32,483 posts)it is for future favors if Trump gets back in power. I'm sure that Jared will find a way to funnel some of the 2 billion into Trump's 2024 campaign.

I wonder how much he "played" the Committee?
