Jared Kushner Solicits Funds for His Firm While Working as Mideast EnvoyPresident Trumps son-in-law is trying to raise $5 billion or more from foreign governments and others for his private equity firm.
Jared Kushner, one of the U.S. governments chief negotiators in the Middle East, is trying to raise more money for his private equity firm from governments in the region.
Mr. Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law, has spoken with potential investors in recent weeks about raising $5 billion or more for Affinity Partners, his investment firm, according to five people with knowledge of the talks who were not permitted to speak publicly about the discussions.
As part of the fund-raising effort, Affinitys representatives have already met with Saudi Arabias Public Investment Fund, which invests the proceeds of the kingdoms vast oil reserves, two of the people briefed on the discussions said. PIF is led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has formed close ties with Mr. Kushner and the Trump administration.

(42,093 posts)2. Jared has spent YEARS taking lessons from his father-in-law
I think in the last year or two, they have evened it up. In another couple of years Jared will become the "best grifter of all time," only because Chump is getting old and losing his touch.
FUCK them both!
