Grassley calls for investigation into Chinese promotion of Kushner family company deal
By Brandon Carter - 05/29/17 10:05 AM EDT


Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is calling for an investigation into “potentially fraudulent statements and misrepresentations” made by a Chinese company promoting investments in property partly managed by White House adviser Jared Kushner's family's company.

Reuters noted that Grassley cited one of its reports in a May 25 letter to the Department of Homeland Security and the Securities and Exchange Commission calling for the probe.

The Republican senator is requesting a review of claims made by Chinese firm Qiaowai in the marketing of the One Journal Square project in Jersey City, N.J. to potential Chinese investors.

“Given all of these concerns, a closer look at Qiaowai Group and the U.S. Immigration Fund are clearly warranted, as reports suggest both companies have long employed questionable practices,” Grassley wrote.

Qiaowai and Kushner Companies are looking for investors to help finance a pair of luxury apartment buildings as part of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program. That program offers visas in exchange for a $500,000 investment in a U.S. business.

1. Calling for an investigation to which department?

Grassley may squawk a lot...to sound good...like Graham. But what is this investigation to be? FBI, judicial committees', or ethics committee.

A mirage to make him appear as if he cares.....

4. So agree,

this is a diversion to take the heat off Trump. Next will be Hatch with so cock-a-mamy POS investigation.

5. The dogs are starting to chase false sticks in the hope that

Someone else will get blamed for the dead chickens that are about to get tied to their necks. If this were anything but a distraction, we would likely have heard about it already from somewhere, methinks.

2. Just the Chinese?

There's is half planet of the countries we need to investigate.

3. How about Ivanka's Chinese deal?

That was just blatant graft.

6. Bannon will win out over Kushner. The GOP will throw him to the wolves, making Kushner the fall guy.

.

Edited, because Kusher is no patsy. He's in deep. The GOP will make him take the fall.

Everything will be his fault, from soup to nuts.

7. Yep!
