Oh My: Kushner's business got Half a Billion in loans after White House meetings: report [View all]

[spanone]

The family real estate business of Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, received more than half a billion dollars in loans from companies whose leaders attended private White House meetings with him last year, the New York Times reported late Wednesday. Apollo Global Management lent the

Kushner Cos. $184 million in November, months after Kushner met with Apollo founder Joshua Harris and discussed a possible job in the White House for him, the
Times reported.

Kushner's company also received a $325 million loan from Citigroup Inc. C, -1.17% last spring, after Kushner met with Citigroup CEO Michael Corbat at the White House, the Times said.

There is no evidence the meetings were about Kushner's finances, the Times reported, but the meetings raise significant ethics questions. Earlier in the day, the Wall Street Journal reported New York's state banking regulator has been looking into ties between Kushner and at least two banks, and on Tuesday his security clearance was downgraded by White House chief of staff John Kelly.
