Showing Original Post only (View all)Kushner donated to Senator Cory Booker's races as far back as 2009... [View all]
https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/05/31/nj-sen-cory-booker-campaign-donations-jared-kushner-ivanka-trump/22118536/"On Monday, the International Business Times reported that Kushner and other affiliated donors "delivered more than $41,000 to Booker's Senate campaign in 2013."

In fact, Politico released a story about one fundraising event for Booker that year which was hosted by Ivanka Trump and held at her Manhattan home.
The International Business Times piece goes on to reveal that, in 2009, Booker's mayoral run was boosted with a $20,000 contribution from Kushner, based on state records."
