Rep. Jamie Raskin Calls Jared Kushner “Unfit” Over Alleged Foreign Kompromat

An upcoming book by investigative journalist Matthew Cole, excerpted in *Vanity Fair*, alleges that Jared Kushner accessed roughly $2 billion in off-the-books funds linked to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates while serving as a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump. The report further claims the money was used for illicit purposes, including the bribery of a U.S. official and the financing of war crimes.

Kushner responded on X (formerly Twitter) that the allegations are “completely insane” and that the transactions “never happened.” The White House and Kushner’s representatives referenced earlier statements defending his conduct. Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners, did not immediately comment; the Saudi Public Investment Fund is identified as the firm’s largest investor.

Raskin’s letter frames the alleged foreign funding as a conflict of interest that could compromise U.S. diplomatic efforts, especially given Kushner’s recent role as a peace envoy in 2025. Kushner’s public rebuttal rejects the existence of any such transactions and characterizes the reporting as fabricated. MS NOW, which first reported the letter, has not independently verified the *Vanity Fair* claims.
