Kushner’s associates gave loans to his family businesses after White House meetings: report Business owners reportedly doled out loans to the real estate ventures run by the family of White House adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner. The New York Times on Wednesday reported that Apollo Global Management, a private equity firm, and Citigroup both made large loans out to Kushner Companies, the adviser’s family real estate business, in 2017. Both payments happened after executives from the businesses met repeatedly with Kushner in the White House. Apollo’s loan totaled $184 million and went towards financing a skyscraper in Chicago, while Citigroup lent Kushner Companies $325 million to fund office buildings in Brooklyn. Apollo founder Joshua Harris was advising White House officials on infrastructure policy and was reportedly in talks for a job in the Trump administration before making the large loan. Don Fox, a former military lawyer and acting director of the Office of Government Ethics, told the Times that the payments to Kushner Companies prove “exactly why senior government officials, for as long back as I have any experience, don’t maintain any active outside business interests.” “The appearance of conflicts of interest is simply too great,” Fox said.
If this is true, it is f..n disgusting. You expect something like this in 3rd world countries and not in white house.
Is Kushner that stupid? They all should better. I think it's fake news, and the authors should be prosecuted.
First we will note that you are so embarrassed by the source of this story being totally unreliable that you don't even want to post a link to the story in your post. The story is sourced from Raw Story, a well known left wing propaganda website. https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/ku...loans-businesses-white-house-meetings-report/ Secondly, what evidence do you or anyone have that Kushner carried out private business in the White House. If you are going to make these type of assertions then you better have good sources as demonstrated proof of the actual conversations held within the White House were not on appropriate government policy topics.
The article is from The New York Times , and the link is there. Go and read all the details , names , amounts , when and where they met . If the article was fake , Kushner and his lawyers would have filed their lawsuits long ago. Everyone knows his business is in deep debt.
Fascinating how effectively the right can poison a person or paper etc. and mark them as tainted/unreliable. Everyone knows Kushner is exactly the guy who would do this. This and 1000 times more. They are lining their pockets at unimagined levels. What else matters? Donny is unstable as hell, if they get away with a five fold increase in their oligarchic empires (Kushners) what does a little scandal matter. Anything that is clawed back will pale in comparison with profits. Money makes money. ah who cares. PMI in 17 minutes (10 ET). Trump speaks at 11. Work..
The New York Times article is very different than the Raw Story article. All of the text you posted in the first post on this thread are from the Raw Story article. Even your title of the thread, "Kushner carried out private business from White House offices", makes the direct implication that Kushner illegally ran his business from the White House -- which the NYT article does not support.
The NYT is titled with: "Kushner’s Family Business Received Loans After White House Meetings Apollo, the private equity firm, and Citigroup made large loans last year to the family real estate business of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s senior adviser." He is not running an eBay business based in the WH but he is apparently abusing it.
And yet the title of this thread is... Kushner carried out private business from White House offices Something that is not supported in the NYT article.
