Overview
- Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Jamie Raskin have called for an investigation into Jared Kushner's business dealings with Saudi Arabia.
- The request comes after reports of Kushner's discussions with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on U.S.-Saudi relations involving Israel.
- Kushner's firm, Affinity Partners, received a $2 billion investment from the Saudi Public Investment Fund after he left the White House.
- Lawmakers claim Kushner's activities may violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which requires disclosure of foreign influence.
- Kushner and his allies have dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, especially with the presidential election approaching.
