Since President Joe Biden first announced his candidacy, Donald Trump and his hapless followers have invented numerous conspiracy theories regarding Biden’s son, Hunter, and allegations that he profited handsomely using his ties to the WH as the vice president’s son. There is no proof of this, but those same Republicans have not batted an eye over the growing proof that Jared Kushner profited off his connection with the president while working in the White House while conducting business with Saudi Arabia.
The House is investigating whether Jared Kushner traded on his government position to land a $2 billion investment in his new private equity firm from a prominent Saudi Arabian wealth fund, lawmakers said Thursday. https://t.co/uL45z1dVV0

Jared Kushner flew multiple times to Saudi Arabia while working in the White House and an investment firm in the country gave him two billion dollars for his new private equity firm. It Kushner is found to have conducted that business while working in the White House, it will lead to any number of responses by Congress and the Senate.
According to The New York Times:
‘During his time in government, Mr. Kushner developed a close rapport with Prince Mohammed, even as the prince faced criticism over his human rights record and Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen. Later, when the planned $2 billion investment in Mr. Kushner’s private equity firm encountered skepticism from Public Investment Fund officials, a fund board led by Prince Mohammed voted to approve it anyway.’
Twitter had a lot to say about Kushner and the allegations that he illegally profited off his position at the White House, with most saying they are largely not surprised. Read some of their comments below:
