"The U.S. becomes less safe and more corrupt every day Jared Kushner remains involved in our political system,” – Senator Ron Wyden.[1]
We couldn’t agree with Senator Wyden more, Pamela.
While the president’s son-in-law serves as one of the Trump administration’s lead negotiators in the Middle East, he is simultaneously raising money for his private equity firm — from some of the very same governments he’s negotiating with.
It’s part of a disturbing pattern we’ve seen before. His alarming number of conflicts of interest and the potential for self-dealing raise a host of troubling questions around his ability to act with integrity:
- Are Kushner's private equity firm's financial interests influencing U.S. Middle East negotiations?
- Were the billions that his firm received from the Saudi government, for example, kickbacks on past actions or down payments on future favors?
- Do Kushner’s Gaza beachfront property plans influence his role on the White House-appointed Gaza Executive Board?
Fortunately, we’re not the only ones asking questions. Members of Congress have launched investigations in both the House and Senate. Now, with enough public pressure, we’ll push Congress to shine a light on Kushner’s conflicts of interest and pursue accountability.

This isn’t the first time we’ve shone a light on Jared Kushner’s shady dealings, Pamela.
- We pushed President Biden’s Department of Justice to examine Kushner’s $2 BILLION investment from a fund led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
- Win Without War piled onto Rep. Jamie Raskin and Sen. Ron Wyden’s calls for investigations into whether Trump’s son-in-law violated U.S. laws.
- And we even urged Harvard University to deplatform Kushner over hateful, dehumanizing comments about the Gaza Strip — which he calls “valuable waterfront property,” while seeking to decide the future of Gaza as a member of Trump’s sham Board of Peace.
Now, while Kushner’s Affinity Partners private equity firm solicits billions more from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar’s governments — among the governments he’s negotiating with on behalf of the Trump administration — we’re turning up the heat once more.
U.S. foreign policy shouldn’t be anyone’s private financial motivations. That’s why Sen. Wyden and Rep. Robert Garcia launched investigations into Kushner’s conflicts of interest.
It’s a critical step in the right direction. But we need to go further. To get more lawmakers to take this seriously and reveal the depths of Kushner’s alleged corruption, we — the people — need to amplify these calls for transparency and make our demands too loud to ignore.
Taking on one of the most powerful people in the Trump administration, who has largely operated out of the public eye, is an uphill challenge that requires a strategic, sophisticated, multi-pronged effort. But we’re not afraid to make enemies in high places because we know people like you, Pamela, are with us in rooting out corruption and demanding transparency into the highest echelons of the Trump administration.
Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team
