Wyden leads Senate Democrats’ investigation into Jared Kushner’s private equity firm

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is leading a Senate investigation into Jared Kushner’s Saudi-backed private equity firm as the former president’s son-in-law faces allegations he profited off his proximity to the White House.

Kushner created Affinity Partners after he left his role as senior adviser to his father-in-law, former President Donald Trump. In April 2022, Kushner came under scrutiny after revelations he scored a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince just six months after leaving the White House.
