Mueller Investigating Whether Kushner Business Ties Influenced Admin Policy

Kushner business ties being probed by Special Counsel investigators. 

It is definitely Jared Kushner’s turn in the hot seat.

According to a new report by NBC News, Special Counsel Mueller is now questioning witnesses whether Jared Kushner’s business ties have influenced Trump administration policy.

“Federal investigators are scrutinizing whether any of Jared Kushner’s business discussions with foreigners during the presidential transition later shaped White House policies in ways designed to either benefit or retaliate against those he spoke with, according to witnesses and other people familiar with the investigation,” NBC reported.

The revelation that Mueller is focusing in on Kushner’s business ties is the latest in a series of troubling news about Kushner over the last few weeks.

The NBC report went on to report that “Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has asked witnesses about Kushner’s efforts to secure financing for his family’s real estate properties, focusing specifically on his discussions during the transition with individuals from Qatar and Turkey, as well as Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates.”
