Jared Kushner’s Company Filed Falsified Financial Documents: Report
The first son-in-law’s financial troubles are snowballing.
Jared Kushner’s business, The Kushner Companies, falsified financial documents in New York City, according to a new AP report.
The report notes that Kushner Companies “declaring it had zero rent-regulated tenants in dozens of buildings it owned across the city when, in fact, it had hundreds.”
The falsified documents allowed Kushner’s business to harass tenants that have rent-controlled apartments and even push tenants out of their homes which allowed Kushner Companies to sell their buildings with higher rents.
According to the AP, Kushner Companies filed “at least 80 false applications for construction permits in 34 buildings across New York City from 2013 to 2016.”
Had the company filed the paperwork properly, they would have faced a stricter construction regulatory process which would have sought to protect rent-controlled tenants in Kushner’s buildings.
