House Democrats Ramp Up Investigation Into Jared Kushner's Deals As Clock Runs Out

Democrats on two different House panels have reportedly ramped up their investigations into Jared Kushner's business deals that appeared to have coincided with his time in the Trump Administration. This news comes as Democrats have literally only days left in power before the Republicans retake control of the House and squash any active investigations, such as the Kushner ones. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Democrats in the House of Representatives, for some reason announced this week that they have ramped up their investigation into Jared Kushner and the business deals that he secured for his family's businesses, while also serving in the Trump White House. Now, as we all know, come January 3rd, a brand new Congress gets sworn in and it's going to be a Congress that is run by Republicans, which literally means the Democrats have days left to investigate Jared Kushner's possible influence Ping from his time in the Trump administration days. And with days remaining, they're like, oh, we've ramped it up. We're we're really gonna take a good hard, you don't have time. Like, time is up. Why are you even still working on it at this point? Because there's no way in hell cuz you just sent out letters this week requesting info. You can't do anything with it. Here's the thing, Jared Kushner, while he was working with the Trump administration, completely divested, allegedly from the Kushner company, he had nothing to do with it. He, he got rid of all of his holdings, but his company also took out a, a massive loan to pay for the property. 60 66 fifth Avenue.

Then when they were on the verge of defaulting because they couldn't pay that, they got in a ton of money from allegedly a Canadian bank. What this house panel of Democrats is trying to find out, was there actual Middle Eastern money that came in that you're trying to hide? And did the money come in due to Kushner's influence where Kushner successfully got a block aid of Qatar removed? Like he spent a lot of time in Qatar, there was a blockade with several other Middle Eastern countries refusing to do business with them. They said Qatar is a state sponsor of terrorism. The United States said, mu said as much, uh, Kushner comes back from Qatar tells Donald Trump, Hey, we gotta, we gotta end this blockade. We gotta help Qatar, uh, with their economy. Trump goes to the other countries, eventually the blockade gets lifted.

So was there Qatari money that helped bail out this, this building that they purchased? That's what they wanna find out. And uh, kind of seems like you should have been asking these questions in January of 2021 when you took power, not December of 2022, when there's literally just days left in your current session before the Republicans take over and kill this investigation. We're not going to get these answers. Like this is the real presidential family, you know, nepotism, influence, pedaling scheme that we should be focused on, not Hunter Biden in his stupid laptop. This kind of seems like a big deal. And like I said, we will never get the answers to this because the Democrats waited and only decided to ramp up the investigation when they're looking at the calendar and realizing, holy crap, we got like a week and a half till Christmas. Maybe we ought to do something about this a too little too late, right? And that is infuriating because this thing stinks from the top to the bottom. But we'll never know if corruption did take place cuz the Democrats sat too long.
