So, Jared Kushner had quite a week...
In case you had trouble keeping up with all of Jared’s problematic behavior, we made a list. It’s long. Some of the things he did are apparently illegal, some just look really bad:
In case you had trouble keeping up with all of Jared’s problematic behavior, we made a list. It’s long. Some of the things he did are apparently illegal, some just look really bad:
We’ll start with the fact that his “shadow” task force uses private email accounts, apparently violating both the Presidential Records Act and FACA.
We filed a complaint: https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/kushners-shadow-task-force-violate-multiple-laws/

But apparently running the shadow task force has not kept him fully informed. Last night he told Americans that the national stockpile of emergency supplies is “our” stockpile and not for states.
What does that even mean? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/03/jared-kushner-stands-trump-proceeds-offer-very-trumpian-claim-about-stockpiles/

Kushner has also managed to acquire a major conflict of interest: his brother co-founded a company that developed a government website to locate coronavirus tests (the one Trump promised that Google would build). https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/kushner-coronavirus-testing-oscar-company/609139/
Plus, in the stimulus package, there just so happens to be a major tax break for real estate investors.
Jared’s family company could save a lot of money (and so could the Trumps). https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/26/business/coronavirus-real-estate-investors-stimulus.html

Finally, unrelated to coronavirus, Jared Kushner has been running the Trump 2020 reelection campaign out of the West Wing. Not only does that feel wrong, but it’s apparently illegal.
So we filed our second complaint in a week against Jared: https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/jared-kushner-trump-campaign-white-house/

Jared Kushner is dangerously unqualified and conflicted. If this thread didn’t convince you...we don’t know what would.
