Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Mad.) wrote that Jared Kushner failed to respond to an inquiry into whether he “improperly traded” on his government work to benefit financial interests. The letter also requested Kushner to identify foreign investors in his company.

published online Saturday and other reports that he said raised disturbing questions about Kushner’s relationship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

While Kushner’s company turned over nearly 2,000 pages in response, Raskin revealed in Tuesday’s letter that they mostly amounted to publicly available documents that do “not substantively relate to the Saudi government’s investment in the firm.” Raskin wrote that when the committee followed up in October, the company’s legal officer did not respond.With Republicans now in control of the House, Raskin this week asked the committee’s chairman, Rep. James Comer , to co-sign the letter.

Raskin said in an interview Tuesday that while he still hoped Comer would cooperate, “We will definitely work with our partners in the Senate to get all of the information we need in order to conduct a thorough and detailed investigation of all of the conflicts of interests that we need to learn about.”

I thought this was a Babylon Bee headline making fun of the lack of interest in Hunter trading on the Biden name.

More playground games from our awesome officials.

And what about Hunter Biden?

Can't read anything by WaPo without subscribing.. Bezo needs the money.

Trying to deflect from the Biden Crime Family’s actions…..

So the biggest crooks in our country are now going after Kushner?😅

PeterRabbit67 Quelle surprise.

The Washington post is not that credible

ericswalwell Now do HunterBiden and the big guy JoeBiden crooks

Now go after The Pelosi's

BidenCrimeFamilly 🔎

Now do Hunter

good luck with that

Try Nancy too 🤡

Nah. First we need to find out everything about Biden corruption.

WaPoo doing what WaPoo does best. Lying

What state is 'Mad'? Other than all of them.

So now Raskins concerned about someone trading on influence. What changed?

America you can now again see how hypocritical the Republicans are. They condemn Hunter Biden for getting a few million dollars from Ukraine but they praise Kushner for getting $2 billion dollars from Saudi Arabia. Why don't these GOP lying charlatans be as concerned with Kushner

Oh man, stop bothering the Saudis.🙄

Let me answer that for you. No answer is forthcoming from criminal Jared. He is currently hiding in Floriduh with his multiple Chinese patents wife.

Hope a letter went to Mnuchin, he got $1B

This is a consortium of (if you really want to know how I feel keep reading) warning. A consortium of thieves. We as the Native American people should be living as the princes of Arabia.The resources stolen from the Native Americans appears to have been good to them. Shame on you

Glacier and 1917, he was able to cover

The Crafty Saudis know the way to American heart passes through a Zionist Door.

so stop asking politely

Kushner is under no requirement to give Raskin shit.

The Saudis made that investment after President Trump left office. This is just another example of government officials weaponizing our own government against private citizens.

Still lying about Hunter's lap top being Russian disinformation? What did/does Hunter trade on to get deals with Chinese Banks?

ericswalwell Jamie Raskin is a Red and so is his dad.

Jamie Raskin should also inquire into Hunter Biden’s deals with foreign entities and all the Biden business dealings with Ukraine. What does Ukraine have over the Biden’s and why are we sending billions to them?

The Democrats are projected to spend 19 trillion more dollars in the next decade which is unsustainable why are they so adamant about tearing this country down?

jaime. dont forget about the millions he and ivanka made while in the WH. how did they make that money?

Isn't Raskin in the minority so his questions will go nowhere.

Trump Trump Trump Russia Russia Russia lol you guys are something LOL

Love Jamie. And he expects Jared the genius to lie.

The heat on Biden is getting close, I see.

emptywheel Maybe you could ask Jamie Gorelick to help you out with this? She is, after all, the “fixer” lawyer who managed to get Jared & Ivanka past the critical national security barriers that should have prevented this in the first place. Or is she too busy with January6thCmte cover?

Based upon?

Harvard1988 Better late than never? This was pretty obvious 5 yrs ago.

Okay... was it 'asked' or 'required' as the distinction is a big deal? You 'ask' me about something, well, I might not tell you. Mostly because I don't have to. If you order me to cough up my information, that's different.

UROCKlive1 Make him an offer he can’t refuse … Send him a ..bone-saw…🤔🥸

All he has to do is not cooperate like hunter

And is he registered as a foreign agent

This is a feeble attempt to distract attention away from the investigation in progress. These allegations were previously investigated, and no evidence was found to prove it.

What about hunter Biden business, is it wrong for Washington post to investigate him ?

Funny how they never investigate members of their own party. Pelosi was queen of insider trading.

I though he died

Who made the most money selling influence - Jared, Hunter, Joe’s brother ?

Wonder if he gave 10% to his Big Guy like Hunter did? How many investigations does that make for Trump and his family compared to how many they've investigated on the BIDEN CRIME FAMILY? They know Hunter's goose is cooked so now they're after Jared. Dems are shady af

Think it’s obvious.. just take action

UROCKlive1 Yes. This should be simple enough for Jared to do.

This is a game of tip for tat that I don't think they want to play right now

I think you have posted the most honest headline ever by listing Jamie Raskin as Democrat Mad.

ericswalwell Keep up the pressure. The tax payers deserve to know.

He already has to disclose his investors WaPo clown show 🤣😭🤡

Jamie you have cancer you should focus on that. Try to so mean. Remove hate from heart.

Jamie you have cancer you should focus on that. Try to so mean. Remove hate from heart.

How much shit can a democrat make up

Jared Kushner has absolutely no obligation to answer any letters from Jamie Raskin whatsoever. Raskin is a buffoon for even bringing this issue to light and the same goes foe Wapo for going this farcical notion airtime.

Oh so NOW you guys are concerned about govt. corruption LOL Rank hypocrites hahaha

This has all the classic hallmarks of russian disinformation🤣🤣🤣 We should just ignore this and smear anyone spreading this story as russian tools! LOL

RepRaskin is the intelligent, strong and tenacious Congressman every citizen is lucky to have and GOP member wishes they appeared to be

WE are more worried about the man in the Oval office, that has more compassion to Ukraine (paying off), than he does Ohioans…

Well, cant stop a man from making a buck. At least he's not Hunter Biden

Subpoena him. And when he refuses to comply, arrest him. Asking these people to comply is a waste of time. They know you don’t have the balls to really go after them . It’s just empty platitudes

Maybe elonmusk can shed some light on the subject RepRaskin?

🤣🤣🤣Just cannot give it up. Eh? Desperation indeed...

Jamie Raskin should also ask Kushner to divulge what other Private Equity firms, Fund of Funds, and Public/Private Trusts have an vested interest in his new Affinity Partners capital structure.

Democrats are illegitimate. They conspired against the US government to fix the 2020 election. We have rules against that.

Part of USA sold at a discounted price of $2 billion dollars to the Saudi Jared Other parts were sold to highest bidders like China. Huge $$$ transactions bought our internal agents n bribemoney went to GOP politicians. Trump Anyone in this country can be bought.

So, Kushner orchestrates the Abraham Accords, and Rep. Raskin has 'take God out of the pledge of allegiance, and make it under the constitution' as his claim to fame.

Look how slimey their smiles are lmao. Literally just laughing at us

MarkWarner timkaine GerryConnolly follow the money and hold them accountable.

Dubya & His Dad also did under-the-table business with the Saudis before & after 9-11 'And Granddad 'F. Prescott Bush did business with the Nazis during WW11, etc... Such doesn't make this BS Right, 'Does it
