Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, has strongly criticized a newly published report that alleged he maintained secret financial arrangements and undisclosed foreign bank accounts involving Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Kushner's remarks followed the publication of an excerpt from an upcoming book in Vanity Fair. Writing on social media, Kushner dismissed the allegations as completely insane and false, noting that every claim had been denied on the record and that the author failed to provide supporting proof such as bank statements, wire records, or transaction dates.
He emphasized that during the period in question, he was one of the most heavily scrutinized figures globally, undergoing intensive media scrutiny, congressional inquiries, and a special counsel investigation. Kushner stated that he cooperated voluntarily with more than 30 hours of testimony and that none of the newly raised allegations ever surfaced previously.
According to the published report, the claims involve secret bank accounts where Kushner was allegedly a signatory, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign transfers and political deals. The article cited assertions from Dutch investigators who reportedly monitored phone data from 2018 after gaining access through a flipped hacker, suggesting funds were moved via charities and intermediary accounts involving the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
The report also suggested that Kushner may have violated U.S. law by failing to disclose financial activities and alleged that regional leaders paid for influence within the U.S. government. Kushner denounced these assertions as a mixture of fantasy, fiction, and advocacy presented under the guise of investigative journalism.
This latest controversy follows other recent scrutiny, including a congressional inquiry initiated by House Oversight Committee members regarding private equity investments tied to companies supplying military equipment to Israel. Kushner has previously rejected those claims, maintaining that his diplomatic and economic efforts in the Middle East were entirely separate from his private business interests.
