As of April 2026, Jared Kushner is facing a “sweeping” congressional investigation led by Ranking Member Raskin regarding potential conflicts of interest, bribery, and violation of foreign agent laws. The inquiry focuses on his investment firm, Affinity Partners, receiving billions from Saudi and Emirati sources while he engages in diplomatic roles during a second Trump term.
