Lawsuit Targets Kushner’s Foreign Policy Work and Business Ties

An ethics watchdog sued Jared Kushner and the White House, arguing he is acting as a foreign policy envoy without Senate confirmation or required financial disclosures. The group points to his leadership of Affinity Partners, an investment firm largely funded by Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds. The lawsuit seeks a court order barring him from exercising government authority until he complies with those requirements.

Expanded Detail

CREW filed suit Wednesday against Jared Kushner and the White House. It wants a court to find he is serving unlawfully and to stop Cabinet officials and agencies from assisting his diplomatic efforts until he wins Senate confirmation and submits required financial disclosures. The complaint notes his role as founder and CEO of Affinity Partners, a Miami firm managing more than $6 billion, almost all from foreign investors, including Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds.

CREW also cites Kushner’s involvement in Trump-era negotiations involving Israel, Russia, and Ukraine. Early this year, Trump named him a special envoy for peace and placed him on the inaugural Board of Peace. The White House called him a proven dealmaker and said his business activities are separate from volunteer diplomatic work.
