Jared Kushner Flames Out
A White House official said the meeting was under the auspices of the presidential transition,
while the Russians said Mr. Kushner was acting in his capacity as head of Kushner Companies.
Mr. Kushner said his failure to disclose the Trump Tower meeting, the Gorkov meeting
and scores of other foreign contacts as part of his application for security clearance was an error.
Mr. Kushner attended the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and Kremlin-linked Russians who promised “dirt” on Hillary Clinton.
This week, The Times reported that Kushner Companies received hundreds of millions of dollars in loans through American companies, including Citigroup
and the private equity firm Apollo Global Management, after their top executives met with Mr. Kushner in the White House.
The Kushner family’s friendship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel
and the Kushner Companies’ extensive business ties to Israel fueled skepticism among Palestinian leaders.
