NYT: Jared Kushner Got Massive Loans After White House Meetings with Executives

HeadlineMar 01, 2018

The White House said Wednesday that President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will retain his role as senior adviser, after he was reportedly stripped of interim security clearance allowing him to view top-secret documents. Kushner failed to report over 100 foreign contacts on his initial application for permanent security clearance, which he has since revised three times. Meanwhile, The New York Times reports Kushner’s real estate company received multimillion-dollar loans after he met with powerful financial executives at the White House. One loan, for $184 million, came from Apollo Global Management months after Kushner met with the company’s co-founder, Joshua Harris, and reportedly discussed giving him a job in the Trump administration. Another loan, for $325 million, came from Citigroup shortly after Kushner met the bank’s chief executive, Michael Corbat, at the White House.
