Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reported between $172 million and $640 million in outside income while working in the White House, according to an analysis of financial disclosures by CREW.

All told, Ivanka made more than $13 million from the hotel since 2017, dropping from about $4 million a year between 2017 and 2019 to about $1.5 million last year, at least in part due to the pandemic.

Having previously claimed it to be worth between $5 million and $25 million, in her final disclosure she listed it as only worth $100,000 to $250,000.

The hotel was far from Ivanka Trump’s only controversial source of income while working in the White House.

In all, CREW found at least 28 foreign trademarks approved for Ivanka Trump while in the White House.

When Trump and Kushner entered the administration, Kushner’s stake in Cadre was valued between $5 million and $25 million.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump should never have been allowed to work in the White House. »

Hardly a week after submitting a legal brief for Trump’s looming Senate impeachment trial that misspelled the words “United States,” they made exactly the same blunder again on Monday in the pre-trial brief laying out their defense.
