Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner engaged in a “level of corruption that we’ve just never seen” when talking about his firm’s recent investments overseas.
Rhodes said that Kushner engaged in corruption when asked about The New York Times’s recent reporting that detailed that 99 percent of his investment fund’s money came from foreign sources.
“I mean, look, this is not subtle corruption that we’re looking at,” Rhodes told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner during his Wednesday appearance on “Alex Wagner Tonight.”.
“This is a guy, Jared Kushner, who had no expertise, no qualification whatsoever to be in the White House while he was there.
Kushner defended himself and his firm’s action regarding conflicts-of-interest allegations when asked by the Times.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said back in August that Kushner “crossed the line of ethics” by accepting a $2 billion investment.
“This is a level of corruption that we’ve just never seen, and it’s hiding in plain sight.”. »
