  Mark, A month ago, CREW called out Jared Kushner’s appointment as special envoy for peace, noting it meant he would need to file a financial disclosure to resolve potential conflicts of interest. CREW called on him to proactively divest from Affinity Partners, Kushner’s firm, which receives $25 million per year in fees from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund for its existing investment in his firm. And guess what? He still hasn’t divested. In fact, Kushner has reportedly continued to solicit funds from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar for Affinity Partners while acting as “Special Envoy for Peace.” We sent a letter to the White House counsel demanding that Kushner comply with the law by filing mandated disclosures within 30 days of his appointment, which passed on March 21st. Almost three weeks later, Kushner has not done so. Unless he got an extension from the White House ethics official, that would put him in violation of the Ethics in Government Act. Jared Kushner has apparently missed the 30-day disclosure deadline. Now, CREW is watching to see how long he'll continue to skirt transparency—and we’re demanding accountability. Help us continue to apply the pressure and join us in the fight for an ethical government by donating today → Donate → Given Kushner’s role in convincing Trump to attack Iran—just as the Saudi government wanted—the necessity of disclosure and divestment is not only obvious but urgent. The New York Times even reported yesterday that Jared Kushner was in the situation room for a key meeting in the lead-up to the war. Mark, the American people deserve clear assurances that Kushner will be held accountable to the law and work to advance their interests—not his own. That means filing a financial disclosure and divesting from Affinity and any other conflicting assets. So far, Kushner appears to be planning to do the opposite. That’s why we need to spread the word about his failure to meet legal obligations and keep up the pressure. Mark, Americans need answers and we cannot let this stand. The president's son-in-law is not exempt from ethics law. We’ll keep pushing Kushner to disclose his interests and divest as needed for as long as it takes.
