Jared Kushner still needs to disclose and divest from his conflicts of interest

Mark,
It’s been more than 100 days since Special Envoy for Peace and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner was supposed to disclose and divest from his conflicts of interest.
He still hasn’t done so.
In fact, he’s reportedly continued to solicit funds from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar for his firm, Affinity Partners, while acting as “Special Envoy for Peace.” He’s even met with JD Vance and the Prime Minister of Qatar and is negotiating with Iran.
This is not okay, Mark.
Given Kushner’s significant power to set foreign policy—including related to the war in Iran—the public urgently needs clarity on his role and his financial entanglements.
CREW sent a letter to the White House counsel in March demanding that Kushner comply with the law by filing the mandated disclosures within 30 days of his appointment. That deadline came and went, but CREW is not backing down.So long as Kushner fails to file a public financial disclosure and divest from any conflicting assets, the public cannot trust that he is working in their best interest.
In the first Trump administration, Kushner made hundreds of millions of dollars while serving as a special advisor. After leaving government service, he wasted no time leveraging his government job for personal gain, securing billions of dollars for his investment firm from the very governments he had worked closely with in his official capacity.
For nearly five decades, senior executive branch officials and all presidential appointees have been required to file public financial disclosure statements.
