ThisWeek Host George Stephanopoulos forced Oversight Committee Chair James Comer to acknowledge that Trump’s son-in-law Kushner should be a concern. After all, Kushner worked in the White House. Hunter Biden did not.
Stephanopoulos asked Comer the right question.
George Stephanopoulos put James Comer on the spot. He referenced a Washington Post article that detailed Jared Kushner’s ties to the Saudis.
“A $2 billion investment in Kushner’s funds from the Saudis,” Stephanopoulos said. “We know that President — former President Trump has also received funds related to the Saudi golf tour. Senator Ron Wyden said these financial entanglements deserve investigation. Will you be investigating that as well?”
Comer reluctantly said everything was on the table. But Stephanopoulos wanted more.
“And so, but to be clear,” George said. “You believe that — that this should apply to Kushner and Trump as well as the Bidens at this point?”
“I believe that when we talk about passing legislation to set a line as to where you can be with relatives of high-ranking government officials,” Comer said. “With respect to doing business with adversaries overseas, then it would apply to everyone. We need to fix this before it gets worse in the next administration.”
After some additional bloviation, Stephanopoulos presented an inconvenient truth.
“Congressman, thank you,” Stephanopoulos said. “I think we only learned of the $2 billion Saudi investment from The Washington Post this morning, at least the details of it. “But thanks for your time this morning.”
In other words, his committee had nothing to do with exposing likely ill-doings by Jared Kushner.
