White House Looking Into Kushner Co. Loans

Multimillion-dollar loans were reportedly made to Kushner’s family business after he met with execs from those firms at the White House.

White House attorneys are looking into two multimillion-dollar loans to top adviser Jared Kushner’s family business for possible ethical or criminal violations, according to the Office of Government Ethics. The two loans, from Apollo Global management and Citigroup, were reportedly made to the Kushner Companies after Kushner met with top executives from both firms at the White House. The Apollo loan was worth $184 million, while the Citigroup loan was for $325 million. “I have discussed this matter with the White House Counsel’s Office in order to ensure that they have begun the process of ascertaining the facts necessary to determine whether any law or regulation has been violated,” David Apol, the acting director of the Office of Government Ethics, wrote in a letter to Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL).
