Billions in Secret Foreign Funds? Jared Kushner Fires Back at Explosive New Book Allegations

 

Kushner Rejects Book's Allegations of Foreign Influence and Secret Funds

Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of President Trump and a former senior White House adviser, has strongly denied allegations contained in an upcoming book that claims he was connected to secret foreign funding arrangements and compromised by international intelligence operations.

The accusations appear in a forthcoming book by journalist Matthew Cole, titled Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed's Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East. According to excerpts released this week, the book alleges that foreign leaders in the Middle East directed billions of dollars into accounts purportedly linked to efforts aimed at influencing American foreign policy.

The claims center on Kushner's role during the first Trump administration, when he played a significant part in Middle East diplomacy and negotiations involving Israel, Gulf nations, and other international partners.

Kushner dismissed the allegations outright, calling them "completely insane" and stating that the events described never occurred. His legal team also condemned the accusations, describing them as false and defamatory while indicating that legal action is being considered.

One of the book's most controversial assertions involves an alleged intelligence operation. The excerpt claims that Dutch intelligence officials gained access to information from Kushner's iPhone after Russian operatives had supposedly compromised the device in 2017. According to the account, intelligence personnel were able to monitor activity on the phone while Kushner was serving in the White House.

The book further alleges that investigators observed Kushner accessing financial accounts tied to foreign sources, including funds reportedly originating from institutions in Azerbaijan and contributions allegedly linked to officials from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

According to the author, these accounts were allegedly structured in a way that concealed their true purpose, with some appearing to be associated with government entities or charitable organizations. The book claims the money was intended to support unofficial diplomatic initiatives, including efforts related to Middle East peace negotiations.

Among its most serious accusations, the book alleges that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman directed approximately $1 billion into an account intended for Kushner's personal benefit. The allegation is attributed to an unnamed source said to have knowledge of the funds.

Kushner has categorically denied all of the book's claims and maintains that the allegations are entirely untrue. At present, the accusations remain disputed, and Kushner's representatives continue to challenge the book's account.
