Ivanka’s husband, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner is unsurprisingly wrapped up in yet another series of new real estate deals with foreign entities — this time in partnership with a former Fox News contributor who wants to be the next Secretary of State — and government accountability experts have had enough, finally calling him out on what they fear to be a serious level of corruption, according to a new report.
It appears that the former president and Republican 2024 frontrunner’s son-in-law is slated to close massive deals in both Albania and Serbia — deals that, wouldn’t you know, seem to have been made possible by his White House connections and a convenient $2 billion from the Saudis, according to breaking new reporting from the New York Times.
Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, spoke with the Times and said, “This particular investment plan seems to involve the worst of every corrupt tendency of the Trump administration and Trump family.”
Stating the glaringly obvious, he added, “At this point in the election cycle, Jared Kushner should freeze any new investment plans.”

According to the Times report, Kushner, who worked as a senior advisor in his father-in-law’s White House, claimed to be working with Richard Grenell, Trump’s onetime national intelligence director.
An inside source spoke with the newspaper and said that Grenell has told friends and confidants that he has aspirations to become Donald Trump’s next Secretary of State. When he spoke with the Times, Grenell would not confirm the source’s claim but stated that he has not made a decision on whether or not he would join Trump’s administration if he makes a successful comeback to the White House in 2024.
Both Kushner projects reportedly feature a proposed luxury tourist spot on an island off the coast of Albania and an apartment complex in Belgrade.
Kushner infamously received a $2 billion payment for his investment firm, Affinity Partners, from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
An official with Affinity Partners now tells the Times that it has not yet been decided whether or not that same Suadi funding will play a role in Kushner’s Balkan projects, which Kushner and officials claim are still not yet set in stone.
“We have not finalized these deals, so they might not happen,” Kushner told the New York Times, “but we have been working hard and are pretty close.”
