Kushner Takes $2 Billion From the Saudis and Negotiates a War That Makes Them Richer

Saudi money, Iran war, Saudi profit – three facts and one Kushner

Three facts.

Fact one: Jared Kushner’s private equity firm, Affinity Partners, has collected $87 million in management fees from the Saudi government’s Public Investment Fund. The Saudis put in $2 billion. They were the first and largest investor. They invested six months after Kushner left the White House. As of last year, the fund had made zero returns for its investors. Zero. The Saudi government kept paying anyway.

Fact two: Jared Kushner is also one of the United States’ lead negotiators on Iran. He’s been in Geneva meeting with Iranian officials. He’s working with Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, and he’s reporting directly to the president. He’s the one talking about “two pathways” for Iran – normalcy or pain.

Fact three: Saudi Arabia benefits more than any country on earth from Iran’s oil going offline.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Kushner takes Saudi money. Kushner negotiates the war. Saudi Arabia profits from the war. I don’t have a political science degree. I just have eyes.

And apparently Congress does too, because on March 19, Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Robert Garcia started an investigation. They sent letters asking how Kushner is raising billions from Middle Eastern governments while simultaneously running Middle East negotiations. And while Kushner was in Geneva talking to Iranian officials, the New York Times reported that his firm was in talks with the Saudi PIF about raising another $5 billion. He was negotiating a war and negotiating his next fundraise. At the same time. In the same part of the world.

The Saudi PIF is controlled by Mohammed bin Salman. MBS. The crown prince who had journalist Jamal Khashoggi murdered in a consulate in 2018. Killed him and cut him up. And Kushner maintained what reporting calls a “strong personal bond” with MBS through all of it. A bond that apparently survives a bone saw.

We have documents on this, by the way.

In April 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was texting Anthony Scaramucci, another Trump insider, offering him meetings with “heads” in Yemen and Saudi contacts. “You will have access unlike others,” Epstein wrote in an iMessage. He wanted to set up a meeting with Saudi contacts in Germany. “If I do you can’t blow it off,” he said. Scaramucci was interested. Epstein told him to coordinate with Pompeo.

This was six months after Khashoggi’s murder. A registered sex offender was setting up meetings between Trump’s people and Saudi leadership while the rest of the world was still in shock about them murdering a journalist. And Epstein’s pitch was literally “I can get you access nobody else has.”

Isn’t that the same thing Kushner is doing? Epstein did it through texts and dinner invitations. Kushner does it through a $2 billion investment fund and a title on a presidential brief. The delivery mechanism got fancier. The basic arrangement didn’t change. Take money from a foreign government. Get close to that government’s leaders. Then put yourself at the center of a conflict where your investor makes money.

Affinity Partners’ investors can renegotiate or pull their money in August 2026. Four months from now. The fund has made no returns. So why would the Saudis keep $2 billion parked in a fund that hasn’t made them a dime? Unless the return isn’t financial. Unless the return is a war that takes Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil competitor off the map.

Iran exports 1.5 million barrels a day. Saudi Arabia exports about 7 million. If Iran’s exports drop, Saudi Arabia fills the gap. Price goes up. MBS gets richer. The guy who gave Kushner $2 billion gets richer. And Kushner keeps collecting his 1.25% annual fee on that $2 billion. That’s $25 million a year for being Jared Kushner, I guess.

I can’t tell you if this is technically illegal. But I can count to three. Saudi money. Iran war. Saudi profit. If those three things aren’t connected, it’s the most convenient coincidence in the history of American foreign policy.

And nobody has stopped him. Congress sent a letter. That’s it. A letter.
