Federal prosecutors in New York are examining a $285 million loan that Deutsche Bank AG made one month before election day last year to the real-estate company run by the family of Jared Kushner, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Prosecutors from the Brooklyn U.S. attorney’s office issued a document request in mid-November to Kushner Cos., asking for contracts and other information pertaining to the loan from the bank, this person said.

Chris Taylor, a spokeswoman for Kushner Cos., said the company “has cooperated and will continue to cooperate with any reasonable request for information.” A spokesman for Deutsche Bank declined to comment.

A spokesman for the Brooklyn U.S. attorney’s office said he couldn’t “confirm or deny the existence of any investigation.”

4. I have a hunch that Jared will eventually turn on his father in law

which will lead to a messy divorce.

6. EB-5 investment-for-immigration program

I think this is a big deal because they got caught using this as a way for investors to get influence with Trump and using Jared's name in the advertising with White House

9. Not Mueller

So even if Trump or his henchmen fire Mueller, these other investigations/ prosecutions will still go on.
