Jim Jordan defends Kushner after Hunter Biden raises Saudi deals
(snip)
Hunter Biden appeared for a closed-door deposition Wednesday, where he was grilled by Republicans about his foreign business deals. During the process, the presidents son flipped the question back on the GOP interrogators.
He drew the distinction between what he has done in a business world with independent businessmen, versus foreign governments, which he did not do any business with unlike Jared Kushner, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday during a break in the testimony.
During his time in the Trump White House, Kushner oversaw Middle East policy. He secured a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia six months after leaving his Oval Office post, a deal that raised questions.
The scrutiny intensified after a 2022 New York Times report detailed how the Saudi sovereigns advisory panel was not supportive of investing in Kushners private equity firm, pointing to the inexperience of the management. The doubts were quashed by a bigger advisory board led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, an ally of the Trump administration.

(182,964 posts)House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), the other House Republican spearheading the probe into Hunter Biden, said in August that Kushner crossed the line of ethics by accepting a $2 billion investment.
However, Comer drew a distinction at the time between the two cases, saying Kushner secured the funds after leaving office, while Hunter Bidens deals came through while his father was the vice president.

(182,964 posts)The idea that Jared Kushner did something wrong is ridiculous, Jordan told Newsmaxs Eric Bolling during a Wednesday night appearance on The Balance.
I mean, the Trump family has been investigated more than any family on the planet, and what theyve attempted to do to President Trump and been doing to President Trump over the last seven years is unbelievable, Jordan said.

(21,822 posts)Comer left this extremely important interview halfway through. Didn't even bother to sit through the hearing.
This is all a game to these Republicans.
They know full well there is no "there" there, and they don't care.
It is all about stirring the pot, raising a stink, sowing confusion.
