NEW YORK — Troubling news for Jared Kushner today, as, it has surfaced that during the Presidential campaign he met with several finance execs (and even did such before) from numerous banks. The New York Times is out today with a damning report on Kushner Companies, the first of multiple companies, that apparently received the loans.
The Times uncovered that the loans were given to Kushner explicitly after meetings with him at the White House (which wouldn’t of been known to the public given that visitor logs are pretty non-existent in the Trump Administration). First up, a $325m loan from Citigroup to Kushner and a business partner to finance numerous Brooklyn office buildings that Kushner had been eyeing. The meetings took place with none other than Citigroup chief himself Michael Corbat.
It gets even more interesting. In the second-half of The Times shocking expose on Kusher’s business ties, he, accepted an additional $184million loan from a group known as Apollo. Apollo was a known adviser to the Trump Administration on infrastructure policy. The loan from Apollo was apparently to re-finance a Chicago skyscraper sold to Kushner’s company in 2007.
Reps for the real estate company denied any wrongdoing in phone calls to The Daily News. Alike the statement provided to The Times, reps claimed that “The reports currently out today are nothing more than smear campaigns and politically charged journalism aimed at Mr. Kushner.”
