Why aren't Kushner Companies being investigated for pay for play?
Last May, Jared Kushner accompanied President Trump, his father-in-law, on the pairs first diplomatic trip to Israel, part of Mr. Kushners White House assignment to achieve peace in the Middle East.
Shortly before, his family real estate company received a roughly $30 million investment from Menora Mivtachim, an insurer that is one of Israels largest financial institutions, according to a Menora executive.
The deal, which was not made public, pumped significant new equity into 10 Maryland apartment complexes controlled by Mr. Kushners firm. While Mr. Kushner has sold parts of his business since taking a White House job last year, he still has stakes in most of the family empire including the apartment buildings in and around Baltimore.
The Menora transaction is the latest financial arrangement that has surfaced between Mr. Kushners family business and Israeli partners, including one of the countrys wealthiest families and a large Israeli bank that is the subject of a United States criminal investigation.
